Vegetarian Protein

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone in this group knows a good source of

vegetarian protein which tastes similar to seitan or wheat gluten, but

does not contain wheat or gluten. I haven't been able to find any in my

local healthfood store. I am looking for a chicken or beef substitute to

put in stir fried vegetables. I often use tofu, but I want to simulate

the consistency of chicken or beef in my food. I have had some really

good chicken wheat gluten protein in restaurants, but I am trying to

stay away from wheat gluten.

 

If anyone has any suggestions, please email me with links or leads.

Thank you so much.

Now you're looking for soy protein other than tofu, right? Or something like

Quorn (which I have been unable to find where I am, but is from a fungus).

Neither of these have grain or gluten. You could also try tempeh - it's also soy

but it is fermented, invented by those clever Indonesians, and I really really

love using it. It can be ground up (in a food processor) for 'ground meet'

dishes, sliced, cubed, sliced, etc., and of course also  marinated before using.

While some kinds of tempeh have grain in them you can also get the kind that is

all soy. Read the label. It is sometimes found in the freezer section of a

health food store. 

 

Other soy products seem to be available -  fake chicken, etc., fake ham, fish,

bacon, beef, etc., but depending on brand could have grain in them. Read the

ingredients carefully, of course.

 

Oh jeeeeez, does any of this help???? Shout out if I've made a total idiot of

myself and I'll try again, okay?

 

Oh - and if anyone has suggestions to answer this question, please post to the

group too? I'd appreciate the info myself

 

Love and hugs, Pat

If you guys go to youtube and type in tempeh recipes you will have access to a

slew of recipes via video to try at home.

discovering his or her own true nature and developing it fully, in harmony with

the outer world.
