Sweet and Sour Seitan

INGREDIENTS

Sauce:
1/4 cup tamari
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 can tomato paste
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
Juice from 1/2 can pineapple chunks (pineapple is used below)

2 packages seitan
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 cup bell pepper strips, any colour
1/2 can pineapple chunks

DIRECTIONS

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk together until slightly thick. Cover and set aside.

Cut the seitan into 1.5 inch strips. Add the garlic and the cornstarch and toss until the seitan is completely coated.

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet, then add seitan and onion. Pan fry until the seitan has turned a golden brown and is crispy on the outside. Add the bell pepper and cook until heated, about 2 minutes. Add sauce and the pineapple chunks and stir until combined and heated through.

Serve over rice.
