Boil the cup of water and soak teh dried mushrooms (if they are morels or
shitake) for 30 mins. Save soaking water. If using porcini add when

mushrooms, tomato powder, and 1/4 cup water. Cook 5 more min. Then
add Seitan chunks, dried herbs and rehydrated mushrooms, cut in
pieces. Cook 5 more min.
Add soaking water drained of any debris and porcini, if using them. Add
miso and stir. Cook for 10 more min. until veggies are almost tender.
combine remaining 1/4 cup water with the arrowroot and add to the pan
over med. heat, stirring until thickened. If too thick add water 1
Tablespoon at a time. If too thin add arrowroot 1 teas. at a time.
Season with black pepper. Add parsley just before serving.
If you are using seitan that has not been cooked in tamari broth you will
want to add tamari and/or salt.
Serve over hot noodles or rice.
Use whatever veggies are fresh at the time you are making this. Feel
free to make substitutions.
Jill served this over freshly made WW noodles.
