Korean fried seitan burger with gochujang and pickled slaw
Korean 15 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan over a medium heat. Slice the seitan widthways into 2cm thick slices and fry them in the hot oil, turning occasionally until evenly golden and crispy. This should take approx. 5-7 minutes. Place the seitan on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, 2 tsp rice vinegar, soy sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic and ginger. Add a tablespoon of water to loosen the sauce, if needed.
- Once the seitan has cooled slightly, toss it in the gochujang glaze ensuring each piece is well-coated. Set aside for 10 minutes so the seitan absorbs the glaze.
- Julienne the carrot and radish, finely slice the cabbage and spring onion. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the carrot, radish, red cabbage and spring onion. Add 2 tbsp rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and salt. Toss well and let the slaw sit for at least 15 minutes to pickle.
- Slice the burger buns in half and spread vegan mayonnaise on both halves. Add a spoonful of pickled slaw and several pieces of the seitan on top. Top with coriander and place the bun lids on to serve.
