oh vegetarian and veggie-friendly friends

Anyone have any good dishes to make with seitan (wheat gluten)? I am having a lunch of some seitan simmered in veggie broth and soy sauce, mixed with sauteed broccoli. I wish it were tastier. It's a nice change from tofu, though. I'm going to visit the Whole Foods more now to buy some of these alternative-protein sources that aren't readily available at my supermarket.

Unfortunately, I'm a bit afraid of tempeh now because of the unfortunate extreme stomach pain that took me to the emergency room last summer. I don't think the tempeh I had for dinner that evening was the cause of it, but that's what I threw up at the emergency room, so now tempeh is linked with vomit in my brain. This is very unfortunate because I like tempeh, and one of my favorite dishes at a local restaurant is a black beans and tempeh thing.

Tempeh is remarkably like vomit in most repsects.

I have no recipes, but I like my seitan spicy--I used to stir fry it with zucchini and chili and soy sauce, then eat it with mashed potatoes. Mmm, good times.

You could look at some of these recipes.

Mmmm. Spicy sounds good. I will try it.
