seitan satay

I originally conceived this as a stir-fry pizza but it morphed into this seitan satay pizza as I started prepping ingredients. I used a store-bought satay sauce and it was a little on the sweet side - I guess that is what I get for being lazy and not making my own sauce. But despite that we both enjoyed the pizza very much. I'll give it a 7. Needed a less sweet sauce and some more toppings - I was still hungry after one slice! Perhaps some broccoli, snow peas, or maybe even the rice I had originally been thinking of adding - I guess I'll just have to make that stir-fry pizza soon!!

Here are the toppings:
  • Peanut satay sauce
  • Seitan
  • sauteed leek and bok choy
  • red bell pepper
  • passed the nutritional yeast and hot pepper flakes at the table

Sweet & Spicy Hawaiian Seitan Pizza


As is standard lately, I started with a whole wheat crust - maybe next time I'll make a different crust. The Sweet & Spicy Seitan sauce had most the toppings directly in it. That included onion, bell pepper, seitan, and kale. I topped that sauce with some chunks of pineapple. And as always passed the red pepper flakes (did skip the nutritional yeast this time although it probably would have tasted fine.)

We decided to start rating our pizza on a 10 point scale. 10 being "Wow, I could eat this every day" and 1 being "Yuck, I couldn't even finish eating this one piece." This one gets a 7.5. The sauce was a little juicy (I should have thickened it) but the flavor was delish. Tempeh would be a great texture on this one in place of the seitan if only K could eat tempeh again . sigh...
