Beyond Meat Chicken-Free Strips

I've talked before about how i like to try vegetarian and vegan foods to see how close they come to what they claim to be like, or just to see if they taste good, kind of a way to see if i'd miss meat if i went meatless. I had been seeing this and a "beef" crumble in my Ibotta app for a long time but too forever to find them, had never thought to look in the frozen section until i just happened upon them. Haven't tried the crumble yet but i tried this one. I wasn't impressed with it.

To me, this was a bit of a lie. It didn't taste much like chicken and didn't really shred like it either. But For those who are use to these type of it's not that bad, i'd say worth trying if you haven't.

Here's the nutrition facts in case people were curious.

So being frozen, here's how it looked straight from the bag. Not really yummy looking. It also didn't help that the directions was so vague to that if someone doesn't know how to cook, they would be so clueless. I went with the directions, which basically just says heat until cooked. No temp to cook at, no offer of some sort of oil to keep it from sticking and burning, not even a simple 'spray the pan'. Having no idea on what temp and such, i actually ended up burning some of the smaller pieces and took it off the heat and turned out that some of them was still cold. There was microwave directions, should of just done that instead. I did pan because i usually prefer food cooked stovetop or oven.

I decided to put teriyaki sauce over it and have it over some noodles.....i was able to eat some of the 'chicken' but couldn't finish it. Wasn't that good to me, the rice was good though lol.

doesn't look very good, but that is this salad dressing we get from Joy Teriyaki that is on the sweet side. I was able to eat this just fine, but that dressing is just AMAZING! Even if it looks like something children shouldn't look at.

Over all, i won't be buying this again. I'll stick with my chicken.
