Source of recipe: I first tasted this at a wedding many years ago. It was prepared by the bride's brother and he gave me the recipe. A true family favorite.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I live in utah so hopefully that's around, I've never had real duck (lifer here) but I used to love mock everything at this chinois place back home. I read that mock duck is just seitan marinated in soy sauce and msg but I'll look for it. I had no idea you can get it in cans. I do have this pgobia of eating something I didn't make myself though so maybe this will help me get over it
isn't mock duck just seitan? If not then what is it and would seitan work
Yes it would - but the canned mock duck is marinated and kind of looks like duck. This pleases all at the table, veggie or not. I found it at a couple of other vegetarian grocery stores just recently.
I would try it with the canned product then see if you can duplicate the seasonings of it. I just don't mess with perfection.
