Easy Korean BBQ Seitan Filling

1 package pre-made seitan

2 tablespoons olive oil

3-5 tablespoons smoked chili sauce or Korean gochujang

1. Roughly chop the seitan. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over a medium-high flame. Sear the seitan for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned. Add the chili sauce and continue to sauté for about another 2 minutes until the seitan has absorbed most of the sauce.
