And by “Mock duck/chicken” are we talking seitan?
In fact…no! Although they have similar ingredients there are definitely differences, not the least of which is texture. I believe mock duck is essentially seitan that has been cooked and effectively seasoned in the can.

You can specifically buy mock duck in every Asian store I’ve been to in Burlington quite easily.
Wow! Good to know *all* of that! Thanks, Chip!
The mock duck was my go to order. Any help would be great. Thanks for sharing the recipes Chip. We’ve made quite a few and I have shared them with some of my friends who all loved 5 Spice as well. We all appreciate your efforts!
