Crispy Peking Oumph!

This exciting new Vegan food Product, Oumph! Really lends itself to this kind of recipe. Like Tofu it is made with soya, and also like tofu it is highly absorbent, there for it will suck up whatever marinade you put on it. You can stir fry it or bake it in the oven. I like to chop it into smaller pieces so it goes crispy in the edges and chewy in the middle.It makes converting some of your favourite recipes to 100% plant based easy peasy.
