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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by mincing the garlic cloves and grating the ginger root. Slice the green onions and set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In another small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the prepared soy-garlic sauce over the seitan strips and stir to coat evenly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve hot over steamed rice or your favorite grain for a complete meal.
