Vegetarian Chinese Recipes + Seitan

[minosagape]

Might anyone have some favorite, flavorful Chinese vegetarian recipes they'd
like to share. I'm also interested in using seitan to make mock chicken and
beef recipes or in recipes that mimic meat recipes but without the meat.
I've had difficulty converting meat recipes to vegetarian recipes.

We usually buy deep fried balls of gluten from Chinatown. These can be
flavoured several ways, the most common being sweet and sour (1 cup
ketchup + 2 Tbsp vinegar + 1 tsp sugar), curry, and oyster sauce (or
the vegetarian version made from mushrooms). However these balls are
very greasy and I usually blanch them in 3 changes of water to get most
of the oil out.

As for solid seitan, what kind of problems are you having? you can
slice them and stir fry with veggies, or stew them with mushrooms etc.
The Cantonese version of mock chicken is usually made with soy sheets
(fresh or dried) that's been wrapped into a roll or block form, then
steamed or pan fried. When you add veggies as a filling (e.g.
mushrooms, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots) it becomes mock duck.
