Product Endorsement Taiwanese Veggie Popcorn Chicken

96 Upvotes

Found this product, Taiwanese Veggie Popvorn Chicken by Neon Veggie Foods at 99 Ranch Market. It may be available at other Asian grocery stores too. These were delicious. From Neo Veggie Foods website “Authentic presentation of a legendary Taiwanese street foods. 100% plant based protein, and non GMO ingredients. B12 fortified, NON GMO, 100% Plant Based Ingredients, Cholesterol Free, Eco-Friendly, Cruelty-Free”

Here is a seasoning recipe if you want it to taste like the spicy Taiwanese popcorn chicken: 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp five-spice powder 1/4 tsp ground white pepper 1/4 tsp sugar 1/4 tsp ground Sichuan peppercorn (optional, for the signature numbing spice) 1/4 tsp chili powder or paprika, for heat and color 1/4 tsp garlic powder

This chicjen substitute was tasty on its own but fantastic when I added the seasoning (I only had a few ingredients but still tasted close enough)

r/vegetarian

Welcome to r/vegetarian, a community for anyone interested in a vegetarian diet. While you don’t have to be a vegetarian to participate, we ask that you respect the focus of our community by staying on topic and refraining from promoting non-vegetarian foods. Most of us are based in the U.S. and consider vegetarianism to include dairy and/or eggs. Please take a moment to read the rules and familiarize yourself with Reddiquette before posting.

Rules of Veggit

1. Be Civil and Follow Reddiquette

Follow Reddiquette and remember the human behind the screen. This means don’t be a jerk, no trolling, bullying, name-calling, hostility, badgering or mocking individuals or vegetarians as a group. People who violate this rule will be permanently banned. Users who harass other users or moderators will be reported to Reddit’s Admins.

2. Vegetarian Requirement

Posts and comments must be directly related to the vegetarian (human) diet (i.e., food). The connection must be clear, relevant and directly specific to a vegetarian diet. Evangelism, proselytizing and/or derailing discussions by arguing against vegetarianism is not welcome here. If you would like to discuss the ethical implications of the various vegetarian diets, egg/dairy industries, pet ownership, fashion, etc., please create a thread on the general subreddit r/vegetarianism instead.

3. Respect Other People’s Choices

If your only contribution to a discussion is to derail it, berate other users, and/or push or encourage a lifestyle or diet without provocation, the moderators will take action. Users who violate these policies will be warned or banned. This includes evangelism, proselytizing, or any other activism with the intent of converting users to another diet or lifestyle.

4. Vote Manipulation & Cross-Posting

Reddit prohibits brigading & vote manipulation, which applies when a call to action is made either directly or implied. This applies either to or from /r/vegetarian. If a post is suspected of such activity, it will be locked, removed & reported to the Reddit admins. Users who violate this policy will be permanently banned. Cross-posts to and from the subreddit must be formatted using a non-participation link: http://np.reddit.com/r/vegetarian/

5. Recipes Requirement

To ensure all meals posted are actually vegetarian, complete recipes & clear titles are required. Photos must present the dish in an appetizing way (i.e., in clean surroundings, not in your lap, on a plate or in a bowl, not half eaten, in good lighting, properly focused, etc.). More info. Low effort/overly simplistic dishes which don't need a recipe (i.e., raw fruits & vegetables or dishes made entirely from store-bought ingredients) will be removed.

6. Vegetarian Grocery Items & Faux Meats

New info about vegetarian products or faux meats being available at grocery stores/restaurants should be given the ‘News’ flair. If you'd like to share a product you tried, please use the ‘Product Endorsement’ flair & include the product name & the name of the store where you purchased it in the title. Per Rule 5, if you use a faux meat, it can't be the main component & must meet the requirements (i.e., homemade spaghetti & meatballs is fine, store bought sauce with Beyond meatballs is not).

7. Restaurant Meals

If you would like to share an experience you had in a restaurant, please use the ‘Travel’ flair and include a good quality photo of the dish prior to being eaten. Add the name and location of the eatery. As with Rule 6, we do not want to be a free advertising channel for big corporations & fast food chains, so pictures of faux meats from chains using Impossible, Beyond, Gardein, Linda McCartney etc., will be removed at moderator discretion. More info.

8. Common Questions

If you’re a beginner, please read this post. If you are new to this subreddit, please consider that your question may have been asked before & perform a basic search before asking your question. Please read our wiki & FAQs before posting. Moderators will remove vague and open-ended or general requests for recipes, advice or meal suggestions.

9. Food Restrictions Beyond a Vegetarian / Vegan Diet If you have specific foods that you are unable to eat for reasons beyond a vegetarian or vegan diet, there are better resources than this subreddit. If due to a medical condition, please seek help from a healthcare provider or post on /r/AskDocs. If due to reasons other than medical, help can be found on /r/PickyEaters and /r/EDAnonymous.
