Seitan and Broccoli with Pantry BBQ Sauce

More goodness from  Isa Does It.  Using the Chicky Seitan recipe, I made about two pounds of seitan, all of which I used in the recipe.  The BBQ sauce is as it says, using all items that are pantry staples.  It really was very simple to rustle up, and the flavor of the seitan was really brought out by the steaming.  My son Chris, who has been vegetarian for nearly 10 years, really liked this, his first time trying seitan.  Amy and I liked it too, and I definitely want to make this again.

Everyday Pad Thai

I tried the Everyday Pad Thai recipe from Isa Does It, and it is really good!  Amazing - it tastes like restaurant food.  It really does!  It was really delicious!  I will definitely make it again.  One thing - Marcus does not care for tofu, so I could make it with seitan for him.  I left out the cilantro ad the scallions, and added an onion, sliced really thinly.  Also, I browned the tofu in peanut oil like ICM tells you to in Brooklyn Pad Thai in Vegan With A Vengeance.  I think that will be the next Pad Thai recipe I try, the Brooklyn Pad Thai.  I have a LOT of rice noodles left so definitely need to try that.  It appears to be a bit more complex.  And she does say to only cook half of the veggies/sauce/noodles/tofu at a time so the noodles don't become soggy.  I tend to avoid things like that.  But I also have some broccoli left, so ... yeah.
