I’ve been trying out Textured Vegetable Protein in these “burrito bowls” I do (literally just rice + beans + protein and some seasoning/sauce) and I don’t think it’s for me. Sawdusty vibes tbh.
Out of the three other meat alternatives I put in the title what would you recommend? I’m leaning towards tofu because it’s somewhat familiar but the whole “pressing” situation seems annoying
TVP is great to add protein to something already flavorful. My favorite use of it is in a chili. I wouldn’t use it as the main star of a dish. Tofu needs good prep/seasoning. Seitan is tastier than tempeh IMO but both are great.
