Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups seitan or firm tofu cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
For the Vegetables
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 small zucchini sliced
  • 1 red onion quartered
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
For the Glaze
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic

Method
 

  1. Prepare the “Pork”: Toss seitan or tofu with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, mustard, soy sauce, and garlic. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Alternate “pork” cubes and vegetables on skewers—think red, yellow, green for that gorgeous rainbow look.
  4. Preheat and Cook: Heat a grill pan or oven to medium-high. Brush each skewer with the glaze.
  5. Grill to Perfection: Cook 5–7 minutes per side until golden, caramelized, and sizzling. Brush more glaze halfway through.
  6. Serve Hot: Plate your skewers with extra glaze drizzled on top. Add lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
  7. Optional Extra: Sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped herbs for restaurant-level presentation.
