TVP and Nutritional Yeast

Posted by CandiceLM on Apr 19, 2007 · Member since Apr 2007 · 54 posts

I bought some TVP tonight. For dinner, I made a veggie stir fry with rice and the tvp and this stir fry sauce. Does anyone have any ideas to use the rest of the TVP?

I also bought Nutritional Yeast. I thought it would be flakes, but it's powder. How can I use it?

I just sprinkle it on things like salads when I think about it. I have a friend that like to sprinkle it over pasta and sauce. I'm not sure what that tastes like because I don't like congealed flour, but she thought it was tasty.

my dad makes an awesome tvp chili. i use it in place of ground beef. you can prepare it in many different ways as well, toasting, sauteing, marinading instead of just rehydrating with water.

You can makr tvp burgers or even make chili out of it, like hiimkelsi said. I love TVP because it has no fat and it takes on the flavor of anything you make with it.

Nutritional yeast can also be used to make a variation of "cheese" sauces. I love this one form this website. http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=7057.0 It is sooooooo good! Definitely feeds my cheese cravings.
