Vegetarian Mozzarella Asian Lentil Rice Stir-fry Salad

Mock Duck And Mushroom Rice and Lentil Dish

This is a great nutritious dish for switching up and playing with for a vegetarian who is experimenting, does not have gluten allergies, or if you are on a tight budget! Although this recipe does contain cheese it would also be a savory meal without for a vegan as well.

I gave you some great ideas for adding better array of things to the recipe depending on your taste and budget.

You can find Mock Duck at your local Asian market for a decent price, or order it online as well. They also have a selection of other mock meats depending on your personal preference.

I have been eating this exact brand of Mock Duck since I was a kid, even before I became a pescatarian. If you do not have gluten allergies this is a great way to make a delicious and healthy stir fry on a budget. I recommend eating it with more veggies and with chopsticks but I was too hungry and lacking some ingredients I personally did not this time.

Finding this meat for this meal took me on an adventure and I never thought I was gonna find it, almost said $&!? it, but when I did not give up, and my companion didn’t either I was again thrilled for the chance to cook it. We did not give up together, after I went in out of several different markets I finally found it when I least expected that I would have.

I decided cooking it with a twist missing ingredients I usually make it with before I chose to choose this recipe after how the results turned out. It was an amazing experiment for a vegetarian dish and I was surprised by how good it tasted when I was finished because I did not add everything I usually do cooking on a budget. Here is the process, play with it and find what works best for you.

I have made many dishes with these ingredients/suggestions and they have always turned out fantastic and savory for every bite.
