How to Prepare Meat Free Protein

Cooking instructions may vary depending on the type of meat alternatives being used. Here, we’re working with Quorn’s Meat Free Fillets, Meat Free Pieces, and the Meat Free Mince. Preparing these meat free proteins is incredibly easy with just a hot oiled pan, and an oil of your choice. Most Asian kitchens would have a regular vegetable oil and aromatic sesame oil, which scents your “meat” with a rich, nutty, finish. Though we recommend sesame oil for the minced pieces for a tastier chew, either one is fine. Straight from the freezer and into the pan - it's so simple! Don’t forget to toss and turn your meat free protein, so all sides are deliciously sizzled to a light brown.

1. Meat Free Butter Chicken

Swap chicken pieces with Quorn’s meatless “chicken” in this creamy meat free Indian classic. The key to this Meat Free Butter Chicken is in the yogurt-tomato bath that’s infused with ginger, garlic, deeply scented cumin, and warming garam masala. But first, fry up the meat free protein till it sizzles to a golden brown (or slightly brown if you want just a touch of crisp), then coat all over with the ghee-fragrant gravy.

2. Meat Free Bibimbap

This Meat Free Bibimbap features a super healthy Korean rice salad which is tossed with a meat free ingredient of Quorn mince. The rest is the same snappy delicious mix of sliced carrots, cucumber, juicy beansprouts and vinegary chewy rice that soaks up all the sweet-spicy Gochujang sauce. 

3. Meat Free Katsu Curry

Be sure to make a bed of warm Japanese rice for this fragrant, thick Japanese Meat Free Katsu Curry. You’ll need to first pat Quorn’s fillet pieces with breadcrumbs, bind them with eggs and into hot oil they go for the classic golden katsu crunch. Add sweetness to the curry with an apple and onion, and don’t forget the typical potato and carrots that make this Japan’s favourite stewy curry dish.

4. Meat Free Lor Bak

Lor Bak is a Chinese comfort food that warms both the belly and soul. This vegetarian version is packed with tasty quail eggs and nutritious tofu that soaks up the flavorful soy sauce. Even without meat, you can make this dish just as satisfying with Quorn’s meatless protein which you can easily prepare before cooking it in the sauce with the rest of the ingredients. A healthy meal perfect for any occasion.

5. Meat Free Kung Pao Pieces

These Meat Free Kung Pao Pieces are an excellent vegetarian alternative to a well-loved Chinese chicken dish with explosive flavors! The classic spice of a Kung Pao stir-fry are still buzzing in this dish with spicy Sichuan peppercorns, chilli and nuts. 

6. Meat Free Mee Pok

You can now go vegetarian with this Meat Free Mee Pok recipe! Here, the signature springy flat noodles is topped with Quorn’s meatless mince which is sautéed with two different kinds of mushrooms and tastefully seasoned with vegetable stock, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce as well as a pinch of sugar and pepper. Serve this flavorful combination with a healthy portion of choy sum for an all-round wholesome meal.

7. Meat Free Thai Red Curry

A hassle-free vegetarian curry that is full of flavor. While it is meat free, this Thai Red Curry is filled with juicy protein pieces from Quorn to satisfy your belly. Simply pan fry the meatless pieces before mixing it into the curry to simmer and soak up the fragrant spices and rich coconut milk. The addition of diced mangoes enhances the dish by balancing out the creaminess of the curry with its bright flavors. Best eaten with rice and a healthy serving of broccoli.

8. Meat Free Nasi Goreng

Nasi Goreng, also known as Fried Rice, is a quintessentially Asian dish. It’s endlessly versatile and many variations - all of them delicious - exist across the region. This Meat Free Nasi Goreng recipe offers a version which features protein pieces from Quorn as a meat substitute. Fried with fragrant spices and aromatics, the flavors come together for a familiar comforting taste of home. No Nasi Goreng is complete without eggs, so don’t forget to top it off with some omelette slices!
