Peppery Garlic Seitan Stir

Peppery Garlic Seitan Stir brings tender, chicken-style seitan together with sweet sautéed onion, plenty of garlic, and crisp green bell pepper for a bold, pepper-forward bite. The black pepper heat balances the seitan’s savory depth, making each forkful aromatic and satisfying. Serve it over rice or noodles for a quick weeknight dinner or a hearty plant-based lunch.
