Preparation steps

1.

Drain the seitan and press out excess liquid. Cut into bite-size pieces. Cut the tofu into cubes. Alternately thread the tofu and seitan onto skewers. Rinse the  bok choy, shake dry and cut in half lengthwise. Rinse the chile, slit lengthwise, remove the seeds and white ribs and chop.

2.

In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil and sauté the chile briefly while stirring. Stir in the cumin, coriander and turmeric and deglaze with orange juice and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Season with salt.

3.

Cook the bok choy in a steamer set over a pan of simmering water until tender, 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining sesame oil in a pan and saute the bok choy over medium heat lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the ketjap manis.

4.

Arrange the bok choy on plates and drizzle with the coconut sauce. Arrange the skewers on plates and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve as desired with basmati rice.
