Making CHICKEN from SOY SKIN

I recently came across a recipe for Cha Lua Chay which is a vegetarian Vietnamese ham, but after some thought I felt like it had a closer resemblance to chicken. With a few tweaks to the flavor I feel like we have a deli style Chick un Roll that can be sliced, chunked, or even breaded and fried!
