This curry is deceptive; because you can make them
(non-vegetarians) believe that it’s real meat. I always make this curry when
I’m entertaining non-vegetarian guests. Some of them think that I’ve prepared a
meat curry especially for them.
Mock chicken, lamb, chicken breasts, prawns and fish
are some of the popular fake meats available here in Southeast Asia. They are made with soya, mushroom stems and
other preservatives. Its texture is very much like meat.
It’s a very popular delicacy among Chinese served in restaurants.
Some Chinese practice vegetarianism on 1st and 15th of each
month of Chinese lunar calendar.
It’s not one of my favorite, as I’m used to being a
vegetarian for 18+ years and even when I was non-vegetarian I only liked sea
food and didn’t really enjoy meat. But my DH loves mock meat. But I only cook
them during special occasions. It’s not advisable to consume mock meat
regularly as they are highly processed.
