Taiwan's Vegefarm Meat Substitute Would Be Better Than India's Nutrela's Meat Substitute For Indian Vegetarian Dishes IMHO

NNA Business News

Sure, Nutrela's soy chunks are better used over Meat Magic. However, knowing that Nutrela's soy chunks are most likely Chinese-inspired (and some Indian restaurants use it for vegetable meat masala) - I think it'd be better to go for Vegefarm products. Granted, Taiwan has a huge Buddhist population (though said religion actually comes from India) - it's only normal that the demand for meat substitutes can go high due to that! Then again, even for other reasons, vegetarian restaurants can gain a following even among meat eaters like myself. It's because while I do love to eat meat - there are just days that my body craves more vegetables than usual even when I don't have constipation. While Nutrela has its own charm - I think Vegefarm actually tastes better IMHO.

Soy chunks do have a meaty taste but Vegefarm has been more innovative. You can think of the various ways Vegefarm has introduced more types of products. Sure, soy chunks can be used in a number of ways while Vegefarm offers that variety. They have mock chicken, mock fish, mock pork, mock beef, and many others that would actually fit well with Indian cooking. For instance, making vegetarian versions of chicken dishes (which chicken as meat is a staple in Indian cooking) using Vegefarm would be a better choice IMHO over trying to figure out how to make Nutrela taste similar to it. 

What would be a good start in using Vegefarm for Indian vegetarian dishes? Well, whether you're going sattvic vegetarian or non-sattvic - you might want to try using Vegefarm's mock chicken such as the mock chicken nuggets or mock chicken karaage. For me, my favorite way of preparing it would be to mix mock chicken with plenty of vegetables such as okra, cauliflower (though I prefer broccoli), carrots, potatoes, and string beans to name a few. It can be a bummer when some Indian restaurants sell vegetable meat biryani without mixing it with the green and leafy. Fortunately, some of them like Little India in Quezon City (which also opened in Cebu City a few years back) may have barbecue vegetarian meat (fortunately not using Meat Magic) which would go well with the vegetable fried rice or vegetable biryani.
