Method

1. Boil the white rice in salted water according to package instructions, then drain and keep warm.
2. Slice the seitan into thin strips and lightly coat them in the rice flour.
3. Heat half the oil in a pan and brown the seitan strips for 4-5 minutes until the edges are crispy.
4. Pour in the orange juice, soy sauce, and freshly grated ginger; simmer for 2-3 minutes until a thick glaze forms.
5. In a separate pan, sauté the spinach with the remaining oil and a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
6. Serve the glazed seitan alongside the rice and the sautéed spinach.

Tips

• The rice flour coating is essential to create a thick, velvety sauce that clings to the seitan.
• Seitan is an excellent meal-prep protein; it stays tender even after reheating in the microwave.
