Vietnamese BBQ mock duck w/peppers, onions and pineapple on a bed of rice noodles, fresh sprouts, lettuce, carrots and green onions. 
What did you have? what is "mock duck" is it like imitation crab? It's also known as "seitan". It's pressed wheat gluten. It's a veggie thing, quite different from tofu, it has an earthier taste and a meat-like texture. And is absolutely DIVINE when prepared right. |

This is sold at Wild Oats and other healthly foods stores as well. | |

Here's the wikipedia article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seitan It mentions it's only available at health food and Asian markets, but I get it at my regular grocery store. I suppose it depends on the area you're in. Use it in place of meat in any stir-fry/asian recipe or really anything you'd use pieces of meat in. I've used in burritos as well. And I make a FABULOUS salad with it. You can fry it quite crispy (which is what I LOVE about it) and the texture, as I said, is a lot meatier than tofu and other meat substitutes. It's high in protein also, of course. |

Just had a look at at the vegitarian resource group website http://www.vrg.org/recipes/vjseitan.htm I am gonna give it a try if I can find it, I am not veggie but occasionally cook eastern food that requires tofu (which I cannot abide) I think this would be a great substitute. No good for Coeliacs though Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

I ate half a packet of Cheddars for breakfast. I fell off the diet wagon a few weeks ago.

I went grocery shopping and made chicken chow mein! It was bombtacular! Carpenters bend wood, fletchers bend arrows, wise men fashion themselves.

supper always make me think of a late night meal, they call dinner here "tea" and the older generation would have it at 5pm or so, so a supper was needed later before bed. | |
