Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 8 ounce seitan (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 cup broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 3 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1.5 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
• 2 tablespoon green onions (thinly sliced)

Instructions

1. Cook jasmine rice according to package directions.
2. While rice cooks, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, vegetable broth, cornstarch, and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
3. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seitan pieces and cook for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove seitan from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add broccoli florets and thinly sliced red bell pepper to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Add a splash of water if needed to help steam the broccoli.
5. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Return the seitan to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the seitan and vegetables, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve the Garlic Soy Seitan Stir-Fry immediately over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes

This stir-fry reheats very well. For best results when reheating, you can add a tablespoon of water or broth to keep the sauce from getting too thick.
