Dried Soy Chunks

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Properly stored, they can last for a very long time.

Rehydrate soy chunks by soaking them in hot water or broth for about 10-15 minutes until softened.

Squeeze out excess liquid after rehydrating to prevent dishes from becoming watery.

Soy chunks readily absorb flavors, so season the soaking liquid generously with spices, herbs, or bouillon.

Use them as a ground meat substitute in chilis, tacos, pasta sauces, or stir-fries.

Spices: Cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder

Liquids for rehydration: Vegetable broth, mushroom broth, soy sauce, liquid smoke

Aromatics: Onion, garlic, ginger

Sauces: Tomato-based sauces, BBQ sauce, stir-fry sauces

Not rehydrating them sufficiently, leading to a tough or chewy texture.

Forgetting to season the soaking liquid, resulting in bland soy chunks.

Adding them directly to a dish without rehydrating, which can absorb too much moisture from the sauce.
