This TVP stuff is no joke. I got 12 lbs of it for a sick price recently. Tips and suggestions for using it appreciated.

also the chili is vegan. And quite spicy.

    When you marinate- are you doing that after rehydrating or are you rehydrating directly in your marinating liquid?

      Oh right forgot that part.

      Usually I rehydrate in water, then pour into a colander and squish them like a sponge. This is meant to remove the residue that's often in these things that tastes funny and has even made my housemates feel ill before.

      I also often give them a short boil in salted water, just like you can with tofu to remove the raw beany flavor. Then squish like a sponge again.

      This sounds like a lot but actually it takes about 5 minutes overall since I use a cheap induction burner.
