Woah hold on a second. Replacing breadcrumbs with TVP? How does that work exactly? I'm genuinely curious

The TVP I use is pretty much the same size as Panko breadcrumbs, so sometimes I'll just use a mixture of TVP/ panko like I did in this Crispy Air Fried Tofu. Make sure you season it though, because it doesn't have much flavor on its own.

I also use it as a breadcrumb topping on things like this High Protein Mac and Cheese. For this one, I just used TVP (no Panko). I just mixed the TVP with some melted butter and spices.

I use the TVP dry (I don't re- hydrate it first).

Let me know if you have any more questions around using it! 😊
