Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) Taiwanese Vegan Beef Slice - Premium Texturized Imitation Beef, 100% Vegan Meat Substitute Non-GMO, No MSG

Way, way better than expected! I have never really made my own tvp ”meat” before. I usually buy a tiny expensive pack (already hydrated and seasoned) as a treat now and then to cook something I used to love before I was vegan. This was delicious! I soaked them in water for 20 minutes. Then I squeezed the water out and pan fried them with some sweet and smoky seasoning. This is a great cost-effective way to have a protein with your meal if you’re tired of beans and nuts. I’m going to make a “roast beef” sandwich with these next.

My family love this product. It does have some what of a texture of beef it's all in the seasoning. I would buy again

I used this product to make pepper steak, and it turned out amazing.

My favorites

I cooked up the bag of "beef" slices in two batches. I haven't found a recipe that says how long to cook them, so I've been experimenting. The first batch I rehydrated for 30 minutes and then cooked for two and a half minutes in the microwave at full power with some of the water that I had rehydrated the slices in. They were tough as could be.So I experimented, taking the cooked slices and cooking them at half power for 10 minutes and in a barbecue sauce, hoping that, like beef from a cow, they would break down after low temp slow cooking. But they were just as tough after that. So I refrigerated them, and after they were chilled, sliced them very thin against the grain, and reheated them. They were acceptable.The second batch was rehydrated for 30 minutes in vegetable stock and then frozen. Once frozen, I sliced them against the grain and cooked them for 2 minutes on full power in the microwave. They came out tender!It would be so very helpful if cooking times and temps and recipes were available on the web, and or the back of the bag. Other than that, I think this product is just wonderful. Definitely has the mouth-feel of meat and, with the right amount of cooking, the tenderness of a round steak. Perfectly useful for recipes that don't require the meat to be heated for a long time.

The taste was too elaborate, like I was eating some gum or something. Protein was good, took my hunger away .

Reconstituded in boiling not-beef broth for about 15 mins., texture turned out perfect. Used in a fajita saute.

0 is my rating…The ingredients were not the same .. taste awful .. I’m vegan and this is not edible
