- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup See Note

- ½ teaspoon lemon extract Nielsen-Massey Pure
- ¼ cup water 1 tablespoon corn starch
- ¼ cup corn starch 1 tablespoon corn starch
CHIK’N MIXTURE
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional See Note
- 1 yellow onion small; finely diced

- 14 ounce seitan ground, chicken flavored
- 1 broccolini bunch
- 1 cup rice uncooked; cook according to package directions
- sesame seeds optional
Garnish
- peanuts crushed

Instructions
- Cook the rice.
Orange Sauce
- Whisk the ¼ cup (60 ml) water and corn starch in a small bowl until the corn starch is fully dissolved.
- In a small saucepan, Whisk the water, maple syrup, chili sauce, ginger, orange extract and lemon extract until combined. Bring to a boil and whisk in the corn starch mixture. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it thickens. Remove from the heat.
- Steam the broccolini for approximately 5 minutes, or until the stalks are fork tender.
Chik’n Seitan
- Grind the seitan in a food processor or with a chef’s knife.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil and add the onions when the oil is hot. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until they begin to become translucent. Stir often. Add the seitan and garlic and stir to combine, cook for 2 minutes. Add the sauce and stir to coat the seitan. Add the broccolini and sauté for 2 to 4 minutes, or until heated through.
- Build your bowl to suit your style. Garnish with peanuts, green onion, and sesame seeds for extra crunch.
Notes
- If you like a sweeter, stickier sauce, add ⅓ cup of maple syrup or more. Make sure you taste it as you add to make sure you can still taste the other ingredients.
- If you don’t like spicy food, add the chili sauce 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired heat. If you like it super spicy, add more chili sauce until you reach the desired heat.
- I found that 1 tablespoon of Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract was the perfect amount. The orange flavor was the star of the show, but it didn’t overpower it. If you’re sensitive to strong flavors, I suggest adding 1 teaspoon of the extract at a time and taste it. Keep adding until you reach the desired flavor.
