Omega Soya Wadi: dried soya chunks for curries, biryani, stir-fries and vegetarian keema. Single 1 kg pack.
Soya wadi, also called soya chunks, textured soy protein or soy meat, is a dried product made from defatted soy flour, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is used as a meat analogue or extender and is rich in protein. Before cooking, soak the chunks in hot salted water for about ten minutes until they swell and soften, then squeeze out the water firmly so they can absorb the flavours of the sauce. Use them in soya chunk curry, vegetarian biryani and pulao, stir-fries, kebabs and keema-style mince after pulsing in a food processor. They take on marinades and spice well, so season boldly. Keep the dry chunks sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, and refrigerate any soaked chunks you have not cooked within a day.
