    METHOD

    1 cup (235 mL) broth, tamari, vinegar, sambal oelek, and sriracha in a small bowl 2 tbsp (16 g) cornstarch, whisked in Place aside.

    On a plate, combine 3 tbsp (24 g) cornstarch and the 5- spice powder. Using your hands, dredge the seitan in the mixture. In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over high heat.

    Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the seitan when the oil begins to ripple. Be cautious because it may spatter. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seitan is browned. Set aside after removing from the wok.

    Cook the broccoli in the same wok for 3 to 4 minutes, or until some of the edges are slightly brown. Turn the heat up to high and add the remaining 12 cup (120 ml) of broth. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and slightly crisp. Cooking time should not be exceeded.

    Combine the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, scallions, and sesame seeds in a mixing bowl. Pour the sauce mixture over the seitan in the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with rice if desired.
