Making your own “meaty” seitan is pretty easy and once you know how, you’ll always want to have some on hand. Then you can grab some from your fridge and throw it in this spicy, slightly-sweet chile-chocolate mole sauce from the Veganomicon. Pair it with some steamed rice, and you have a wonderful hearty meal!
*Chile Chocolate Mole is gluten and soy free
