Ingredients

  • 330g Essential Broccoli, broken into small florets
  • 100ml dark soy sauce
  • tbsp light brown soft sugar
  • tsp toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • tbsp cornflour
  • 225g cornflour
  • 225g The Tofoo Co Original Seitan
  • 4 clove/s garlic, finely grated
  • 30g ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • amed rice and toasted sesame seeds, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Put the kettle on to boil. Put the broccoli in a large heatproof bowl and pour over just-boiled water to cover. Let stand for 4 minutes, then drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix the soy, sugar, sesame oil (if using), 1 tbsp water and plenty of ground black pepper; set aside.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. While it’s heating, put the cornflour in a small bowl and season. Cut the seitan into bitesized pieces and toss in the seasoned cornflour. Fry for 6 minutes until golden, turning regularly until crisp. Lift out of the pan and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.

  3. Lower the heat to medium-high and stir fry the garlic and ginger for a minute until fragrant. Add the soy mixture and bubble, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until thicker and syrupy. Add the broccoli and seitan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat in the sauce. Serve immediately with steamed rice and scattered with toasted sesame seeds, if liked.
