Substitute for Soy Protein

[Guest guest]

Our Whole Foods sells vegan crab cakes in the deli that obviously are to die

for! My husband, who I believe is on the verge of becoming a vegan, will buy

one of these crab cakes for $4+. I really hate to fuss about him buying these

cakes because I can see he is trying to make positive changes in his diet.

Therefore, I would like to try to make these crab cakes using the ingredients

listed on the package. However, the very first ingredient is mock chicken

nuggets, which is a soy protein. I'm not for using meat analogs and was

wondering if anyone could suggest a substitute that might have the same texture

as these nuggets, which I've never tasted. Thanks!

That is a really tough one. Have you tried the " fish " sticks from vegan lunchbox

(the recipe in on the blog)? I sometimes make " not crab cakes " with zucchini,

but texture will be compeltely different.
