Review of Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick’n - Gardein by kyu

This really hit the spot! I actually picked up a couple of Gardein #mockmeat products months ago, on the heels of @rosieb33 and @acastillon’s thoughtful recommendations; somehow, they were shoved to the back of the freezer and forgotten — but no longer! On this cold and hungry evening, I excavated a bag and tossed the chick’n on the stovetop with broccoli florets and tricolored bell pepper strips, serving it all over a bed of brown rice — delicious! The nuggets were a bit softer than expected but tasted fine, especially enveloped in the gingery citrus sauce. Though it seemed a bit thin at first, I found that the sauce reduced nicely over heat; for me, half the packet was sufficient to coat all the pieces (and plenty sweet!) It’s a decent value: bulked up with rice and vegetables, it was enough for dinner, plus leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch — which I am already looking forward to devouring.
