- 8 oz. of seitan (ground crumble style) or extra-firm tofu, pressed & thinly sliced or soy crumbles or thinly sliced baked tofu (or use BBQ pork for the non-vegan version)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 t. grated fresh ginger
- 3 T. soy sauce, divided
- 2 T. hoisin sauce
- 2 t. sriracha
- 1 t. sugar (I always omit this - hoisin sauce is sweet enough for me as it is)
- 2 T. seasoned or plain rice wine vinegar
- 3 t. finely shredded cabbage
- 1 lg. carrot, shredded
- 1/2 English cucumber, peeled & chopped
- 1 c. fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 c. minced green onions
- 1/2 baguette, cut in half & sliced into 4 serving slices.
Preheat large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 T. vegetable broth or water to keep protein from sticking (note: skip this step if you are using pork). Add seitan or other option and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes or less per side. Add small amounts of additional broth or water to deglaze pan and prevent sticking as needed.
Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 minute longer. Splash with 1 T. of the soy sauce. Set aside and cool.
In small bowl, combine remaining soy sauce with the hoisin, sriracha, sugar and vinegar, stirring well to blend. Set aside.
Spread shredded cabbage on a large platter, sprinkle evenly with vegetables. Arrange seitan on the top.
Serve with sliced baguettes and pass the dressing to spoon on top of the salad. It's a bit messy no matter how you eat it!
