As a vegetarian, I rely on these a lot. I just soak them in hot water, squeeze out the water and put them as toppings in whatever I eat, especially soups like chilli and salads. You can also marinade them for a bit in salt, paprika and light toast them.0

I am guessing you are Indian. Just google for soy chunk recipes, there's a ton on the Internet. There's curries and biryanis and what not that have these as the main ingredient :-)0

Breakfast cereal!
----> Soak your portion overnight (water, milk,whatever)
Next morning I add more liquid and gently heat it on the stove. It's like a superhigh protein porridge! Topp with whatever you desire :-)0 -
I cant wait to try these recipes out !! making my mouth water already! never thought of it as a cereal though!
Wilkyway - what other things have you come up with soya chunks?0 -
I'm still experimenting! Next week i'm planning to make a high protein vegan chili! I'll post the recipe on my blog...or might even on here! I really need to figure out how to post pics -.- Do u NEED a photobucket account to do so? I need a really simple step by step manual haha...
I've also thought of making ''meat''balls! Or any kind of patty...
Will deffo have to try soaking em in marinade...0 -
are they quite filling? because a 100g doesn't seem like alot even though its 388 cals!
Ive sent you a private message by the way!
Marinate them in chilli mmm, great for snacks & toppings which i never thought of!
Just found a website with quick easy recipes with Soya Chunks!

They gain volume, once you soak em. so yeeeeeesss they are really filling, thats why like 30-40g dry is enough (for me)!0

Interesting topic. I just looked at their macros, waw, high in protein. I'd eventually take 150 grams of those, with vegies, sounds great. Try to fry some mushrooms, and red pepper.
Also for a post workoutt meals, sounds to be the perfect one.
Lets us know how you dealt with them0 -
Soya chunks has a lot of estrogen, unless you want moobs (male boobs) do not over eat. I am vegetarian myself and keep looking for good source of proteins. Try kidney beans, chole, daal etc.0
