About Cooking Soya Chunks
Soya Chunks also called as meal maker are made from defatted soy flour, which has had the oil removed. They are byproducts of the extraction of soybean oil and have a rough texture when dry. When submerged in warm water or added to gravy, the texture quickly changes to soft and spongy. They are referred to as vegetarian
meat because their nutritional profile is comparable to that of several non-vegetarian foods. Soya chunks are also very versatile and can be cooked to mimic the flavour of non-veg curries.
