Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ medium onion, thinly sliced and separated into strips
  • 1 Italian long hot pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 (8 ounce or 226 gram) package seitan, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 torpedo sandwich rolls, sliced open
  • Vegan cheese sauce, as needed (try my nacho sweet potato cheese, cauliflower cheese, or cashew queso)
  • Ketchup (optional)

Instructions

  • Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with oil and place it over medium-high heat. Add the onion and hot pepper.
  • Sauté everything until the onions and peppers are slightly softened and browned in spots, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook it with the onions and peppers for about 1 minute, until very fragrant.
  • Add the seitan, paprika, and soy sauce. Continue to sauté until the seitan begins to crisp in spots, about 3 more minutes. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent burning.
  • Divide the seitan mixture between sandwich rolls. Top with vegan cheese sauce, and ketchup if desired.
  • Serve.
