Ingredients

  • 1 cup TVP
  • 1 cup hot broth (or water)
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Boil broth (or hot water) then turn off heat and add the TVP.
  • Stir it well, then cover and let it sit for 5 minutes to soak up the flavor and rehydrate.
  • Use as you would "meat" crumbles in any recipe.

Notes

  • Use a 1:1 ratio of liquid to TVP to rehydrate it. 
  • Change the broth flavor to change the TVP flavor.
  • Add additional spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and more for a more flavorful TVP.  Add soy sauce or Bragg's liquid aminos for a more beef-like flavor.
