- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups onion, cut into thin half moons
- 8 ounces seitan, cut into ¼-inch strips
- 1 bay leaf
- 2½ tablespoons smooth almond butter
- 1½ cups water
- 2½ cups sliced white button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons shoyu, or to taste
- ¾ cup parsley leaves for garnish
- 12 ounces soft silken tofu
- 1 teaspoon umeboshi paste
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon rice syrup
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and saute for 10 minutes or until translucent. Add the seitan and the bay leaf, and continue to saute for another minute.
- Place the almond butter in a medium bowl. Slowly add the water while stirring to blend. Add to the skillet and mix with the seitan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and gently simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes more. Season with shoyu.
- While the ingredients simmer, place all of the sour cream ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the stroganoff topped with the sour cream and garnished with parsley leaves.
- Variations:
- Substitute tempeh or tofu for the seitan.
- Instead of almond butter, use tahini.
- Replace the shoyu with vegetable bouillon.
