Mock Chicken

 

Makes 2 cups

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

 

" This is a great substitute for any recipe which calls for cooked, diced,

or chopped chicken meat. Freezing tofu gives it a meat-like texture. The

process is very easy, but you'll need to plan 72 hours ahead. "

 

Ingredients:

 

1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu

 

Directions:

 

1 Leave tofu in original package and place in freezer for 72 hours.

2 Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Place package of tofu in water and allow

to

thaw, approximately 10 minutes. When thawed, remove from package, place in

a piece of cheesecloth, and squeeze out liquid. Shred, dice, or slice tofu

and include in your favorite recipe.
