The Best Way To Prepare Vegan Meat (TVP)

[@simplytrinabean]

I use to avoid tvp and I just tried this method and omg it was soooo good thank you no soy taste at all

[@FloridaSalon]

I've watched this video many times. I always come back to it. Thank you!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Thank you! So screen out the dust, rinse several times like rice, squeeze as much liquid out of it as possible. Then flavor with mostly dry ingredients. Sauté in oil. Got it! Now to watch the burger video…

[@Rin-bi1st]

Glad I caught this. I'm going to a pot luck and this just helped me not waste time, food, or effort. Thanks.

[@edimar838]

WOW, Thank you so much for sharing. I thought I would never get this right. It went from tasting like cheap dog food to something that I wouldn't mind eating everyday.

[@videoettaceo8900]

Lol that's what I got with my first tvp chili.

[@seattlejayde]

This was very informative. Thank you!

[@jazzyx8968]

4:38 a potato ricer works really well at this step if it has fine holes on it that don't let the TVP through when you press.

[@nathangali]

"You have to really be a strong ethical vegan to eat this taste and share it," I LOLd, what a line

[@freeman8128]

Use of the word 'ethical' illustrates the fact that veganism is a cult rather than a simple dietary choice.

[@maalikserebryakov]

[@tryptamigo]

great tip, thanks. i'm new to cooking with TVP and a little bit of prep went a long way. i found myself using a lime squeezer to squeeze the TVP in the final round of squeezing. it sounds tedious but i only had to do it 6-8 times for 130g of dry TVP.

[@mar-linaustell7505]

I really appreciate the detailed tutorial. I'm new to TVP and am intimidated by it.

[@rn-healthcoachemi51]

You are 100% correct. That's the way I make it.

[@maryellen1952]

I followed the instructions & rinsed the soya product 3 times thoroughly. Then I added enough chili guajillo sauce to coat the soya then added onions & garlic & sazon then fried for 5 minutes. I used the filling for burritos & the flavor was much better. I am in Mexico so use the same inexpensive 22 peso product. There was much less after taste of the soya so a big improvement. I will do the same with the chicken soya product. Thanks,.

[@147andreluiz]

I used to hydrate on the spicy water. Water + vinager or wine and other spices. It tasted alright. Will try your idea next time. Thanks (y)

[@TheLarizmar]

I’m excited to see what you will be making next

[@Nozarks1]

Thanks for the tips. Frying it really helped. Marinating and adding to sauce without frying made the strange flavor come back.

[@edprotas4148]

Great information! I am somewhat new to using TVP, and you suggestions and methods have given me a real leg up on how to use it. As the cost of ground beef becomes obscene, TVP is a reasonable alternative - vegan/vegeterian or not.

[@KnievelXD]

correct way starts at 2:50

[@Opaso]

Wow! 2 videos on your channel and both are great! I enjoyed it and learned something.

[@mar-linaustell7505]

I'm glad that I watched your video before making it. The others did it the way you said not to. Thanks!

[@WhiteNorthStar1]

This is so delicious, thank U. I'd really like your burger recipe

[@WhiteNorthStar1]

Oh I found it with your lentil video 😊

[@rafaelcastro2591]

Ufff que pasada de video! Lo que voy a tratar de hacer es un mole de soya a ver que tal queda! Un saludo!

[@Blueskies1180]

You can use a vegan chicken broth or bouillon cube to infuse the chicken flavour if you want.

[@Sailorsweetpeach]

Best tip! Thank you. I made this tonight and added soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef bouillon, garlic powder, comino, onion powder and pepper and cooked it in a pan. It tastes like meat. :)

[@EasyXploits]

What is the point of making fake meat if you add beef boullon?

[@zeyadismail1724]

@@EasyXploits Cost.

[@zeyadismail1724]

@@EasyXploits TVP has 90% of the protein in beef with only half the cost.

[@EasyXploits]

If it's cost, sure. Usually TVP is eaten for ethical or health reasons though, which adding beef bouillon would defeat the purpose. Also- if you're eating TVP for the cost, you're ignoring the fact that beef is far more nutritious. It's more than just protein. When you're replacing TVP in place of beef, you have to find a way to replace all of the micronutrients in beef too, like adding more vegetables to your dish. Which... costs money

[@zeyadismail1724]

@@EasyXploits I am not replacing beef , I just buy however much I can afford of beef (Which is not enough) And then I supplement it with TVP so I can get enough protein for building muscles at the gym.

[@cherylwin9364]

THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THE HORRID TASTE OF PLAIN OLD TVP AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. NOW I’M GOING TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY 😇👍🏾

[@donh7654]

A better way is to use a nut bag or white washcloth add your tvp then tie off the ends so you can squeeze out the water in between each rinse.

[@djc6323]

Ok so I did wash my tvp the way you do. My mistake is that right now it is sitting in a bowl of marmite broth. You said it will bring out the tvp flavor again and I think you are slightly correct. Its just that marmite is so strong a flavor you can’t really tell. I will try another batch and dry season after washing and see. Thanks for the tip! A little new info goes a long way😀

[@fridaa.l.2191]

Hey, wich one was your best way of cooking it? I'm getting stressed because i never really like the flavour

[@markkian8551]

​@@fridaa.l.2191have you found the best way? What do you mean the 'flavor', does the flavor stick even after doing the process shown in the video?

[@Nozarks1]

Maybe some powdered or crumble a cube of vegan soup instead of marmite.

[@cloutfisher7714]

I’m excited to try this with TVP. Does preparing it this way remove any of its nutrients?

[@TheLarizmar]

Thank you so much for showing us what not to do and how to get rid of that soy taste I will try this the next time I use my TVP I’m going to try to make tacos gracias amigo

[@GuajoloteGonzales]

Gracias por el consejo, la próxima la prepararé así. ¡Saludos desde la Ciudad de México!

[@TKevinBlanc]

I apply the same technique to soy curls too. Rinse and squeeze until the starch is gone.

[@eaudegaurav]

Soya chunks is super popular in India and almost a staple, you can find many recipes which includes soya chunks and are quite delicious. I'd recommend you try some out.

[@cactuscosyusa]

Useful tips, thank you.

[@rozchristopherson648]

[@sharoncrommer2999]

I only eat pea protein, would it apply for that too? As its dried and just looks like same, I've recently bought but haven't tried yet.

[@sineli1970]

Best so far,I soaked it longer,but now I ll do it ths way

[@dansaikyo6664]

Could I use this to make picadillo the normal way, or would I need to make the carne de soya like you did, put it aside, make a beefless picadillo, then add the soy at the end?

[@mariaeduardarsetti712]

doctorrrrrr where are you???? I just found this video and went to your channel to binge watching all of it but there isn't any other! please come back!!!!!!

[@LincolnR8]

Great vídeo men! Hugs from Brazil!

[@JoakimVesterlund]

This looks like a lot of work. What i do is that i just make a good tasting soup, then i add a lot more of seasoning to it, and then i boil the chunks in that soup for like 20 minutes, i squeeze it against the wall of the pot a bit, just to make sure they are soaked enough. Then i use it in a frying pan like any other meat-like substance.

[@danielfox3399]

Ingredients: TVP 2 Lemons Garlic powder Soy sauce Lemon pepper Instructions: Strain TVP several times until water comes out clean Add all ingredients Optionally, let it rest for a while in the fridge Cook in frying pan with oil or butter

[@warriorgoddesscrystalgeome6337]

I need to TVP and thank you for the hot tip 😊

[@TheGreatOldOak]

So much effort.

[@MrYarabandi]

Thank you so much man! It soaks up so much oil during the frying. Do you have a solution for it?

[@DoctorChef1]

Nonstick pans and less oil I guess. I really dont put much attention to it since its hard for me to get enough calories as it is on a vegan diet

[@elietedarce1266]

@@DoctorChef1 The problem is that traditIonal TVP is usually 50% protein (made with defated soy). But there is 70% TVP which is made with soy protein concentrated, and it have not the soluble sugars that make traditional TVP bitter. If such 70% TVP was available for consumers people would use a lot more, since it would be easier (no wash required) and without bitter taste.

[@BUrania-v5k]

hey! can you freeze this? and if so, would it be best frozen neutral or after sautée?

[@chumuchannel]

yes ive tried it

[@The_W3st_Is_The_B3st]

Don’t we lose important nutrients with the yellow water?

[@123LPSOLDIER]

So the “correct” way to prepare TVP actually is to drain it…? But but just to drain it multiple times?

[@Nozarks1]

Make sure you squeeze out the water several times. The bad taste squeezes out with the water. Plus that weird foamy stuff also goes

[@WhiteNorthStar1]

I made this, it's DELICIOUS!!! :)

[@TheGrungy1]

I just add it to the dishes. My favorite is chili Or tacos. But I like the taste of tvp.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I can’t find a tvp burger recipe either, only lentil.

[@greenricee]

Shanks for the info. The tvp I use is smaller tho so the squeezing and draining process is gonna be annoying. Gonna try this later tonight

[@AnotherUTubeAccount]

If you have a potato ricer, it should work great for this. I usena ricer for squeezing our cooked spinach

[@Paskasauruss]

Try a cheesecloth?

[@greenricee]

na i threw up from it once lol and got trauma and have not had it in 1 year @@Paskasauruss

[@L83467]

same. and it makes sieving out the dust really difficult because you lose like half of the product!

[@lynneb.3935]

For chicken flavor, use nutritional yeast instead of the soy sauce - or just add a dash of soy sauce.

[@haiugander1469]

Won't the protein go out if you squeeze it

[@gutsbadguy50]

No just water I think. Normal tofu is usually pressed to remove water and doesn't lose any protein.

[@TylerCrompton]

I can't be the only one wondering how much of the nutrients are being washed away with this method.

[@pusakuching]

highly doubt it has nutrients to start with. It's just filler. Nutrients would be added vegetables or the side.

[@lynneb.3935]

Right way to prepare starts at 2:56.

[@chelsea911]

I don't know why you think TVP has a bad taste. It's yum, I just dump it in dry to my soups/broths/casseroles and cook till its re-hydrated. No need for all that, it tastes like soy lol soy doesn't taste bad.

[@Haggan514]

2:50 is where the correct way to prepare and cook the tvp.

[@xMithras]

Where is the next video with the meatballs etc?

[@danperlman7194]

Clarification: Bob's Redmill TVP is very cheap near me in the US :)

[@arthorim]

Soy curls taste more like soy milk or tofu Sadly it looks like shredded chicken and has very short shelf life because it has all the oil of the soy beans.

[@maryellen1952]

Good instructions but wish less talking about problems. Video could be shorter for those who don't want to listen to the first 5 minutes. Thanks!

[@SuperFoodParents]

😮 Rehydration is wasting too much time. Just throw the TVP in the dish with seasonings 🫕 No rehydration first- that's seasoning with water which is why it tastes like air. I've used TVP for years

[@pisiata3651]

i m a vegan for 10 years. i do it exactly the wrong ways and guess what? it tastes delicious! Amazingly! In all the food i ve tried it is super, in all the wrong ways possible! :nerner. I watched the video cuz i thought i ll learn something fabulous, but nope, nothing! I beg yr pardon!

[@fairwearth690]

I agree! I've been a vegan for 17 years and don't taste anything weird. I save time by boiling with chick'un or beefless vegan broth or marinades. Same works for TPP and Butler's soy curls.

[@marysplatemarychristineser161]

Not vegan but i tried eating it during retreat and the wrong ways was the instructions they gave me, it was delicious. This video is HORRIBLE 😅

[@Maaargo192]

I thought this video was awesome. Clearly explained exactly how to prepare and marinate tvp. Looking forward to watching the next video, of how to cook with it.

[@71volare]

This is a terrible tutorial. This guy is clueless. Add beef broth powder, Worstershire sauce and liquid smoke to soaking water. Beet powder or juice will give it a red ground beef appearance. Dried mushroom powder and nutritional yeast also contribute to the flavor. How do I know? I am a professional chef.

[@tomvasseur2256]

Worcestershire sauce is not vegetarian though and I guess beef broth powder would not be either in most cases? So that wouldn't really work if you want to be a strict vegetarian.

[@emmoohoo]

You can get vegan worchershire sauce and "beef" broth

[@freeman8128]

"Vegan meat" is an oxymoron. If meat is so bad why are vegans always trying to replicate the appearence, taste and texture of meat? Are there not enough satisfying plant-based recepies? If meat is what you want, be aware that there is no substitute for the real thing.

[@Paskasauruss]

Many people are vegan for ethical and environmental reasons, not because they think meat tastes bad.

[@freeman8128]

@@Paskasauruss It was not the taste but the questionable "ethical" and "environmental" reasons to which I was referring. Indeed, nature has a reason why meat tases good to all humans everywhere.

​@@freeman8128it's for people who were non-vegan transitioning to vegan, I suppose. But the whole idea of it is to just make the transitioning process a lot more bearable. If one sticks to veganism he/she will eventually ditch out the meat and it's alternatives. To each their own. Blessings.
