The use of soy products for the treatment of hypertension, recipes. How to cook soy meat correctly How to cook soy schnitzel
Take a deep container. We pour water into it. The temperature should be average: between warm and hot. Place dry soy schnitzels in the same container. They should be distributed evenly in the water. Let them lie like that for an hour.
An hour has passed and we continue. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil on the stove. Place soybean pieces on it for frying (do not throw away the water in which they were soaked). Fry the soy schnitzels on both sides until golden brown; they will somewhat resemble pieces of bread. After frying, transfer them to a deep pan (with a volume of at least 4 liters).
Peel the carrots and onions. Finely grate the carrots, finely chop the onion. Fry the vegetables in a frying pan heated with oil. Sauté for 10-15 minutes.
Pour the water after the schnitzels into the frying pan and bring the whole thing to a boil. Salt. Then pour the entire contents of the pan into the pan with the soybeans. Put the pan on the fire.
As soon as the contents of the pan boil, reduce the heat and cover the pan with a lid. The dish should be simmered over low heat for about half an hour. That's all!
Then your imagination works, supported by many recipes from cookbooks. you can fry with onions, herbs and spices and use it as a filling for pies, pancakes, zucchini, navy-style pasta, stuffed peppers, meatballs, etc. you can stew it with vegetables, make any gravy for it, add it to any vegetable soup, cook pilaf with it, etc. You can stew it with any sauce, cook the meat in French (bake it on onion rings, sprinkle it with grated cheese and add mayonnaise), you can marinate it in any way and cook shish kebab outdoors.
You just need to remember that soy meat contains very little fat, so it has a crumbly consistency (ordinary cutlets do not stick well because of this), and may seem a bit dry. Try to take this factor into account and use various sauces, dressings, gravies, etc. in recipes. And if you end up with a not very tasty dish, don’t be discouraged, but look for new recipes and flavor bouquets, remembering that soy meat is a wonderful healthy food product, a source of complete protein (45-50%) with a low fat content (less than 2% ). This is one of the best products you need to maintain and improve your health!
Textured soy protein (TSP) is obtained from defatted soy flour, which, as a result of complex technological processing, takes on the appearance of fibers.
It looks just like dry flakes (minced meat) or pieces of various shapes (goulash and schnitzel), which, when soaked, increase 5-6 times and become similar to semi-finished meat products. Soy protein has no taste of its own, and you can use various food additives (for example, included in the kit) to give it the taste of meat, fish, chicken, and mushrooms. Almost everywhere today you can buy soy products offered in the form of schnitzels, goulash, and minced meat. Here are some recipes for dishes you can make from them.
Cooking soy schnitzel
Boil the schnitzels in water for 20 minutes, adding salt, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Drain the water and squeeze out the excess from the schnitzels. Dip the schnitzels into the egg and water mixture. Then roll in flour, add a little flavoring powder from the spice mixture. Add Vegeta seasoning if desired. Fry the schnitzels in sunflower oil until golden brown. You can fry them together with onions.
Gravy with mushroom flavor for buckwheat porridge (from soy goulash)
Fry the flour in a dry frying pan; cool; grind with sunflower oil. Boil the goulash in water for about 20 minutes, add bay leaf and pepper. Drain the water.
Cut the goulash so as to give it the shape of mushrooms (caps and legs). Fry in sunflower oil with onions and carrots. In boiling water, combine the fried flour and prepared goulash with flavoring powder or a mixture of spices (“Vegeta”). Simmer a little.
Add a mushroom cube, maybe some greens. When in season, you can add a few real mushrooms to the gravy.
Pancakes and pies with filling (from soy minced meat, preparation)
Fry thin large pancakes (fry them well on one side only).
Boil the soy mince for 1 minute in water along with bay leaf and pepper. Drain the water. Minced meat can be passed through a meat grinder. Add a raw egg, chopped boiled egg, spices, fried onions and carrots to it.
Use the finished minced meat as a filling for pancakes (put it on the fried side of the pancake). Then fry the formed pancake with filling in sunflower oil until cooked.
Making Japanese soy sauce
In Japan, this sauce is served with the national dish “tempura” (fish and vegetables).
Finely chop the ginger and boil in a small amount of water; add wine and soy sauce, remove from heat, cool and mix with grated radish. (Before this, place the radish in small serving bowls.) 3-4 tablespoons of dessert wine, a little pickled ginger, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3/4 cup of water, 1 medium-sized radish.
