Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams seitan strips
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger root
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 60 ml water
- 2 green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
Begin by mincing the garlic cloves and grating the ginger root. Slice the green onions and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, minced garlic, maple syrup, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside this soy-garlic sauce.
In another small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the seitan strips. Stir-fry them for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Pour the prepared soy-garlic sauce over the seitan strips and stir to coat evenly.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and the seitan strips are well coated.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or your favorite grain for a complete meal.
