They do, this is fake

There isn't evidence to support the idea that trans women perform better at sports than cis women anyway, but even if there was, this girl may not have even gone through testosterone based puberty to begin with since she's only in high school. She won through hard work and training. Good for her.

It's not too much, imo. Pretty standard amount of ingredients for a typical recipe. But every kitchen is different and if this is too much for you, that's okay. You could probably skip a few ingredients here like dried thyme.

Hope you like it! I love this recipe and have made it multiple times. It's so good with some sourdough toast!

It's a type of TVP from a manufacturer called Butler Foods. It's a very popular meat replacement for vegans. They have a similar texture to chicken so you typically rehydrate them in vegan chicken broth to prepare them for cooking. They're very good, but you could absolutely use a different type of TVP too. Soy curls aren't the cheapest TVP you can get.

That's why I get serranos instead

I'll be honest, the last couple times I've made this I just used canned and it came out fine and did well at a food gathering I brought it to. Canned works fine

I believe it's used to describe cooking the mushroom cap whole as opposed to strips or slices.

Oh oops! I have a bunch of ad blockers so I didn't realize. Here's the direct link to the printer version. Hopefully that helps? https://www.blissfulbasil.com/wprm_print/28371

Thanks! I'm glad it's appreciated! :)

Tbh this recipe would probably taste better if you deep fried it at the end instead of air frying it. But it probably tastes good enough with an air fryer and air fryers are way, way easier to deal with than any kind of deep fryer, so you may find it worth it for that reason. Air fryers are basically like table top ovens that are faster to heat up since they're smaller, so as long as you think of them that way and not as fryers, then you're good. You can probably do this recipe in a regular oven with an adjustment to the cooking time too.
