    Huh, you fry the dry TVP? Do you then let it simmer in the sauce for as long as one would normally boil it?

    I have some steak-like TVP here, which is going to remain dry in the core, unless you really give it its time, so not sure how well it would work with that.

    I do also have (pre-)roasted TVP, though, where I assumed, they do that when extruding or something. Maybe they actually throw it into a big pan before shipping… 🤔

      I add plenty of oil in the pan and some onions, then add the dry TVP, mix well, add all the spices, let fry until it looks “right” and then I add water/veggie broth or canned tomatoes, depending on what I do. This works with small or smaller texture or “mince-type” or so.

      With big, steak-like pieces I do soak them in hot water for like 5 minutes before frying, but never boil.
