Seitan is a meat substitute made from wheat gluten. If you can't find Asian-marinated seitan, make your own by marinating plain seitan in teriyaki sauce overnight. Look for black bean-garlic sauce in the Asian food aisle; it's wonderful added to any stir-fry or soup. For less spice, use fewer serrano chiles.

- 1 tablespoon black bean-garlic sauce

- 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 serrano chile peppers, cut into ⅛-inch slices
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into ½-inch strips
Instructions
- Combine black bean-garlic sauce and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.

- Add 3 tablespoons water to pan, then cover and steam 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are barely tender. Add additional tablespoons of water as necessary to prevent food from scorching.
