How to Make Lauras General Tso's Seitan

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the seitan, cornstarch, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the seitan to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the seitan from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked seitan to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional) and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
