Directions:
Place oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper; cook until vegetables start to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add seitan and cook for 2 minutes more. Add pineapple and 1/2 cup of its juice, soy sauce and vinegar; stir to combine and cook 2 minutes more.
Mix arrowroot with 2 tablespoons of water in a cup; stir to combine and add to skillet. Increase heat to high so mixture boils; cook until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. Garnish with scallion and serve. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
