Orange Glazed Seitan over Rice

So even though I don't really like Chinese food I created this dish to mimic having Chinese leftovers for breakfast. I actually ate it for breakfast but I think it would make a fine lunch or dinner too. The orange glaze itself is pretty simple to make and would work well on veggies or another meat substitute or just as a sauce for an Asian-inspired meal.

Orange Glazed Seitan over Rice (serves 4)

8 oz. seitan, cut into small pieces
1 cup (dry) rice (I used a combination of brown and wild rice)
1 Tbls. sesame oil
Salt and pepper
2 tsp. sesame seeds

For the glaze:
Juice and zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup water
2 Tbls. rice vinegar
2 Tbls. white vinegar
1 Tbls. red miso paste
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 inch knob fresh ginger, grated

Start cooking the rice according to package directions. Next, combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until the glaze coats the back of a spoon.

When the rice is about 10 minutes away from being done, heat the sesame oil in a large pan. Saute the seitan until it is golden brown. Add the seitan to the glaze and stir to coat. When the rice is done, season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, spoon rice into bowls and make a well in the middle. Add the seitan and garnish with sesame seeds.
