This vegan take on the traditional Sichuan dish features Dan Dan noodles and seitan in a flavorful and spicy stir-fry. This dish is quick and simple to make, and it's full of flavor.
Ingredients: 8 oz Dan Dan noodles. 1 cup seitan, sliced thinly. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon ginger, minced. 2 green onions, chopped. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 1 tablespoon sesame oil. 2 teaspoons chili paste. 1/2 cup vegetable broth. 1 tablespoon cornstarch. 1 teaspoon sugar. 1/4 cup crushed peanuts. Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish.
Instructions: Follow the directions on the package to prepare the Dan Dan noodles. After draining, set aside. Combine the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, chili paste, sesame oil, and vegetable broth in a small bowl. Put aside. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the ginger and garlic for one to two minutes, or until fragrant. Brown the seitan slices by cooking them for three to four minutes. Stir-fry the seitan for a further two to three minutes, or until the sauce thickens, after pouring the sauce mixture over it. When the Dan Dan noodles are cooked, add them to the skillet and toss to evenly coat them in seitan and sauce. Add the chopped green onions and continue cooking for a minute or two more. Distribute the seitan and stir-fried Dan Dan noodles among serving dishes. Garnish each serving with chopped fresh cilantro leaves and crushed peanuts. Enjoy while hot!
