Instructions
Make the broth
Add boiling water, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, paprika, salt, chili powder, and cayenne to a mixing bowl.
Make the "meat"
Pour the dry TVP into the broth, give it a stir, and let it soak up the liquid for about 5 minutes.
Put some oil in the bottom of a skillet and pour in the soaked TVP along with any extra broth that has not yet soaked in.
Fry the soyrizo on medium heat for about 5 minutes until it is heated through and any excess broth has evaporated.
Serve as you would soyrizo in any of your favorite recipes.
Notes
Reduce or increase cayenne to adjust the level of spiciness.
Use Bragg's or Tamari if you need it to be gluten-free.
You can also use Butler soy crumbles or any other dehydrated soy product instead of TVP.
To make with Tofu instead:
Press the tofu and get out all excess liquid and then crumble into small pieces.
Make the broth as you would for the TVP, but reduce the water to only use 1/4 cup instead of the 3/4 cup.
Soak the tofu in the broth for about 15 minutes and then fry for about 5-7 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and it starts to brown slightly.
