Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Sage
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine TVP and boiling water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate.
Add soy sauce, olive oil, and maple syrup to the rehydrated TVP. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
Stir in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Sprinkle the flour over the TVP mixture and stir until everything comes together into a moldable consistency. If the mixture feels too wet, add an additional tablespoon of flour.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, round patties about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot alongside your favorite breakfast dishes or in a breakfast sandwich.
