Introduction

Chinese canned gluten (mock chicken) is used in this recipe, but you can use any vegetarian chicken substitute you choose (or chicken, if you're a meateater); the nutritional data will change accordingly.
Fideo is vermicelli pasta that's cut in very short lengths, about one inch. If you can't find fideo in your grocery store, you can substitute vermicelli broken in short pieces.

Recipe makes 8+ cups and will serve 4 to 6.
I like to serve this with refried beans and tortillas. Chinese canned gluten (mock chicken) is used in this recipe, but you can use any vegetarian chicken substitute you choose (or chicken, if you're a meateater); the nutritional data will change accordingly.
