    Never tried the Gardein stuff, if you want to try something else I swear by the Butler Soy Curls. My absolute favorite vegan meat substitute (not considering tofu and tempeh), it’s just dried whole soybeans with a really nice, chewy texture. Rehydrate in veggie stock and chefs-kiss. You can buy them in 12 pound bulk since you work in a kitchen. Link

    Love your vegan slop posts btw

        They probably are basically dried edamame: “Soy curls are made by boiling and dehydrating whole, non-GMO soybeans, which creates a texture similar to chicken. They are then processed into fibrous strands and packaged for use as a meat alternative.” Whatever they do to them the texture is incredible - I use them whenever something calls for chunks or strips e.g. stews and curries but they’ve very flexible.

        Pictures on this website give you a good idea of what they’re like? Ignore the recipe Link

          yeah i’m really confused why it looks like shredded strips of chicken but yeah that could be cool, i was going to say they might be too expensive but I think 12Ib of those are cheaper than the 10Ib cases of the beyond beef crumble that we buy (i don’t buy or pay for shit I just get to call myself chef and shower myself with praise)
