Hey, Burger Dude, I never saw anyone cook the TVP crumbles my way, try this out . Instead of hydrating it first, try to fry them in oil a little , and then add a little of the soy sauce, then add a liquid. It makes the TVP more chewy, closer to beef as I remember. Try to compare usual method with this, who knows, maybe you will like it. Anyways, like your videos, c ya ! ❤😊
I used to rehydrate my tvp then squeeze out as much liquid as I could using a cotton cloth before cooking. This also prevents it getting mushy. The I saw, I think it was Chef Jana, cooking her TVP straight from dried like you described and that is how I've done it since. The other thing I do is sieve out the TVP powder before using it. This also reduces mushiness.
@@damikey85 actually I can. And tofu absorbs whatever you put in it. So I didn't know cooking tofu was some Michelin Star type of cooking. Thanks for the insight. Wow I just learned something new that I feel made me 3 percent stupider
I'm curious if you've ever considered making a meatless ground turkey style protein. I never ate much beef and find it hard to replicate the flavor memory.
the texture might work for you but the protein would be nonexistent. Most people - especially vegans, which I'm one of - should eat more protein. TVP does a great job of this.
I really like that you included tempeh. I believe this is your first video using it. When you're using tvp is there usually a ratio for the tvp to water? I buy it at a coop sometimes, but its in bulk. Thank you again for another great video, and happy new year!
This is so great! I have a family history of Cancer and have learned recently that means I need to avoid the pesticides, IGF-1 and BLV meat and beef in particular--Thank you
I feel like the lentil/mushroom combo might be good for vegan newbies. I tried some fake meat that, for my current taste buds, was almost inedible due to flavor. Just wondering, does it have a strong mushroom flavor? I'm not a fan, lol.
Thanks for your many, many,....maaany recipes and ideas. For Color (and even taste) a tablespoon (or to taste) of cocoa powder works well. Also if you have a bit of cold coffee left over from the morning or so...
this is great. you have a really nice voice that inspires cooking confidence. imma make the tempeh one in tacos cause its been weeks since ive eaten anything fermented lol. My old job served black bean tempeh it was sooo good
My issue is all soy meat substitutes taste weird. The TVP has a heavy cardboard taste (tastes like cardboard smells) tempeh is bitter. Like all of them have a funky flavor that I cannot get out.
Unrelated question: I was just watching one of your shorts and now I'm watching this video. Why are the links on the short unclickable, but on the video they are? I can't even "copy and paste" the links in your short. 🤔
Thank you SO much for these recipes 🫶🏼. I’ve been transitioning to veganism for a year now and beef is one thing I wasn’t sure how to swap since I love the flavor. Thanks again!
Question: does it work without nooch and vegan worcestershire sauce because it's kinda expensive where I'm at. Miso I can get, those two is kinda hard. Then again I don't cook tempeh with those (I just marinate in spice blend and deep fry them)
Great options! I never liked red meat, so these are far superior for me! Now if someone could just come up with some affordable and convincing vegan seafood options, I would be ecstatic!
