Minced Soya Chunks is a recreation of a regular minced meat recipe in which the red meat is replaced with minced soy chunks which are a by-product of soybean and rich in protein. This dish is a flavorful combination of caramelized onion, ginger, garlic, curry powder and other spices that gives a similar taste of meat recipe without the meat and it can be prepared in a matter of minutes. And this can be served as a side dish and enjoyed with plain/flavored rice, tortilla, chapati, roti, or bread for lunch and dinner.

Hi! I was looking for a way to turn soy chunks into soy 'mince' as I find soy chunks are still quite spongy and I prefer to have the more meaty texture of soy mince. This method gives a more flaky type of mince, I am going to cook mine tonight and see how it works. Not many people are using this method so glad to see it here! This looks really delicious!
