Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth or water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the TVP, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper together until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a small pot, heat the vegetable broth or water over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Stir in the soy sauce or tamari.
Step 3
Pour the hot liquid mixture over the TVP and let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the TVP to rehydrate and absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Once rehydrated, fluff the TVP with a fork to separate the crumbles.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook for about 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the TVP is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately or use in recipes such as tacos, pasta sauces, or soups.
