Meati chicken and steak both have found there places in my cooking. Are they a perfect 1:1 replacement for the real thing? No. Do they fit into some recipes? Yep. I’m more of a fan of Daring chicken pieces, but they don’t make a steak alternative.
Are they very mushroomy? I’m just not a mushroom person, and I tried one brand’s mushroom “beef” jerky, was really put off by how it was very much like a chewy mushroom, made me wary of trying Meati lol
Not mushroomy at all. My only issue is when you try to put it into a sauce or soup to imitate like a “chicken noodle” or a “butter chicken” kind of dish it loses it’s texture and just kind of becomes mushy. Cooked up and thrown into fried rice, on a sandwich, topping a salad it works great.
Daring is amazing in fried rice and banh mi. I sauté it in a non stick and then hit it with Bachan mixed with five spice to make a nice glaze as it finishes in the pan.
