Method

1. Dice the seitan into small cubes and toss them with the cornstarch to lightly coat.
2. Cut the onion and green bell peppers into large squares.
3. Heat the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
4. Fry the seitan cubes for 4-5 minutes until crispy and brown, then remove from the pan.
5. Add the onion, peppers, grated ginger, and chili flakes to the pan, stir-frying for 3 minutes so they stay crunchy.
6. Whisk the soy sauce with a tablespoon of water and pour it into the pan.
7. Add the seitan back in and toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce thickens into a glaze.
8. Serve immediately while the vegetables are still vibrant.

Tips

• The cornstarch coating is the secret to getting a golden, crispy crust on the seitan.
• Use green bell peppers specifically for that authentic, slightly bitter 'chilli' style flavor profile.
