Sweet and Sour Mock Chicken

• 1 package of pre-made Crispy Plant-based Chicken (ready-to-cook)

• 1 pouch of Sweet and Sour sauce (gluten-free)

• 1 package of vegetables (onions, green and red peppers,  pineapples)

• Sauce: white vinegar, water, tomato ketchup, sugar, lemon, vegan Worcester sauce, hawthorn, plum and corn flour.

• Veggies: onions, green peppers, red peppers and pineapple.

• Standard soy-based Chicken (option 1): Tofu [Soybean, Stabilizer (E500)] (33%), Textured Soy Protein (Soy, Wheat), Water, Palm Oil, Isolated Soy Protein, Sugar, Salt, Thickener (E1420), Flavour Enhancer (Yeast Extract), Seasoning (Soy, Wheat), White Pepper Powder.

• Gluten-free soy-based chicken (option 2): soy bean protein (40%), water, modified potato starch, soy bean oil, sugar, salt, spice & seasoning.

• Standard soy-based chicken (option 1): Soy and Gluten.

• Gluten-free soy-based chicken (option 2): Soy.

• Air-fry the tofu: Place the crispy vegan chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook on "Maximum Crispy" (or 400°F/200°C) for 4 minutes.

• Sear the vegetables: Meanwhile, heat a wok on high heat with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the vegetables and sear on high for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until crisp-tender. Turn off the heat.

• Warm the sauce: Stir 2 tablespoons of water and the sauce into the wok with the vegetables. Let the residual heat warm the sauce, or apply gentle heat just until it begins to simmer, then remove from heat immediately.

• Toss and serve: Let the sauce cool slightly so it is no longer simmering. Toss in the air-fried crispy vegan chicken and mix well to coat.

Pro Tip: Never simmer the crispy vegan chicken in the sauce over active heat. Adding the crispy vegan chicken at the very end locks in that crave-worthy, super-crunchy texture!
