Miso-Teriyaki Seitan

Miso-Teriyaki Seitan with Grilled Onions and Chipotle-Dill Mayo

This sandwich is a take on one I had at the Cinnamon Snail late last year. It was so delicious that I wanted to eat it over and over and over again so I whipped up my own version. The Miso-Teriyaki sauce was easy to do. I just whisked together some tamari, mirin, maple syrup and white miso together. I marinated the seitan slices for at least an hour and then seared them in a non stick pan. At the end of their cooking time I poured a bit of the marinade over them to make them extra juicy. The grilled onions were just what they say they are. The original sandwich had arugula on it but I subbed spinach just because that is what I had.  The original had a Wasabi type of mayo, since I don’t keep wasabi powder stocked in my kitchen I made a Chipotle-Dill Mayo out of Veganaise, chipotle powder (magical stuff!), dried dill and a touch of lemon juice. Its my go to spiced mayo for any burger or sandwich I make. The combo of chipotle and dill is weirdly delicious.  The only item on the Cinnamon Snail version of the sandwich that I didn’t try to recreate was the 5 spice fried sunflower gomasio. I loved it. I love anything 5 spice, fried and sunflower but I didn’t feel like trying my hand at it. Perhaps next time I will.
