Ingredients:
- 1 cup seitan, sliced
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until you have a smooth sauce.
- Add the coconut milk to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. This will create a creamy consistency that coats the seitan beautifully.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the sliced seitan. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly and develop flavor.
- Pour the peanut sauce over the seitan in the skillet, stirring to coat the pieces evenly. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and the flavors meld.
- Once the seitan is heated through and fully coated in the sauce, remove it from the heat. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts and green onions for an extra crunch and freshness. Enjoy!
