Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf Beefy style seitan link below
  • 1 cup Korean bbq sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable or chili oil
  • 4 packages ramen noodles + seasoning
  • 1-2 cups frozen vegetables
  • sliced scallions or jalapenos optional toppings

Method
 

  1. Slice the seitan in half lengthwise, then into thinnish strips. Marinate in the BBQ sauce for 30 minutes. 
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan, medium high. Cook the seitan, 2-3 minutes each side, reserving some of the marinade in the bowl. When the seitan is crispy and brown, pour the remaining marinade over it and turn the heat to low. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the marinade-covered seitan is all sticky and fabulous. 
  3. In a separate pot, cook the ramen per package directions, adding in the frozen veggies for the last minute or so. Drain most of the liquid then mix in the seasoning as you normally would. Serve in bowls topped with the seitan. 

Notes

This recipe is best with my Beefy-Style Seitan, which is easy to make and stores well in the freezer. 
For an extra flavorful broth you can add an extra tablespoon of Korean BBQ sauce to the ramen along with the seasoning, while it's still in the pot.
