This is a much lighter, faster, meatless version of the delicious recipe my mom makes. All the flavor, all the protein, and half the fat!

How To Make simple vegetarian hungarian goulash
-
1For those of you unfamiliar with seitan (SAY-tahn), it's a flavorless meat substitute made with wheat gluten. It's very low-fat, but VERY high-protein, and is great at picking up flavors in stews and stir-fries. It's available in some grocery stores, but I prefer to make my own ahead of time, which is VERY easy. Instructions can be found here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2290825_make-seitan-from-scratch.html A batch can be kept in the freezer for about a month, and used for SO many things. Hope you'll give it a shot!

2In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, salt, Worcestershire, vinegar, and ketchup. I could pretend the order is important; it isn't.
-
3Heat the oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Add cubed seitan and onions to pan. Stir almost continuously for about 2 minutes. (The seitan may stick a little, don't worry.)
-
4Once onions are a little wilted, add seasoning mixture to pan. Add 1/2 cup water, stir, and cover.
-
5Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
6Mix 1/4 cup water with the flour and add to goulash. Stir and continue to cook (uncovered) for an additional 5 minutes (or until thickened). Remove from heat.
-
7While goulash is thickening, bring water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions.
-
8Serve goulash over noodles. Enjoy!
