The Ingredients

400g Seitan, torn into chunks
2 tbsp Toasted sesame oil

2 cups Broccoli florets
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated

3 tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
1 tbsp Maple syrup
1 tsp Rice vinegar
1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
2 Green onions, sliced
1 tbsp Sesame seeds

Method

01. Searing: Heat oil in a wok until shimmering. Sear the seitan until golden and edges turn crispy.
02. The Crunch: Add broccoli and peppers. Toss rapidly for 3-4 minutes to keep them vivid and crisp.
03. Aromatics: Stir in garlic and ginger until fragrant, letting the scent fill your kitchen.
04. The Glaze: Pour in the tamari mixture. Toss until every piece is coated in a glossy, savory embrace.

Stewart’s Secret: For the ultimate texture, pat your seitan dry with a paper towel before searing. Moisture is the enemy of a golden, authentic crust!
