Ingredients
- • seitan: 8 oz, sliced
- • fresh mango: 1 large, peeled and diced
- • red bell pepper: 1, thinly sliced
- • broccoli florets: 2 cups
- • quinoa: 1 cup, rinsed
- • water: 2 cups
- • coconut oil: 2 tablespoons
- • soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free): 3 tablespoons
- • sriracha: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh ginger: 1 inch, minced
- • garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • scallions: 2, chopped
- • sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon, for garnish
- • lime wedges: for serving
- • salt and pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Begin by cooking the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- 2 While the quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seitan slices and sauté for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- 3 In the same skillet, add the remaining coconut oil. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the broccoli and red bell pepper, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 4 Return the seitan to the skillet, and add the diced mango, soy sauce, and sriracha. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring to combine all ingredients and heat through.
- 5 Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped scallions and sesame seeds just before serving for added crunch and flavor.
- 6 Serve the stir fry over a bed of quinoa, garnished with lime wedges for an extra zesty touch.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Spicy Seitan and Mango Stir Fry with Quinoa pairs wonderfully with a simple mixed greens salad to add more freshness to your meal. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving a chilled glass of iced green tea, which complements the spicy and sweet flavors of the dish. To enhance the tropical theme, you might enjoy a coconut water-based drink as a hydrating option.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the texture of the ingredients, reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it may alter the texture of the seitan and mango.
