When we lived in Lyon between 2014 and 2017, there weren't many vegan options for eating out! Among the few scattered options, there was this bagel at Best Bagel, with delicious fake chicken (the first one I ever ate) and barbecue sauce. Honestly, it hit the spot! The other day, I had a craving for it, so I made my tofu-chicken that I always make, but this time I pan-fried it—it's quicker than baking. And I whipped up my quick barbecue sauce using store-bought ketchup!
