Instructions

Rehydrate
  1. To rehydrate, pour boiling water or broth over TVP®. Stir and let stand for 5–10 minutes.
Microwave
  1. Place in a microwave-safe bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and cook on high for 5–6 minutes; check after 2 minutes and add a little more liquid if needed. You can prepare a double batch, enough for two or three recipes, and the cooked TVP® will keep in the refrigerator for several days. Or freeze some to thaw later in the microwave or refrigerator.
