THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS! cauliflower is one of my all-time favorite vegetables. i bet this would be great with tofu as well! also, the color of the cauliflower was retained nicely during the cooking process! when i have prepared yellow or green or purple or zebra striped (just kidding) cauliflower in the past, the color usually changes or fades.

That looks so yummy! I’ve just purchased all the ingredients to try and make your seitan steaks so I am very excited. Wish me luck (I’ve never made any form of seitan before, your recipe looks the easiest and yummiest)!

wow. that looks scrumptious.
i love general tsao’s tofu at a favorite pan asian restaurant but they deep fry the tofu. i’ve never tried to make my own sauce and do it at home but you’ve inspired me to try with the seitan roast i now have in the freezer sometime soon.
thanks!

U can’t spell Udon noodles w/out U. And i’m glad U made this. The baked seitan steaks are insanely groovy looking in that sauce. Wow. i’m glad i just ate (don’t ask what! it wasn’t anything like what you have here!!) or else i’d be drooling on my keyboard at work and shorting out the entire noozpaper…
