Notes

Aunty Judy's recipe tips:

Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 mins, then use a stick blender for a few seconds to create a smoother-textured Mock Chicken
You can also add a tablespoon of grated cheese to the ingredients (Nan Mac did this – maybe their generation had times a little better to add the cheese to recipe).

You can serve Mock Chicken as a meal with a side salad, as suggested in Nana Ling's recipe book, enjoy it with crackers, use it as a sandwich filling and more. Get creative! I'd love to hear other ways you serve Mock Chicken in the comments below.
