The other day I was in a serious mood to get some Chinese food. Because where I work, theres a Chinese food place the food smelled good but the smell of the grease and knowing that its practically all empty calories is just such a turn off :/. The only thing I usually order is moo goo gai pan, steamed and brown rice on the side. But why buy it for $6 when I can make a better one at home? ;) so I decided to make one myself! :)
Ingredients:
1. 7 oz of chicken style seitan (I used west soy) /4 chicken breast

13. 1 tsb of whole sesame seeds
14. 1/4 ginger powder
