Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz wide pasta noodles
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz seitan, sliced into strips
- 14 oz sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1.5 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup dry white wine optional
- 1.5 cup vegetable broth
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup dairy-free sour cream unsweetened
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 0.75 tsp fine sea salt plus more to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional, for extra savoriness
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Boil the noodles in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the seitan until browned, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté onion and mushrooms with a pinch of salt until deeply browned, 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and paprika and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute to coat the vegetables.
- Deglaze with the wine, scraping up browned bits, and simmer until mostly reduced, 1–2 minutes.
- Pour in broth and soy sauce. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3–4 minutes.
- Mix in Dijon and nutritional yeast. Return seitan to the pan and warm through, 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Fold in the dairy-free sour cream until smooth. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
- Serve the stroganoff over the noodles and finish with chopped parsley.
Notes
Variation: Swap half the mushrooms for sliced portobellos for extra meatiness, or add a pinch of dried thyme. For a tangier finish, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of lemon juice with the sour cream. Leftovers keep 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently and add a splash of broth if the sauce thickens.
