# Ingredients:

01 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
02 - 1 tablespoon curry powder
03 - 1 cup basmati rice
04 - 1 cup water
05 - 20 oz can of pineapple tidbits or crushed pineapple, including juice
06 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

09 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
10 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
11 - 1 teaspoon brown sugar
12 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (split up)

# Steps:

01 - Toss rice, water, pineapple chunks with juice, curry powder, salt, and red pepper flakes into a medium pot. Cover up and simmer over medium heat for 20-25 minutes till soft.
02 - Warm up a medium skillet on medium heat. Put in 2 tablespoons oil, stir in curry powder, and sprinkle in red pepper flakes. Let it cook for about 4 minutes till it smells amazing. Turn off heat and mix in soy sauce and brown sugar.
03 - Take the skillet back to the heat with the rest of the oil. Toss in seitan and cook for 4-5 minutes until warmed up nicely.
04 - Drizzle curry sauce over seitan, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Plate it with the pineapple rice on the side.

# Tips:

01 - Skip red pepper flakes if you want it milder.
02 - Don’t toss out the pineapple juice; it’s needed for the right amount of liquid.
03 - Seitan comes from wheat, so it’s not suitable for gluten-free diets.
