Dip the pieces of seitan in soy sauce.

Put the seitan on tin foil and sprinkle with fresh ground pepper.

I cook it in the toaster oven on two medium toast cycles, flipping between toast cycles.

If you don't have a toaster oven, heat the regular oven to 400F cooke for 10 minutes, flip the seitan and cook for 5 more minutes. Set aside.


Mix It All Up
