Nice!

There's lots of things you can do to TVP to modify the flavor and texture. My go-to for anything like that is to marinade it in the flavors I want, coat with a little starch, and deep fry. This will lock in the flavors you marinated it in, ensure it's actually cooked through, and give the exterior a little more texture so that it doesn't disintegrate in the dish.

This works for a huge range of things. Vegan carne asada tacos, vegan mongolian beef, vegan chicken tikka

Kashmiri mirch powder will give it a nice red colour instead of brown.

Can't really give flavour suggestions without knowing existing ingredients

Also are they soya chunks rather than minced TVP? I usually go minced for chilli but the chunks look chunky mmmm

You forgot to add the banana

I make TVP "meat" balls.

1 cup TVP, rehydrated per instructions. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (mix these two ingredients together first)

1 TBSP tomato sauce or ketchup 1 egg or vegan equivalent 1 TBSP oil season to taste (I like garlic and dry basil for style.

mmmmmh im making chili this week. never made it before!

Hell yeah brother

Can make tvp tacos al pastor that are pretty close

I would take an immersion blender and blend a bit of it up but that's just my opinion on texture and mouthfeel i'm not a chef just a cook

Homie did you get the carne de soya stuff that I saw on reddit a few weeks ago too? Saw it posted on the vegan sub and was like "that price is pretty sweet." Can't complain about 12 lb of protein for $40.

Chili?

I love vegan chilli, I make it all the time! Do you soak the tvp in something beforehand? My go to is vegetablestock + miso + soy sauce + cumin

Can you tell me what spices you're using and how much of them?
