These came out great - with a totally different texture than the usual seitan stir fry. I did change things around a bit - to make it lower carb, I used ground almonds instead of the flour. Probably didn't stick as well, but the end result was still excellent. For the herbs, I used a mix of basil, oregano, thyme, onion powder and smoked paprika.

This was really tasty, but needed a tad more salt, like maybe a teaspoon...But that could have been because I was using homemade seitan, I'm sure the sodium content is way lower than store bought. I used The Spice Hunter's salt free Organic Italian Seasoning (basil, rosemary, marjoram, sage, thyme, and oregano). Kids inhaled it too!

I learned how to cook at a vegetarian co-op in college, which makes me somewhat unusual as cooks go -- the hippie co-op cooking style still informs most of my cooking. I've been vegetarian since 2005, and I love teaching people that food can taste good even without meat. I love cooking local, organic food with lots of veggies, and my local farmer's market is the best part of living in a city, food-wise.
