- Prep: Chop the other half of the onion, thinly slice the peppers/chiles and green onion, and mince the garlic.Crumble the seitan in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor you can also mince the seitan with a chef's knife.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, and sauté the onion (the half that's not pickled) and peppers/chiles for a few minutes or until the onion is translucent.
- Add the seitan, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through and slightly browned.
- Next, add the green onion, garlic, soy sauce, sriracha, and maple syrup, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Once everything is hot, turn off the heat, and prep your lettuce cups, cilantro, mint, and lime wedges. Squeeze some fresh lime juice into the skillet and/or serve lime with individual servings.Spoon larb into the lettuce leaves, and garnish with chopped herbs, pickled red onion, and peanuts, if desired.
Notes
