My partner and I have just found a local Chinese takeaway that serves mock duck/seitan on the veggie menu and I was really excited to try it. I phoned them up to make sure that it was an all vegan dish but no-one in the place could tell me whether or not it was. They said it was bought in but for some reason she couldn't/wouldn't check the packaging - I think we were both struggling to understand each other. My searches online so far are showing that mock duck is always vegan, never has egg added etc - am I just being paranoid? Would you safely assume that mock duck was vegan as well as vegetarian? Or shall I stick to the veggies with cashew nuts?!
If they serve vegetarian food, they shouldn't mind showing you the package that the food comes in. I would go there in person and ask - there has to be someone there that has greater fluency in English.
I have seen mock duck in an Asian market that had fish stock in it, so I'd get clarification somehow. (I am not sure if it was Korean or Chinese in origin, as this market has both kinds of goods.)
I never acquired a taste for mock duck. My daughter & Son in Law like it, though.
I'm stuck on tofu & veggies. :lick:
