So I finally drove directly into a Chinese supermarket. I was quite upset when my last one pooped out and the next closest one was, alas, not close at all. Longness made short, lo and behold, one right next to a Walmart.
Inside this beautiful place were like 5 types of bok choy, a row (a whole freaking ROW) of dried mushrooms, and more types of soy sauce than I've ever seen before. Well again longness made short, I bought me a bit of vegetarian chicken. Ever since my vegetarianism, some 20 years ago, I've craved chicken like no tommorow (amongst other things).
Chicken Paprikash, I looked up a few recipes and this is what I did.
Some oil and butter, with some garlic and tomatoes until the tomatoes were saucelike.
Added onions, cooked until soft. sprinked some flour and then veggie broth to form sauce.
Added bell peppers, faux chickies (preshredded-all I could find, no juicy legs to bite into....).
Salt, paprika, black pepper, 'chicken' soup flavor salt, basil fresh and dried.
You're supposed to add sour cream too, but I tasted it and it was okay, maybe when I use big meaty chunks of frozen tofu with this recipe, I'll try sour cream. Mock chicken is a bit softer than real.
Well made a pack of wild rice to go with it and hopefully it will all be good! Oh and "garnish" with green scallions. "Garnish"=liberal dose.
