Ingredients

• Seitan - 200 grams
• Fresh ginger - 20 grams, grated
• Scallions - 4, finely chopped
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon (15 ml)

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the grated ginger, chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Slice the seitan into bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated seitan pieces, reserving the marinade for later.
