This sounds so flavorful - would I find vegetarian mock smoked duck at an Asian grocer, or a health store? I'm not familiar with that, but would love to try it - thank you! Vietnamese food is one of my fave cuisines...

Try an Asian grocery store. They often have a whole fake meat section next to frozen fish in particular and frozen meat in general. You could also press (to drain) and freeze tofu for this recipe. Once it's thawed out, it's much more porous and lighter.

Yumm!!!! This looks like a great dish to make for dinner! I'm gonna try this very soon. I would make it with bread, maybe sourdough or pita.
