I make a ton of vegan chicken, steak, and jerky nearly every week and use it in all my recipes. You can make a ton at once, and obvi it's much cheaper than flesh / secretion-based products.

After getting really good at them, and swapping out milk for oat milk, I've pretty much had to change nothing about what I want to make / eat.

I didn't get good at cooking till I cut wayyy back on meat. Now I make tons on Asian and Indian dishes, sooo spicy and tasty. I do eat a lot of chickpeas, but bocca crumbles are pretty good as well. Morningstar makes nice vegan chicken as well.

Thanks! Got any recipes or tips for making vegan chicken, steak, and jerky?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure!

VSteak
VChicken (I don't use jackfruit tho, and just use the same weight of tofu as the base)

For vjerky, I just make a double batch of the steak, but after it's done cooking, instead of marinating it, I cut them into thin strips, put it in a dehydrator (you can also just use an oven), then put them into plastic bags with some olive oil and different spices, or just pepper. There are good youtube vids that are all pretty close to that.

How can you have vegan Chicken, it's literally a bird. Steak and Jerky sure but chicken,

I don't follow. But vegan chefs are wizards that can recreate any taste / texture.
