Steps
Question 2 of 8:
How do you prepare soya chunks?
-
Boil the soya chunks in water for 2-3 minutes until they’re soft. Dried soya chunks are tough and hard, but they’re super easy to rehydrate so they’re nice and soft. Fill a pot with 4 cups (950 mL) of water and bring it to a boil. Add in about 2 cups (192 grams) of soya chunks and allow them to boil for a few minutes until they expand and soften.

-
Rinse the chunks in cold water and squeeze out the extra liquid. Soya chunks can have a strong odor once they’re rehydrated, so run them under a cold tap to cool them down and help remove the smell. Once they’re nice and cool, squeeze out the extra liquid a handful at a time until you’re left with rehydrated chunks that are ready to use! [3] X Research source
- You can use the soya chunks as is or mince them into smaller pieces if you prefer.
