Hey Steemers! I've had a major hankering for Chinese food since my all you can eat Vegan buffet the other day so I decided to try and create my own take away at home!
When looking at a Chinese take away menu, it is a little disheartening to see just how few vegan options are available, so it's a massive relief to realise that with all the inventive meat substitutes that keep being created, we can make our favourites at home!
Now I realise that this is a little bit of a cheat meal... meaning I didn't make much of it and a lot of it relies on ready made items but the point of this post is not to share some culinary wizardry- it is to show you how easy it is to make things that you never thought possible using readily available ingredients and some 'accidentally vegan' pre-made products.
What You'll Need:
- 1 pack vegan 'mock duck'- I used Linda McCartney's Shredded Hoisin Duck but there are other good brands on the market
- 1 pack 'Chicken' pieces- I used Quorn but again lots of brands now make these
- Small bag of mixed stir fry veggies
- 2 inch chunk of cucumber
- 3 spring onions
- Small tortilla wraps
- Rice noodles
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 sachet satay sauce
- 1 small bottle of hoisin sauce
Optional sides:
- Veggie spring rolls
- Vegan Oriental crackers.
Method:
- Thinly slice your cucumber and spring onions.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in 2 large pans, then add the 'duck' to one and the 'chicken' to another. Cook on a medium heat for a few minutes.
- Add the hoisin sauce to the 'duck'.
- Add the satay sauce to the 'chicken'.
- Heat well, stirring occasionally.
- Add the stir fry and a couple tablespoons of soy sauce to the chicken, heat for a couple more minutes.
- Heat the wraps in the microwave and prepare the rice noodles according to the packet instructions.
- Spoon the duck into the wraps with spring onion and cucumber. Serve the chicken satay on the rice noodles with a side ramekin of soy sauce for dipping the spring rolls.
It's that easy!
SO much better than a takeaway and takes literally minutes to prepare! Perfect for a lazy weekend at home on the couch with a good movie 馃槉
