Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams seitan
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli, cut into small florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 100 grams snow peas
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the seitan into thin strips, similar to how beef would be sliced for stir-fry.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce.
Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and minced ginger to the skillet, stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced seitan to the skillet and stir-fry until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the seitan from the skillet and set aside.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes.
Return the seitan to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients.
Stir everything together, ensuring that the seitan and vegetables are well-coated with the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Season with black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately while hot, alongside rice or noodles, if desired.
