  2. Heat your veg oil in a large, non-stick pan over a medium heat, add marinated Seitan and fry for 10 mins, stirring as you go until coloured. Set aside to cool.
  3. Add rice noodles to a bowl of boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Strain noodles and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  4. Make the salad dressing by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix Seitan, noodles and chopped veg in a bowl.
