Actually, I got the idea from a trip to my local Target, where they had MorningStar hamburger crumbles on sale. I decided to get some, since they are quite tastey. And then the idea for lion's head popped in my head (no pun intended), and I began to do some research. Just my luck, too, that I happened to have some leftover cabbage and bok choy that needed to be used up! Anyway, I ended up creating this recipe. The sauce for the bok choy and cabbage is from FatFreeVegan's Vegetarian Chicken with Simple Five Spice Sauce, since I didn't use that for dipping the chicken in. I actually have no clue what Lion's Head is supposed to taste like, but this salad sure fit the bill for M and I tonight!
