Black Pepper Seitan Stir-Fry Noodles

Ingredients

• 6 oz lo mein or udon noodles
• 9 oz seitan
• 2.5 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1.5 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
• 1.5 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

1. Cook the noodles per package directions, drain, and toss with a few drops of oil so they don't stick. Whisk the soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, maple syrup, black pepper and cornstarch with 3 tbsp water into a sauce.
2. Slice the seitan into thin strips, the onion into wedges and the bell pepper into squares; mince the garlic.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over high until nearly smoking. Sear the seitan 3-4 minutes until browned at the edges, then add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and stir-fry 3 minutes until crisp-tender and charred in spots.
4. Pour in the sauce and let it bubble 30 seconds until it thickens and turns glossy. Add the noodles and toss with tongs for 1-2 minutes until every strand is coated and glistening with black pepper.
5. Serve immediately, while the noodles are hot and the pepper is fragrant.
