I love tvp so much! I prepare it by rehydrating it 1:2 with hot water or broth. Usually it’s 100g tvp with 200g hot water, then a scoop of better than bouillon to give it some flavor. I mix that in to my pasta sauce or cook it with some sautéed veggies for vegan taco night.
I’m pretty new to TVP, I prefer soy curls to be honest but these were on sale.
I thought these smelled strange, not bad really, just kind of toasty. I ended up rinsing it with water like rice and squeezing it in water, then dumping the water, filling again, squeezing again and dumping. I repeated this like 3 times until it rinsed clear and had no smell at all.
Once it was rinsed 1/2 cup tvp turned to 1.5 cups of hydrated plain tvp I put a pic of above. I then mixed soy sauce, smoked paprika, paprika, salt, pepper, sage, red chili flakes and diced vegetables.
Once I had this mix i sauteed it in my pan a while then added the shells and potatoes and covered with just enough water to cover and simmered until it was done and absorbed all the water hamburger helper style.

How do you usually prepare it?
