Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Has anyone ever tried MDH Soyatein? I just bought a box in the middle eastern section of the market and I want to give it a try but I really am not sure what to do with it. It is described as Protein rich soya chunks. It is made from de-fatted soy flour....and that's all. You reconsititute with water and it sound kinda like what TVP chunks would be like. Any ideas???

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I haven't heard of that brand, but it sounds like other TVP chunks I've used. They need to be soaked in water for 10-15 minutes to get soft, unless you put them directly into something like soup. I soak them in water until they are soft; discard the water, let them soak longer in soy sauce or some other marinade sauce. The soy sauce BBQ marinade sauces like Dales with smoke flavor are perfect. It doesn't take too much to give them chunks flavor. You can also use powdered flavors or Vegemite/Sovex yeast extract to add flavor. Once the chunks are soft and flavored, you have several options; you can pan fry them as they are, or roll them in bread crumbs or corn meal before frying in a scant amount of oil. Sometimes I put spices in a ziplock bag and shake up the tvp chunks. I've done that with fajita spices, then grilled the chunks in a cast iron skillet with not much oil. They can go inside tacos or burritos, or as part of vegetable stir fry. They also go well with BBQ sauce. .... Be kind. Be of good cheer.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi Stef. i don't think i have ever seen MDH brand around here. i agree with Dick that it does sound like regular TVP chunks. Let us know what you do with it and if you like it. Is there a web-address on the box? ~ pt ~ How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age.Ê Thanksgiving opens the doors.Ê It changes a child's personality.Ê A child is resentful, negativeÑor thankful. Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people. ~ Sir John Templeton ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~> , steff davidson <steffdav46> wrote: > > Has anyone ever tried MDH Soyatein?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Thanks Dick, Gayle and PT for the replies on my soyatein question. I think that I will give the BBQ idea a try first. I LOVE anything BBQ flavored. Gayle, I never thought of making meatballs. That sounds good too. PT, there is no web addy on the box. I did GOOGLE it but didn't find anything worth a darn. I'll let you all know how it turns out. Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
