The textured soybeans It is a food rich in vegetable protein that It is often used as a substitute for meat. It has been part of my diet for 5 years and I love it, I use it to make my own recipes 2 or 3 days a week.
It is obtained from the remains of soybeans after they have been pressed to obtain soybean oil. Even if you are on an omnivorous diet, I recommend incorporating it into your diet and taking advantage of its properties. It is advisable to limit the intake in case of hypothyroidism or breast cancer, once it has developed; On the contrary, soy reduces the risk of cancer or at most has a neutral effect†
Textured soybeans have no flavor and are sold dehydrated, so we need to flavor it with other ingredients and hydrate it in a liquid before starting our recipe. If you are going to make Bolognese sauce, you can hydrate it while cooking.
To hydrate it we have to put it in a bowl with twice as much water at least 15 minutes before cooking† Keep in mind that when hydrated it swells a lot, almost three times its size. It is ideal to use the vegetable stock to flavor it. Once it’s hydrated, we pass it through a fine mesh strainer and let it drain for a few minutes to remove excess liquid and we’ll have it ready to make any recipe.
Textured soy burgers, textured soy meatballs, textured soy fillets, sautéed soy with vegetables, and textured soy bolognese sauce for legumes and grains.
Personally, I recommend chickpea flour, with which we can also make potato tortillas. With chickpea flour we can make solid masses of textured soybeans in the form of hamburgers, meatballs or steaks. You can also add legumes, seitan, tofu and vegetables to this solid mass. There are many possibilities, awaken your creativity by cooking!
