Ingredients

• 300 grams seitan
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil

• 1 cup broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 100 grams snow peas
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Slice the seitan into thin strips, similar to how beef would be sliced for stir-fry.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and minced ginger to the skillet, stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced seitan to the skillet and stir-fry until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the seitan from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add the snow peas to the skillet and continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Return the seitan to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients.

Step 10

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.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 13
