These will never be a good chicken replacement bec
These will never be a good chicken replacement because the texture is too soft and the have a fishy taste. So I mostly buy them to make a fishless pie with nori, capers and a, tapioca starch thickened, nooch sauce, topped with mash. Absolutely awesome. I actually do still use them for chicken based dishes too, if you boil them directly in the sauce, it takes some of the fishy edge off them, but not totally, so need a bit of adjusting too. My kids love my chick n secret curry, I blitz up 3 tins of tesco ratatouille, a tin of chickpeas and a tetrapak of value passatta. I then mix in chinese curry paste when cooking (my go to is tasty foods brand). They have no idea im sneaking veggies into their meal and they lap it up! Sometimes I add creamed coconut too to make it like a korma! Might be a little softer in texture, but still give enough bite!
Don't mistake these for regular Quorn pieces.
I love regular Quorn pieces but god these are just awful, even when mixed with a good sauce the bad fish flavour comes through. I don't like wasting food but I can't feed these to anyone.

NEUTRAL taste is ready for curry powder. Steamed "
NEUTRAL taste is ready for curry powder. Steamed "Quorn" pieces for 40 minutes, together with frozen green peas and frozen mushrooms, for a high protein break fast. Add butter?
Versatile and easy to cook with
I notice hardly any difference from the non vegan quorn, aside from shape. Super easy to just add to dishes as a substitute for diced chicken to add texture and protein. Only complaints would be that I wished it would come in bigger sizes to reduce waste, and it is slightly expensive for the amount you get.
Tasty and versatile vegan chicken bits
Super handy and tasty for pies, curries, noodle soups etc. Important to keep stocking the vegan ones
Makes a delicious curry
Delicious with Patak's Korma curry paste. I think the secret is to cook lightly for a few minutes in fry-light (not oil), add to the Korma (prepared as per instructions, with a generous amount of fresh ginger), and cook on low for 15 minutes.
Vile
Vile ..... horrible fishy sour taste and horrible texture ..... the quorn pieces are amazing but not the vegan version ..... complete let down
Not dreadful, but supermarket vegan alternatives a
Not dreadful, but supermarket vegan alternatives are stronger. I used to swear by quorn before being vegan, but these pieces break up into tiny pieces very easily after prolonged cooking (curry, chilli etc) but work for quick cook pasta dishes. In a saturated market, I feel quorn can't compete as the alternatives are better AND cheaper.
Stick to the regular version
I love Quorn pieces and have been using them for many years. However, the vegan version is horrible! It tastes sour. I would not recommend this product.
