By Hester

Ingredients

• 4 c. short grained rice cooked
• 1 lb seitan, or spicy vegetarian sausage, etc.
• 1 cup each of 1-2 vegetables to pan fry (zucchini, broccoli, bok choy, …)
• 4 cups lettuce,
• 1/2 cup red onions,
• 1 avocado,
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots,peppers, …
• bottled sauce of your choice (sweet chili sauce works well)
• toasted sesame seeds, lime zest, crisped bits of garlic, sliced green onions etc for garnish.

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the rice as you prefer, on the stove top or in a rice cooker.

Wash, dry, and slice the salad items, keeping them all separate. If you like, you could give any of them a quick pickle in rice vinegar.

Prepare the sauce.

Slice the protein item thinly and pan fry in a little oil until brown, season with salt.

Individually pan fry the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, or a little soy sauce if you like.

To serve, put about 1 c. of cooked rice in the bottom of a bowl, arrange the salad items around it, and top that with the cooked protein and vegetables, then drizzle or mound the sauce and sprinkle on the garnishes, finishing with a few grains of sea salt and a grind of black (or szechwan or balinese long) pepper.
