Apricot Glazed Mock Duck

 You can find vegetarian mock duck canned at your local Asian market. I love cooking in my crock pot, but this could easily be done in a Wok or large saute pan in a much reduced time-frame. If you use a slow-cooker, you’ll need a 6 quart crock pot due to the bulk of the cabbage when you add it. I made this for Christmas dinner as a main course for me and a side dish for Mark, who happily ate steak along-side the mock duck. 

Ingredients  

• 3 Tbs Olive oil
• 2 Tbs chopped garlic
• 1 Tbs soy sauce
• Chili paste or peppers to taste
• 1/4 c silvered almonds
• 1 small onion, sliced thin
• 2 c fresh green beans
• 1 Roma tomato, diced
• 1 c sliced mushrooms
• 1 can vegetarian mock duck, drained and broken into bite-size pieces
• 1 celery stock, sliced thin
• 1 cup shredded carrots

• Sauce
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 c rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 c white wine
  • 3 Tbs apricot preserves
  • 1/4…

Many people have pasts of family members passing down their silverware set to grandchildren who are marrying and transitioning into their first dwelling. Other folks have traditions of giving costly, formal silverware during occurances such as weddings, anniversaries and unique times such as graduation.
