- ⅔ cup unsweetened milk
- 1 ⅓ tbsp sriracha
- 2 ½ tbsp all-purpose flour

- ⅔ cup vegan kimchi
Steps
- In a small saucepan add the vinegar, water, agave, mustard seeds, and salt. Bring to a boil then add the red onion and stir to coat.
- After 1 minute, turn off the heat and let the onions sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until fully cooled.
- In a small saucepan add the gochujang, agave, vinegar and orange juice. Heat over medium, stirring constantly for a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl add the mayo, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a bowl, combine ½ cup of the flour with gochugaru and sesame seeds. In another bowl whisk the milk, sriracha, and remaining flour until smooth.
- Coat each piece of seitan in the flour mixture, then dip into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately return each piece to the flour mixture for a second coating.
- Lightly spray the seitan with oil and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook at 200°C for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the buns cut side down on the dry pan and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Spread sriracha mayo on the top and bottom buns. Place arugula on the bottom buns.
- Warm the prepared sauce in the same pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, then add the seitan and coat evenly to glaze.
- Place the sauced seitan over the arugula. Top with kimchi and pickled onions.
