Ingredients

• 8 ounce egg-free spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 8 ounce seitan (drained and sliced thin)
• 3 cup broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoon green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook 8 ounces egg-free spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable broth, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced seitan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove seitan from skillet and set aside.
4. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Return the seitan to the skillet. Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk, then pour it over the seitan and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything. Toss with the cooked egg-free spaghetti.
6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
