Soya mince is a great alternative to minced meat and is a high source of protein. Onced prepared, soya mince has a similar texture to cooked mince meat.
This mince is good value and goes a long way, as it expands when water is added so ultimately makes up more than the 250g stated on the pack.
How to Cook Soya Mince
Use soya mince in place of real mince. Reconstitute by soaking in water for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Soya mince requires seasoning, so that it absorbs flavour when cooked together with other ingredients. We recommend seasoning with garam masala, soy sauce, tomato puree and garlic.
Soya Mince, also know as Textured Vegetable Protein, are made from soya flour. Dry they have 50% protein and when rehydrated (e.g cooked) in a ratio of 1:2 protein content is 16%, same as meat (from whatever will fly, run, slither and swim away from you and has a mother and a father and eyes..). It will make very nice Sauce Bolognese to go on pasta. See if you can fool the non vegetarian - s/he'll think it's meaty!!
