Companion - Braised Gluten Seitan Tidbits, 10 oz. Can (Pack of 12)

Very tasty meat-like veggie bits. Have purchased before. One negative was that they shipped the cans in a plastic bag which allowed the cans to get very beat up. I was afraid the insides would have been exposed but so far has been ok. The cans were beat up very badly - just about smashed! Need to ship in a box!

Can’t believe amazon carries this!Usually have to search in Chinatown or specialty Asian stores. This is something I love and I’m so happy to have found it here

This comes in a sauce that’s amazing. I also like to drain the sauce and toss these in cornstarch and sauté for a crispier taste then add the sauce back in with a bunch of vegetables. The curry flavor is also really good but I get sick of it quickly because it’s so strong.

Very tasty especially in like a stir fry type dish. Do not like the fat content.

At first the texture was strange to us!! I do so much with this now!! My vegans love it as do I!! I use the liquid in it and jazz it up!! Its awesome over rice

I had high hopes because of the good reviews… I thought people were just being picky when they said this was mushy or was like wet chicken skin—they were right. It has a texture of a mushy eggplant. Not only that, but this Companion Cha’i-Pow-Yu Braised Gluten comes pre-flavored with soybeans. So much so, you’d think this was meant for stir fry, which wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the overwhelming taste and saltiness.CAUTION: If you still wanted to buy this, then try buying just 1 can to see if you really like it

I've ordered these once before and found they had a good flavor and texture, but are overpriced for the size of the can. Nevertheless, I reordered them recently and they came in totally damaged. The seller packaged 6 loose cans in a paper envelope. There's no way they couldn't come in massively dented (which they were!). Of course, as a food item, they're not eligible for return. Amazon took care of the refund, however, but I am leery of ordering again because of the ridiculous manner that it was shipped.

Astound your friends and bewilder your enemies. And turn them into your friends. This stuff is great and so unique. Eat it in a stew. Balance a can of it on your head. Then eat it in a stew. Tasty. Protein-rich. Dare I say indispensable? I dare.
