Easy Vegetarian "Hot Wings" with Seitan

Gather the ingredients. Emily Hawkes for The Spruce First, prepare your seitan by chopping or tearing it into chunks a little bit bigger than bite sized (about 2 inches). You can also slice your seitan into thin slabs or "finger" shapes, if you prefer, but I like chunks. Emily Hawkes for The Spruce Next, heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the seitan until lightly browned on all sides, stirring frequently (about 5 to 10 minutes). Emily Hawkes for The Spruce Next, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the hot sauce, maple syrup, lime juice and salt stirring to combine well. Emily Hawkes for The Spruce Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce and seitan to simmer for about another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring to coat the chunks of seitan well with the sauce. Emily Hawkes for The Spruce Remove from heat and serve immediately with a traditional blue cheese dressing, or, if you need a vegan idea, try serving them with a homemade vegan ranch dressing.
