Ingredients

The Protein Source

  • Seitan chunks (made with 40g vital wheat gluten poweder)

The Stir-Fry Veggies

Stir-Fry Sauce Glaze

  • Vegetable stock or dissolved cube (50ml)
  • Cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water)
  • Soy sauce or liquid aminos (1-2 tbsp)
  • Black pepper and preferred stir-fry spices

Fresh Toppings

Equipment

  • Small cooking pot
  • Air fryer
  • Airtight storage container or large bowl
  • Chef knife & chopping board
  • Whisk or spoon

Simple Method

  1. 1Mix your cornstarch slurry in a pot, adding stock and soy sauce to simmer into a thick, glossy glaze.
  2. 2Air-fry your veggies at the same time to save time, keeping an eye on the clock so they don't lose their crispness.
  3. 3Combine the warm veggie and hot sauce directly in a container, mixing thoroughly with pepper and your favorite spices.

Detailed Method

  1. 1Prepare your slurry directly inside a small cooking pot by mixing 1 tsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp of cold water until smooth.
  2. 2Pour the 50ml of vegetable stock and 1-2 tbsp of soy sauce into the pot with the slurry. Whisk continuously over medium heat until it bubbles and thickens into a glossy glaze baseline.
  3. 3Slice your cabbage, snow peas, baby corn, and shiitake mushrooms. If you prefer your carrots and capsicum raw and crunchy, set them aside; otherwise, slice them up to cook.
  4. 4Load the sliced cabbage, snow peas, mushrooms, baby corn, and your pre-cooked seitan chunks into the air fryer basket.
  5. 5Air-fry everything simultaneously on a medium heat setting to save time. Watch them carefully and do not over-fry—you want the veggies to stay bright and retain their essential crispiness and micronutrients.
  6. 6Ensure the cabbage is fully tenderized in the air fryer, as cooking it thoroughly is the key to unlocking its natural sugars, making the final dish much sweeter and more flavorful.
  7. 7Transfer your warm air-fried veggies, raw carrot/pepper accents (if keeping raw), and seitan directly into your storage or serving container.
  8. 8Pour the hot thick sauce glaze over the top. Toss everything thoroughly in the container so the warm components absorb the sauce, then finish with a heavy crack of black pepper and any extra spices you love.
  9. 9Transfer 1/3 of the sauce glaze into your meal container along with the batch-airfried seitan, then toss thoroughly and crown with a fresh handful of mixed sprouts.

Tips

  • Cooking the cabbage thoroughly is a natural flavor hack; its released sweetness completely rounds out the savory profile of the soy sauce.
  • If the sauce thickens too quickly in the pot before your air fryer finishes, pull it off the heat and stir in a splash of warm water to loosen it back up.

Storage

Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat rapidly in a dry pan.
