I promise - next time I'll move onto grainier pastures. But this dish is sweet, spicy, savory and delicious with the slightest hint of rice vinegar. Combined with a mountain of steamed white rice and enough kimchi to swim in, the essence of good Korean food is brought out. And boy is this delicious essence right here, everything is well balanced and tasty, and the fresh green onions add a nice fresh taste to the meal. I did not create the sauce recipe, but I did take a few extra steps on making and pre-cooking the seitan.
(Seitan Bulgogi)
- 1 and 1/4 a Cup of Vital Wheat Gluten (I used Arrowhead Mills)
- 3/4 a Cup Cold Shiitake Broth (hot water and five mushrooms)
- 1/2 tsp of Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp of Iodized Salt
(Bulgogi Sauce)

(Directions)
- Combine the dry ingredients and add the broth afterwards.
- Steam the seitan for about 15 minutes just so that they would be already par cooked.
- Let them cool down and let them marinate in the sauce for about 45 minutes to an hour, but allow as long as possible so that the flavors can permeate the seitan.
- Afterwards, pan-fry the seitan on each side and baste each cutlet with the sauce until the pan was smoky and hot.
- Then, transfer the seitan cutlets to an oiled grill in one direction, waiting for the grill marks to appear. Once they do, simply turn the cutlets about 90 degrees so that they could get the beautiful diamond shape seen most prominently on the far right cutlet.
- Served with fresh green onions, sesame seeds, steamed rice and kimchi.
- Enjoy!
