A 9.25-ounce frozen package, these soy-based morsels come coated in a mandarin orange sauce that’s sweet, lightly spicy, and citrusy. The pieces are meant to stand in for breaded chicken, with a chewy, crisp-edged texture once heated. Trader Joe’s positions it as the vegan counterpart to its Mandarin Orange Chicken, and it uses the same basic flavor play: battered bites plus glossy orange glaze. It’s kosher and vegan, and it goes from freezer to skillet, oven, or microwave, depending on how much browning you want.
