By pattie_d

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons  olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, optional
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
• 2 large broccoli crowns, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds seitan or Homemade Seitan,
• cut into bite-sized chunks
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, plus more for seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh or jarred ginger, or more, to taste
• 1 teaspoon natural granulated sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil plus 2 tablespoons water (or broth from the seitan) in a stir-fry pan or wok. Add the garlic and broccoli. Turn the heat to medium-high and stir fry for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green.
Add the remaining ingredients and continue to stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until everything is sizzling hot. Add a small amount of additional water or seitan broth to the pan if it gets dry.
Serve at once, passing around additional soy sauce for seasoning individual portions.
