    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.
