Buckwheat Pasta with Seitan
(Serves 6)

Seitan is a high-protein wheat product with a meaty taste and texture. In this recipe it is served with soba, Japanese buckwheat pasta. Look for seitan in health food stores. Soba is available in the Asian food section of many supermarkets and health food stores, as well as in Asian markets.

1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons oil
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
8 ounces seitan sliced
2 tablespoons flour
1-1/2 cups cold water
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces soba noodles
1 teaspoon salt

Sauté the onion in a large skillet with the oil until transparent, then add the mushrooms.

Cover and continue cooking until mushrooms are brown, then stir in the seitan.

Whisk flour and water together until smooth, then add to the skillet along with the soy sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat until thickened.

Bring water to boil in a large kettle. Add the soba and the salt and boil until al dente, about 8 minutes. Top with seitan mixture and serve.
