Grilling season is here! Made with homemade seitan, these grilled teriyaki rolls are stuffed with bright green scallions, and would be great served alongside a simple pot of steamed rice or with a cold gingery noodle dish. Much of this recipe could be done ahead of time - make the seitan, assemble the rolls, then grill when you’re ready to eat.

- 8 c vegetable broth
- 6 clv garlic

Seitan Negimaki Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten with the nutritional yeast. Add the 3/4 cup of water and the soy sauce. Knead until it forms a stiff dough, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and shape the dough into a flat log about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. Set aside.
- Combine the vegetable broth, garlic and 1/4 cup sliced ginger in a large pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a very gentle simmer, and submerge the seitan in the broth. Simmer for 30 minutes, partially covered to allow steam to escape. Leave the seitan to cool completely in the broth.
- In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the hoisin, mirin, remaining 3 tablespoons of water, Sriracha, teaspoon of minced ginger and sesame oil. Set aside.
- When the seitan has cooled, remove from broth. Carefully slice off 16 slices about 1/8-inch thick (you’ll have extra seitan). Transfer the slices to the bowl of marinade, and marinate for 1 hour, flipping occasionally. After 1 hour, use a wooden spoon to push the seitan to one side of the bowl. Add the scallions to the marinade, keeping them separate from the seitan.
- Place some toothpicks in a small bowl of water to soak.
- Assemble the rolls. Place 1 slice of seitan on a plate. Arrange 4-5 scallions on the seitan, and roll the seitan up, with the ends of the scallions poking out on both sides. Use a toothpick to secure the rolls and complete with the remaining seitan and scallions.
- Heat a grill to medium. Brush the grate with oil, then set the rolls on the grill and cook 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once, until grill marks appear. Transfer to a serving dish as they cook. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
