My trick to surviving the long Dutch winters is to eat a good hearty lunch. I try to make a recipe that is warming and sunny at the same time: an absolute MUST when you are born on a tropical island like me 
But also for all the true Dutchies: eating your lunch warm with an exotic twist can bring back that spark and pull you out of the sluggish gray feeling that seeps in towards the end of winter.
Try this wonderful warming seitan stirfry! It is easy to make and.., you can prepare it in the morning, buy a tupperware box and take it with you to work ))))
Enjoy!

Cook the rice. Follow the cooking directions on the package: usually about 20 minutes.
Put the seitan, together with a bit of it’s marinade, in a small sauce pan. Cook uncovered for at least 5 minutes.
Put the oil in your skillet and heat. Put the cumin seeds in until they pop. Turn the heat down low and add the ground cumin. When you smell the spices add the sliced zucchini. Mix until covered by the spices. Turn the heat up to medium high and stirfry. When the zucchini is almost ready add the green peas and tauge. Cook for a couple minutes longer. Add the cooked seitan. Serve with some fresh coriander leaves.
