Soy Product - Soy Is The Miracle Food

Like many other grains, there are many culinary uses for soy. The main benefit of cooking with soy is that not only do you get a good source of protein, but soy is also rich in fiber. Soy can be used in making everything from appetizers, to desserts, even drinks, so get ready for a feast! There are hundreds of recipes that use soy to varying degrees, but we thought we'd use one of our own personal favorites to get you started.

Make your own tofu veggie burgers

300 g (10 oz) firm tofu, ground
175 mL (3/4 cup) quick rolled oats
30 mL (2 tbsp) sunflower seeds, ground
3 mL (1/2 tsp) onion powder
3 mL (1/2 tsp) basil
3 mL ( 1/2 tsp) oregano
30 mL (2 tbsp) tamarind, or regular soy sauce
add a dash of powdered garlic, or very finely chopped garlic
and a dash of sea salt, and fresh ground pepper
if you want to make them a bit spicier, you may add some crushed chili pepper

Mix and knead until the ingredients until everything has been thoroughly blended, shpe into patties and bake at 325°F for about 20 minutes on an oiled cookie sheet.

You may also fry them in a non-stick pan in some extra virgin olive oil.

Serve on a bun (onion rolls are quite good), and be creative with your condiments, we tend to favor honey-BBQ sauce, or Dijon mustard, but they taste great with regular mustard and ketchup too!

Make your own soy coffee cake

3 mL ( 1/2 tsp) nutmeg
