This dish is a great source of protein and a perfect substitute for chicken. Serve with mashed potatoes or brown rice.

Wheat protein strips are made out of wheat gluten (protein part of the wheat grain), chick pea flour and soy flour… You can buy them in any good health food store and they come pre-cooked in soy sauce. To make them more palatable you really need to add more flavorings and hopefully the above recipe will provide some ideas. The wheat protein strips are a great substitute for meat for vegetarians or for those who want to cut down on meat consumption. They are a great source of protein and low in fat.
