Vegan Teriyaki Mock Chicken Tacos
We have a soft spot for tacos and love to experiment with them. Besides classics such as fish tacos (vegan, of course!), tostadas or taquitos, we also serve Korean tacos, ramen tacos, chanterelles tacos or even chocolate tacos. You can find all our taco recipes here.
I had this can of mock duck from our Asian food store waiting for me for quite some months now. And then I came across this Buzzfeed video of a Teriyaki Chicken Taco and I just thought: Bingo! The funny thing is that you could eat the taco filling just as a main dish. But if you have the chance to put it in a taco, you should always do it! So here it is: Our simple vegan version of a Teriyaki Chicken Taco.
