[gourmet-spicy-veg] Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chow Mein with Seitan

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the slow-cooker recipes!  The lentils-and-rice one sounds great,

too.  I love using my slow-cooker, especially during this time of year.

Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chow Mein with Seitan

 

 

 

1 pound

 

seitan -- chopped

 

4 stalks celery -- chopped

 

3 carrots -- diced or

 

grated

 

6 scallions -- (green onions) sliced

 

1 cup vegetable broth

 

1/3

 

cup soy sauce

 

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- to taste (1/4 to 1/2)

 

1/2

 

teaspoon ginger

 

1/2 cup bean sprouts

 

1 can water chestnuts -- (8 ounce)

 

sliced

 

1/4 cup cornstarch

 

1/3 cup water

 

 

 

Combine all ingredients,

 

except the cornstarch and water in a slow cooker or

 

crock pot. Cover and

 

allow to cook for 6 to 8 hours on low heat.

 

 

 

After 6 - 8 hours, whisk

 

together the cornstarch and water. Add to crock pot,

 

stirring well. Cover

 

partially, and allow to cook for another 15 minutes.

 

 

 

Serve over

 

rice.

 

 

 

Serves 4

 

 

 

This Chinese chow mein recipe with seitan is a

 

vegetarian crock pot recipe that

 

you can prepare in the morning and leave in

 

the crock pot all day. I don't

 

really like water chestnuts, so sometimes I

 

add cashews during the last few

 

minutes of cooking instead. You may want to

 

serve this vegetarian chow mein over

 

rice.
