Add the seitan to the pan and stir-fry for 5 minutes until it starts to brown slightly.
Stir in the five-spice powder, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Mix well to coat the seitan.
Pour in the vegetable broth. Add the carrot, bok choy, and half of the spring onions. Let it simmer for about 7-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

If using, sprinkle in the chili flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
