Method
Tear the seitan into 2cm pieces and cut the leeks into 3cm segments.
Thread the seitan and leek alternately onto skewers.
Preheat a griddle pan over high heat.
Combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake and caster sugar in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened, to make the tare sauce.
Grill the skewers for 4 minutes on each side, brushing generously with the tare sauce every time you turn them.
Brush with a final layer of tare and serve immediately.
