Plant-based Seitan
MAKE IT
Step 1
First, slice the seitan slices into slightly larger than bite-size pieces. There are variations in the thickness of the seitan, which actually adds a nice textural element in the finished dish.
Step 2
Combine onion, pear, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and gochugaru in a medium-sized bowl and stir. Add in the seitan and toss the mixture around with your hands or a large spoon until well-coated. Cover and place into the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
Step 3
To sear the marinated seitan, preheat a large cast iron pan over medium-heat for a minute or two. Add a little vegetable oil to the pan, and roll it around to coat.
Step 4
Working in batches, shake off any excess marinade and place the seitan in a single layer in the pan.
Step 5
Allow it to cook on one side for a minute or two, then flip and finish the other side. Repeat with the rest of the seitan.
Step 6
If there are any burnt bits stuck to the pan in between batches, just use a spatula to scrape them off before making your next batch.
Step 7
Place the seitan in the tortillas with the desired amount of cabbage, scallions, cilantro, sour cream, kimchi, sesame seeds and lime juice. Serve immediately.
