Mock chicken is a plant-based meat substitute designed to replicate the texture and flavor of chicken. Commonly used in Asian and vegetarian cuisines, its origins trace back to Buddhist vegetarian practices. The main ingredients typically include wheat gluten (seitan), soy protein, or a combination of both, shaped and flavored with spices, seasonings, and sometimes vegetable broth. Nutritionally, mock chicken is often high in protein and low in cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy alternative to meat for those conscious of saturated fat intake. Many versions are fortified with vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B12. However, some varieties may contain added sodium or preservatives, so moderation is recommended. Mock chicken is versatile and widely used in stir-fries, curries, wraps, and salads, offering a flavorful and cruelty-free option for anyone seeking sustainable and plant-forward meals.
