2. Is it seitan? TVP? Or what?

I don't even know what this substance is, but it is delicious. :D

3. Seitan
They also have a General Tso's tofu, but I prefer the General Tso's tofu at the regular Chinese restaurant here.

4. Seitan, almost certainly.
Mock chicken that doesn't suck is almost always either seitan or a seitan-soy blend.

6. Neat, I've been wondering about that
(A local chain, Vegan Plate, has excellent Tom Kuk Kai, and I've marvelled at the texture of the faux chicken.)

7. I dunno...

8. I hear that stuff is pretty good, but it's not vegan so I've never had it.
They use egg whites as a binder.

9. It definitely doesn't suck

Do you cook seitan much at home? I am curious to try now...
