Ingredients

• Seitan - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
2. Cut the seitan into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
