Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 8-10 ounce pack unseasoned seitan chicken strips
1 cup vegetable broth
½ cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons cornstarch

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Stir in the onion and ginger and cook until the onion is softened, 2-3 minutes.

Transfer the onion mixture to a slow cooker insert. Add the seitan, broth, orange juice concentrate, cornstarch, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine. Cover the pot and cook for 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low.

Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and crumble in the rice. Cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until the rice begins to brown. Stir in the water and soy sauce and remove from the heat.

Serve the rice in bowls, topped with seitan orange chicken and extra sauce.
