Into a medium sized sauce pan add your coconut oil and heat on medium for 30 seconds before adding the ginger and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Reduce heat to low and add your miso paste, vegetable stock paste and peanut butter. Stir, removing clumps and combining all ingredients. Now add your coconut aminos, chili sauce and lime. Cook on low heat for 3 minutes or until extremely fragrant. Add water and bring mixture to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes. Add green onions and cilantro before turning off heat and setting aside.
Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium for 30 seconds before adding the marinated seitan or tempeh. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. You want it crispy but still soft. Once cooked set aside.
