Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large, deep skillet or an enamel dutch oven. Stir in the chopped vegetables and onion and saute.
- While the vegetables start to cook, whisk together soy sauce, water, sriracha, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic.
- Once vegetables start to soften after about 7-8 minutes of cooking, stir in the sauce, cashews, and seitan “chicken”. Cook another 2-3 minutes until sauce has thickened and seitan “chicken” is hot.
