Kale and SeitanIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 huge bunch of kale (about 8 to 10 cups sliced)
2 cups seitan, sliced, cubed or chopped
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Directions:1) Clean and chop kale. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes, or until bright green and soft. You could also dunk it in boiling water for a couple of minutes, uncovered, until bright green if you don't have a steamer.
2) Meanwhile, slice the onion into thin half moons and mince the garlic and ginger. Heat the oils in a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are just translucent. Add sliced seitan (if it is packaged in water, drain it first) and stir to heat though.
3) Around this time the kale should be done. Take the kale and add it to the skillet/wok and stir to combine. Heat for a couple more minutes or until kale is done to your liking. I tend to like it pretty "crunchy."
4) Turn off heat. Sprinkle on the soy sauce and rice vinegar and stir to mix everything together. Enjoy!
You may want to add the soy sauce and vinegar to taste. I have given approximate measures but I don't measure it.
