Soy Burger-Style Crumbles

Store dry crumbles in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Once rehydrated, store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Rehydrate crumbles in hot vegetable broth or water for about 5-10 minutes before cooking for added flavor.

Drain any excess liquid after rehydrating to prevent a watery final dish.

Brown the rehydrated crumbles with onions, garlic, and your favorite seasonings to build a flavor base.

For burgers, mix rehydrated crumbles with binders like breadcrumbs or oats and seasonings before forming patties.

Taco seasoning

Chili powder

Cumin

Onions and garlic

Tomato sauce

Vegetable broth

Worcestershire sauce (vegan)

Not rehydrating the crumbles sufficiently, leading to a dry or chewy texture.

Using plain water for rehydrating instead of broth or seasoned water, resulting in bland flavor.

Overcooking the crumbles after rehydration, which can make them mushy.
