I like it because it has a substancial amount of protein and in low in fact.
Sarina's Pepper Steak
"This simple tasty recipe was contributed by a long-time vegetarian and White Wave customer."

1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 red or green bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
Oil for stir-frying

1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
Stir-fry the seitan, onion, garlic, and peppers in the oil until the onion is transparent or until the peppers are at the desired consistency.
Dissolve the cornstarch and vegetable bouillon in the boiling water, and remove from heat. Pour the mixture into the pan with the seitan and stir. Serve over couscous, rice, or noodles.
