Jasha Maroo (Spicy Bhutanese Stew)

Another hearty recipe from the Himalayan foothills. Starting to notice they don't really have a very wide variety of produce up there in the higher elevations?

1 lb. gluten strips, chopped into small pieces
1.5 TB sesame oil
4 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup leek, finely chopped
2 TB Shaoxing wine
1 tomato, diced
2 jalapenos, diced
1 cup vegetable stock
salt, to taste
cilantro, for garnish

Add sesame oil to pan and saute gluten pieces, garlic, leek, onion, and jalapeno until slightly browned. Add wine and tomato and stir. Add stock to pan and stir. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes on low. Add more stock if necessary. Salt to taste and serve. Garnish with cilantro.
