1
1) Combine wheat gluten and vegetable stock in a medium bowl.
2
Stir to combine, kneeding until a large, sticky ball is formed.
3
Set aside.
4
2) Combine all boiling liquid ingredients (except for oil) in a large pot, over medium heat.
5
Pull off 1/2 inch chunks of the wheat gluten mixture, and place them into the liquid.
6
Boil for 50 minutes.
7
Drain the gluten chunks in a colander (toss the liquid, or keep it for a future soup).
8
Since the gluten will expand as it boils, chop it into desired size.

3) Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pan.
10
Place the gluten chunks into the pan and fry until slightly browned on all sides.
11
Add additional oil, if needed.

Set aside.

4) In a large bowl, whisk together orange sauce ingredients (except for arrowroot powder and green pepper).
14
Place the sauce into a pan, along with the green pepper, and boil over low-medium heat until the sauce reduces slightly (about 10 minutes).
15
Remove from heat and whisk in arrowroot powder until combined.
16
Add the gluten pieces to the pan of sauce and saute for an additional 5 minutes (or until the sauce completely thickens).
17
Serve over rice or noodles.
