Stir Fry Crazy

There are only a few things I can improvise with when it comes to cooking. No matter how fluid I can be in other parts of my life, I find comfort in the security of a recipe. Eventually, I’ll understand how it works, and I can get a little bit more confident in taking departures.

Tonight’s stir fry was entirely improvised. I knew I had some seitan to use, and I pulled out what was left in the fridge veggie-wise, chopped it up and then figured out what to use for the sauce. The end result was remarkably good considering I was cooking on the seat of my pants. Sometimes you get lucky!

I’m still a n00b when it comes to cooking with seitan, but this came out very well. I simmered it in water, and then briefly sauteed it in sauce before adding it in with the veggies.

  1. Hi, I’m new here. That looks delicious. I’m wondering if you like water chestnuts – they would probably be good in there.

    It looks like it would be good with a bit of soy sauce and ginger.

    Now you got me hungry and it’s not even 10 am!

  2. Hi there! Welcome!

    I’ll probably get some water chestnuts for the pantry. I like them a lot, but never seem to have any at hand. Why didn’t I think of ginger?
