Vegan copycat Green mock chicken (Seitan) Kung Pao/Thai Peanut Rice Bowl

Tonight I was craving Green (big surprise). I actually met clients/friends there tonight, but didn't eat there. I was determined to create a copycat recipe to the Kung Pao and Thai Peanut rice bowls. I bought some fresh vegetables and ginger for my creation. I LOVE ginger. LOVE. I loaded up this recipe with tons of ginger. I thought it turned out exactly like Green's dishes.
