For chkn I shredded and baked some oyster mushrooms and baked some home-made seitan in a convection oven until it was poofy and crispy, which added a lot of flavor to the seitan (which I normally don’t love because it has that distinct flavor that is hard to mask).
This looks great! I never had this dish as a carnist but I make it now too because my partner craves it lol
yeah, I don’t think I ever made it before I became vegan either; funny how many foods are that way for me now
