Tips
I find that I actually need a lot more broth than listed to make the dish as sauce as I like it so instead of 1/4 cup, I use nearly a whole additional cup. Experiment and see how you like it, start with the 1/4 cup as written but have more on hand in case you're like me and want a saucier dish.
Directions
Prepare the Udon Noodles according to the package and set aside
Prepare the curry roux:
If you have never made a roux before it's fun and easy but it does require your undivided attention or it will burn. Combine the flour and 2 tbs peanut oil in a small sauce pan stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture browns to a carmel color. Stir in curry powder and Garam Masala (if you can find it, you can make it without if you have to) and cook for another minute stirring constantly. Switch to a wire whisk and pour in 1/2 cup of the vegetable broth in a steady stream. Whisk in the sugar stirring constantly until a thick sauce forms (about 2 minutes). Remove from the heat and set aside.
Using a 1/4 cup of broth and a non-stick wok or skillet, cook the sliced onion until soft (about 5 minutes), add the broccoli, red pepper strips, ginger and seitan and stir fry for another 8-10 minutes. Next add the Udon noodles to the mixture and sprinkle with soy sauce, mixing well. Return to the curry roux and whisk the remaining vegetable sauce into the roux, pour the whole roux over the stir fry mix and toss to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the whole thing is warm
