In large nonstick skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, and stir-fry until golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, and stir-fry 1 minute. Add mushrooms, and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until softened and juices are released, 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in seitan, peas and stir-fry sauce. Increase heat to medium-high, and stir-fry until mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Serve hot, passing additional stir-fry sauce separately.
