Vegan Teriyaki Chick’n Strips Stir-Fry

by Alli

I’ve been trying to add a few meatless meals to my weekly menu rotation.  Not only does it save money, but it’s good for us, too!

I have to get real creative to get my husband to eat a meal that doesn’t include meat.  When I was grocery shopping a few days ago I spotted Gardein products in the freezer aisle.  I was a little hesitant, but I bit the bullet and purchased the Teriyaki Chick’n Strips and the Meatless Meatballs.

After returning home, I visited the Gardein (garden + protein) website and found some interesting facts. Gardein’s award-winning products are made from non-GMO soy and wheat, ancient grains and veggies. Gluten-free options are also available. Gardein also provides the taste, texture and nutrition of meat with less fat, less calories and no cholesterol.  Sounds good to me!

I decided to make a quick Vegan Teriyaki Chick’n Strip Stir-Fry and was pleasantly surprised when I realized a packet of teriyaki sauce was included with the chick’n strips.
