I’ve been trying out Textured Vegetable Protein in these “burrito bowls” I do (literally just rice + beans + protein and some seasoning/sauce) and I don’t think it’s for me. Sawdusty vibes tbh.

Out of the three other meat alternatives I put in the title what would you recommend? I’m leaning towards tofu because it’s somewhat familiar but the whole “pressing” situation seems annoying

    Hmmm… it’s hard to know how much seasoning that would be. If you have a liquid that you’re putting with TVP, I’d put all your seasonings in that as the flavour will get absorbed through the TVP rather than just sitting on the outermost part.

    As a rule of thumb, the broth or liquid should taste too strong as a broth. Like borderline unpleasant without it tasting like you’re eating broth powder straight. That can apply to taco seasoning mixed into water or other spices or a combo of things.
