Seitan with teriyaki sauce

Teriyaki sauce is a sweet, somewhat thick Japanese sauce that dates back to the 17th century. Its name comes from combining the words 'teri', which means 'shine', and 'yaki', which translates as 'grilled'. The term thus refers to the way foods prepared with this sauce are cooked in Japan and to the glossy, lacquered finish it gives them.

This seitan with teriyaki sauce is a protein-rich, cholesterol-free dish that, thanks to the delicious qualities of the sauce, has a vibrant, slightly caramelized flavor in which the different ingredients come together in a wonderfully tasty and exquisite blend.

It is an ideal dish to serve with rice and/or vegetables, since the sauce coats all the components and they take on a silky texture and an utterly captivating flavor.

It is a dish rich in protein, flavonoids, carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids, isoflavones, terpenoids (antioxidants), lecithin, curcumin, fiber, oxalic acid, allicin, alliin, vitamins C, E and the B group (B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid); aluminum, sulfur, boron, calcium, cobalt, chromium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, silicon, sodium, zinc and, in smaller amounts, copper.
