Try our Air Fryer Seitan Satay! A protein-rich vegan delight paired with a spicy cashew dipping sauce for a flavorful, nutritious meal.
Ingredients
- • seitan: 1 pound, cut into strips
- • coconut milk: 1/2 cup
- • soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • curry powder: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1/2 teaspoon
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • cashew butter: 1/2 cup
- • sriracha sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
- • water: 1/4 cup
- • fresh cilantro: 2 tablespoons, chopped, for garnish
- • lime wedges: for serving
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, curry powder, ground coriander, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
- 3 Add the seitan strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 4 Once marinated, arrange the seitan strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- 5 While the seitan is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together cashew butter, sriracha sauce, grated ginger, and water until smooth and creamy.
- 6 Transfer the air-fried seitan satay to a serving platter, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges and the spicy cashew dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Air Fryer Seitan Satay pairs wonderfully with a fresh cucumber salad, adding a refreshing crunch to the dish. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it alongside a bowl of steamed jasmine rice or quinoa, which will soak up the flavorful dipping sauce beautifully. For a beverage pairing, a cool glass of iced green tea or a light, citrus-infused sparkling water enhances the flavors of this vibrant dish while keeping the meal light and refreshing.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover seitan satay in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes to restore its crispiness. The spicy cashew dipping sauce can be stored separately in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir well before each use.
