Healthy Seitan Strips: A Substitute of Vegan Meat
Seitan Strips
If you are looking for a healthy vegan recipe alternative to meat dishes, then you are at the right place. Here is a super meaty taste vegetarian and vegan recipe of seitan strips that you can make and use as a meat substitute for almost anything. You can add these seitan strips to stir-fries, vegetarian sandwiches, Chinese recipes, or just eat straight from the pot.
The combination of ingredients used to turn the plain seitan into a meaty-flavored substitute may sound a bit odd, but the tangy and full-bodied balsamic vinegar, salty soy sauce, and sweet barbecue sauce all combine for a meat-like flavor in this vegetarian and vegan seitan recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 pound seitan, sliced into strips or small chunks
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of water
Steps
- Be ready with all the ingredients.
- Sauté the sliced seitan in oil over medium-low heat until that is lightly browned on all sides. It may take about 5 minutes.
- Now add the soy sauce, stirring to coat the seitan well, then add barbecue sauce, balsamic vinegar, and a tablespoon or two of water. Now stir to mix well and coat seitan.
- It’s time to heat for 1 to 2 more minutes until water is completely absorbed and the seitan is fully cooked.
- Use your super meaty seitan strips to make barbecue-style sandwiches, add it to Vietnamese-style noodle soup, or, serve it with a side of collard greens and some mac and cheese for a Southern vegetarian feast!

Questions
Does this mean the rest of the flat has to be perfect too?
No. That is the point of choosing one surface rather than the whole room. It works precisely because it does not ask anything of the rest of the space.
What if something has to sit there temporarily?
Then it sits there today, and it is gone by tomorrow. The surface is a decision you keep making, not a rule you are never allowed to break.
Does it have to be a table by the door?
No. Any surface at the edge of arrival will do — a shelf, a bench, the end of a counter. What it needs is proximity to the door, and freedom from every other duty in the flat.
How long before it feels automatic?
For her, four days to stop reaching, and closer to three weeks before her hand went there without thinking about it. Most women who try this land somewhere in that range.
One letter, most Sundays.
Written to one woman rather than a list. No offers dressed as observations, and nothing sent because it is a Tuesday.
