I love trying to replicate recipes. Especially those that I really miss being able to order since moving away from NY. I used to get this awesome sesame vegan chicken recipe from a place called Zen Palate which would deliver directly to my apartment on my days off or whenever I felt too tired to make dinner. Since coming back to Michigan, the ability to purchase vegan "meats" isn't as easy, so whenever I get the chance, I stock up. I've also been making several batches of seitan and freezing small portions of them so I can prepare a quick, tasty meal. This meal came together very fast thanks to that prepared seitan. Yum!

| Tasty, Crispy Yummy Sesame Seitan |
2-3 Servings of seitan, homemade or store bought
Canola or refined coconut oil for shallow frying
Broccoli or other veggies to have on the side, steamed
White or brown rice to serve.
Sauce:
1/2 cup filtered water
1 cup unchicken broth
2-4 tablespoons rice vinegar (I used 3)
1 tablespoon tapioca starch
1/2 cup organic sugar or agave
2 tablespoons tamari
2 tablespoons sesame oil (un-toasted)
1 teaspoon chili paste
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus additional to garnish
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1. Prepare the sauce: in a medium sauce pan add all of the ingredients. Whisk together well.
2. Turn the heat on medium and cook until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens considerably. Set aside to cool slightly until ready to use.
3. Cut the seitan into small pieces, dry well. Briefly pan fry in a small amount of canola or refined coconut oil until crispy. Place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
4. Once all of the seitan is cooked, place in a bowl with a generous amount of the sesame sauce. Toss well.
5. To serve, place a portion of the rice on the plate, followed by a serving of the sesame seitan and the steamed vegetable. Top the seitan with additional sesame seeds. That's it!
