Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, and black pepper.
2. Add the seitan cubes to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the seitan cubes onto the bamboo skewers.
5. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are lightly charred and heated through.
