This recipe from Special Recipes has to be the best vegan dish I've tried to date. Not that I've tried many. We're just now starting to bring vegan recipes into our weekly menu. But this one is a must, even for non-vegan folks.
I was surprised at just how flavorful it was, and how crispy and truly yummy the Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n was. The husband and I had more than seconds. This dish was gone in one sitting. And it's already on the meal plan for next week.
Serves 3 to 4
3 tablespoons canola or safflower oil, divided
1 bag Gardein Crispy Mandarin Orange Chick’n
3 cups cooked rice (I used basmati)
1/4 cup white onion, chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons orange juice from a fresh orange
1/2 teaspoon orange zest (from the same orange)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons cashews (chopped if you wish)
In a large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat. Add the Gardein chick'n and cook according to package directions. Remove the chick'n and any extra sauce to a bowl and set aside.
In the same skillet, add remaining oil and heat through. Add the rice, onion, soy sauce, orange juice, orange zest, garlic powder, and cashews. Fry on medium high heat for a few minutes, stirring continuously.
Turn heat up to high and add in the reserved chick'n and sauce. Fold the chick'n gently into the rice and let heat through. Serve warm and enjoy.
