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
When frying it up on the skillet what you’re looking to do is dry it out a bit by cooking off the water otherwise the texture will be closer to egg. If the pan isn’t large enough then cook in smaller batches.
Like with any new dish, there’s a bit of a learning curve but the tofu tacos are now so easy that on any given day I can have a decent meal in 30ish minutes with lots of leftovers
