I love faux chicken. Well actually, I love real chicken more because it is delicious, but I choose now to eat the next closest thing - faux chicken.
My favorite naughty treat right now is buffalo popcorn chicken. It is this spicy, sticky, crunchy treat that goes great with rice and pickled Japanese veggies. Or you can just eat it by itself for a snack. I like this amazing stuff called Greenfarm Popcorn Soya Chicken. You can get it from the Vegetarian Market on James St, next to Sri Melaka restaurant (another of my favorites).
Ingredients:
4 pieces of popcorn chicken (still frozen is OK)
1 tsp peanut oil
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
1 tbsp ABC Chili Sauce
Salt and pepper
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan on a low flame. Place the chicken in the oil and swish around to coat. Pop the lid on the pan and walk away for about two to three minutes. Come back and check the chicken. It should be crispy and brown on one side. Turn it, pop the lid on and walk away for another two to three minutes.
Now your chicken should be brown all over, so sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and add the sauces to the pan. Toss your chicken through the sauce until it is evenly coated. Fry for a little longer, maybe 30 seconds so the sauce dries out and starts to caramelise.
Pop it out of the pan and onto some rice. I've served mine tonight with twisted brown rice. It's basically brown rice cooked in vegan chicken stock with some silken tofu and spring onions tossed in. Yum! Serve with pickled Japanese vegetables (recipe to come) or some crispy steamed veg.
