(VEGAN RECIPE) I wasn’t a huge fan of seitan, but this recipe changed my mind! I originally made it for a friend and really enjoyed it. I also like to make a similar version of this recipe with tempura cauliflower in place of seitan, which is equally amazing, but a bit more time consuming. You can also use dry fried tofu for a gluten-free version. This week’s Meat-Free Monday challenge will have your guests asking, “are you sure it’s meat-free?” — Global Animal
