Using a wok is a very energy- efficient method of cooking. This is very tasty, so make double if you are serving a hungry family.
Serves 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp of the sesame oil, 2 tbsp of the soy sauce, the rice vinegar, agave syrup, vegetable broth, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer and simmer until the mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the remaining 2 tbsp sesame oil and 2 tbsp soy sauce over medium- high heat. Add the seitan and stir- fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, bell pepper, asparagus, shiitakes, and broccoli and stir- fry another 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp- tender.
Add the sauce to the stir- fry, stir well, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the broccoli is softened. Serve over soba noodles if you like.
