Meat alternatives brand This has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of a new marinaded plant-based chicken product, designed for stir-fries. Made from a pea and soya bean base, This isn't Chicken Dark Soy & Garlic pieces contains 21g of protein per 100g and is a source of iron and vitamin B12. According to This, the meat alternative is also low in fat and salt. Mimicking chicken in taste, texture and appearance, the brand’s latest plant-based offering can be enjoyed in wraps and salads, and rice and noodle dishes, as well as in stir-fries. “This isn't Chicken Dark Soy & Garlic pieces can be used in a number of ways but is aimed pretty squarely at stir-fry lovers,” said This co-founder, Andy Shovel. “Generally, the flavour of stir-fries comes from sauces, marinades and herbs whilst the protein is usually just the nutritional workhorse of the dish. “We’re trying to put a stop to that with our new marinaded plant-based chicken pieces by adding a rich dark soy sauce and garlicky note to Asian-inspired dishes up and down the country, especially as more people are likely to be cooking at home.” The new product is available, for an RRP of £3.65, from Waitrose. Earlier this year, This exceeded its funding target in a Seedrs campaign, as it aimed to accelerate growth and innovation.
