How does Impossible Beef compare to traditional beef?
Impossible Beef Made From Plants has a very similar taste and texture to traditional ground beef. It's rich and flavourful and cooks in very much the same way. In fact, when I shared this dish with my husband Greg, he didn't realize this was not traditional beef until I told him so. He was surprised by how close the look, taste, and texture was.
Where can I find Impossible Beef?
Impossible Beef is available in many major supermarkets and big box stores in the U.S and Canada as well as through online retailers. Conveniently, their website has a really handy locator feature that will help you find out where the product is available in your area.
What is gochujang? And what if I can't find it?
Gochujang is a traditional Korean red chili paste that has lots of flavour and just a touch of heat. It's the perfect addition to this dish and can be found in the International aisle of most supermarkets. However, if you can't find gochuchang, you can also swap in sriracha instead or skip it entirely if your family doesn't enjoy the heat. Most importantly, you'll still end up with a very flavourful dish.
Can I make this in advance?
One of my favourite parts about this recipe is how well it holds up in the refrigerator. I love to make a big batch as part of my Sunday meal prep and then enjoy it for lunch throughout the week. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
