Textured Soy Protein In Meatless Entrees
Textured Soy Protein may be hydrated and flavored with soup bases, bouillon,
juices, sauces, soups, and spice mixes to be used as taco filling, pizza
topping, rice stir-in, and much more. Be sure not to completely hydrate the
Textured Soy Protein before adding it to other ingredients so that it will
still be able to absorb the other flavors. Usually, allowing the Textured
Soy Protein only as much water as it will absorb in 2-3 minutes works well.
Then drain and add to other ingredients.
Use Textured Soy Protein dry if you are adding it to other ingredients that
have plenty of liquid. Textured Soy Protein will readily assume the flavors
of juices and sauces as it fully hydrates.
Season some Textured Soy Protein or grits and use as crumble topping on
casseroles or fruit.
