Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
For the stir fry:
- 8 oz seitan cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp avocado oil plus more as needed
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 5 shiitake mushrooms sliced
- 3/4 cup shredded carrots
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- green onion for garnish chopped
Instructions
- Dice the seitan into bite-size pieces, then heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seitan and cook until it’s golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove it and set it aside.
- Meanwhile, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl; set aside.
- Next, add an additional tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms, along with a pinch of salt, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. NOTE: you may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help the mushrooms cook down. Add the carrots and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the seitan back into the skillet and give everything a good stir. Pour the sauce in and stir until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is coated. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve stir fry over rice, then sprinkle everything with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
