Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Seitan in Creamy Peanut Sauce.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a small bowl and mixing together the chopped ginger, garlic, and red curry paste.
Step 2
As you stir, slowly pour in 1/4 cup of coconut milk, blending until the mixture is nice and smooth.
Step 3
Now, add the seitan to the bowl, making sure each piece is generously coated with that flavorful marinade.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour—this will really help the flavors develop and deepen.
Step 5
While the seitan is marinating, take a medium bowl and combine the remaining coconut milk, peanut butter, sugar, vegetable oil, tamari, chili garlic sauce, and vegetarian oyster sauce.
Step 6
Don’t worry if it doesn’t blend perfectly; it will all come together beautifully when you cook it.
Step 7
Set this delicious sauce aside for now.
Step 8
Next, lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat it over high heat.
Step 9
Toss in the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes tender and fragrant.
Step 10
Then, add the marinated seitan to the skillet and cook for around 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through and starting to brown a bit.
Step 11
Once the seitan is ready, pour your prepared sauce over it and give everything a good stir to combine.
Step 12
Now, add in the chopped spinach and green onions, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
Step 13
You’ll know it’s done when the sauce thickens up nicely and the spinach wilts down, creating a vibrant and inviting dish.
Step 14
Enjoy the wonderful aromas filling your kitchen as you prepare this delightful meal!.
