Mock duck


 * This article is about the vegetarian dish. For the New York gang leader, see Mock Duck.

Mock duck, like seitan, is a gluten-based vegetarian food. It is generally made from wheat gluten and is thus high in protein. Its distinctive flavor and artificial "plucked duck" texture distinguish it from other forms of commercially available seitan. Mock duck can be found in some Chinese grocery stores or retail outlets providing international selections of food. Similar products may be labelled as "Mock Abalone" or "Cha'i Pow Yu".
