Additional Notes & Tips

  • Swap vegan honey with pure maple syrup for a different sweet twist.
  • Don’t skip the lemon zest; it’s the zing that keeps you coming back.
  • If seitan intimidates you, use extra-firm tofu, but press it well first.
  • Leftovers reheat like a dream and make killer sandwiches.
  • Add chili flakes if you’re feeling spicy and savage.
