Now add the garlic, a good pinch of salt, and a couple cracks of black pepper and let cook for a further minute.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the tamari and apple cider vinegar, stirring until the seitan and vegetables are fully coated in the sauce. Simmer for 1-1½ minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
