soy chunks

Meatless protein pieces

Soy chunks are pieces of textured vegetable protein made from defatted soy flour, used as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan cooking.

They come dried and expand when rehydrated, taking on a chewy, meat-like texture.

Also called soya chunks, meal maker, or textured soy protein: Add the soy chunks to the curry and simmer until they absorb the sauce.
