Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 teaspoon kuzu powder

2 teaspoons cold vegetable stock or water

1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil

1 large onion

quartered lengthwise and sliced

4 large garlic clove -- minced

2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger

1 large green or red bell pepper

cut into thin 1 1/2-inch-long strips

1/2 pound traditionally seasoned seitan

cut into thin 1 1/2-inch-long strips

1 cup vegetable stock

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 tablespoons shoyu or natural soy sauce

Freshly round black pepper -- to taste

Salt -- to taste

2 scallions

sliced on a diagonal

 

Combine the kuzu and cold stock in a small bowl and set aside until

dissolved, about 2 minutes.

 

Set a wok over high heat. Pour the oil around the rim and swirl it to coat

the pan. Add the onion and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until

translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, and bell pepper and continue

stir-frying for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the seitan.

 

Add the stock and bring it just to a boil. Simmer gently for about 5

minutes or until the vegetables are tender, flavors are blended, and liquid

is reduced by about half.

 

Whisk the vinegar and shoyu with the dissolved kuzu. Add this mixture to

the wok, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Season with pepper

to taste and add salt if needed. Garnish with the scallions.
