Marinated Seitan Fillets

These marinated fillets are perfect additions to a stir fry.  Alternatively, try giving them a good sear in a pan and serving them meat-and-potatoes style along some hearty vegetables and roasted roots. Seitan was developed in 6th century China, where is was widely consumed as a much needed source of protein.  It offers concentrated nutrition in the form of vital wheat gluten, negating a reliance on soybean production: something that was inaccessible for many parts of ancient China.
