How To Make simple vegetarian hungarian goulash

• Step 1
  For 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!
• Step 2
  In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, salt, Worcestershire, vinegar, and ketchup. I could pretend the order is important; it isn't.
• Step 3
  Heat 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.)
• Step 4
  Once onions are a little wilted, add seasoning mixture to pan. Add 1/2 cup water, stir, and cover.
• Step 5
  Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Step 6
  Mix 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.
• Step 7
  While goulash is thickening, bring water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions.
• Step 8
  Serve goulash over noodles. Enjoy!
