And while we\u2019re on the subject of vegetarian meat (isn\u2019t that an oxymoron?), I\u2019ve concluded that Suniupai Vegetarian Beefsteak has even more possibilities for incorporating into a dish than the skewers from the previous post<\/a>; I can easily see how these could figure into a stir fry. (For the record, I\u2019m not necessarily looking for a meat substitute, just experimenting.)<\/p>\n

\nLike the skewers, this \u201cDried Beancurd Chunk\u201d is available in several flavors; I chose the one labeled \u201cCumin\u201d and it was surprisingly delicious. I also tried the \u201cSpicy\u201d version and it lived up to its descriptor perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe bag contains nine foil packets (about 3" x 4"), each of which encloses a single slab (about 2" x 1¼") of pressed wannabeef with similar shredding capabilities as the skewers; they possess an unmistakably (unmisteakably?) meat-like texture, although perhaps with just a bit of processed meat chew \u2013 a little too much bounce, but I\u2019m quibbling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nActually, just biting into a chunk wholesale definitely misses the mark and I don’t recommend it, but shredding brings out its formidable potential. I see a Home Cookin\u2019 post in the future.<\/p>\n

More from the snack aisle coming up \u2013 next time: sweets!
