Rice noodles with leek and seitan (Mongolian noodles)

Ingredients: (for 4 persons)

• 200g rice noodles
• 200g seitan (or you could also use tofu)
• 1-2 large leeks

Ingredients for the sauce:

• 3dl cold water
• 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli
• 7 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 pinch of turmeric
• 2 tablespoons rice flour (or potato starch)

Method:

1. Cut seitan (or tofu) and leek.
2. In 3dl cold water mix 2 tablespoons rice flour and add chilli with soy sauces and curcume.
3. Fry seitan in a pan with some oil (I used sunflower oil) untill it gets just a little crispy.
4. Put the rice noodles in hot water (prepare as said on the package, but usually it takes only 3 minutes to soften).
5. Add diced leek to seitan in a pan and when it becomes softer add rice noodles.
6. Add the chilli-soy sauce mixture and keep stirring. Bring it to a boil and if the sauce is too thick add some water.

You can always add some soy sauce if you like more salt and this recipe is a bit spicy so if you like it milder just use less chilli.
