Recipe 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 you 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.
