Use a nonstick skillet: This will help to prevent the seitan from sticking.
Cook the seitan over medium heat: This will help to prevent it from burning.
Add the sauce gradually: This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
Serve hot: Sweet and sour seitan is best served hot. You can garnish it with chopped green onions or cilantro.
