Ingredients
Veggies
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil 15 mL, generic cooking oil
- 6 cups vegetable can include mushrooms, bok choy, broccoli florets, snow peas, carrots, peppers etc, chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil 15 mL, toasted
- 1 Tbsp ginger freshly grated
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce 60 mL
- 1 Tbsp honey 15 g
Assembly
- 8 oz seitan cut into bite-sized pieces, 226 g
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil 15 mL, generic cooking oil
- 1 oz can bamboo shoots drained, 226 g
- green onion sliced, to serve
- sesame seeds sliced, to serve
Instructions
- Veggies: Heat oil in a large saute pan or wok (the largest you have) over medium/high. Add sliced veggies, salt, and pepper. Cook until veggies are slightly softened and golden at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Sauce: Meanwhile, add sesame oil to a small pan and heat over medium. Add ginger and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients to warm, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Seitan: Remove veggies from the large saute pan and add another 1 Tbsp of oil. Heat over medium/high, then add seitan. Cook, shaking often, until seitan is golden around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Assemble: To the pan with the seitan add back in the veggies, bamboo shoots, and sauce. Toss to evenly combine. Serve warm, topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Storage: Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. They can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
