I've been trying out Textured Vegetable Protein in these "burrito bowls" I do (literally just rice + beans + protein and some seasoning/sauce) and I don't think it's for me. Sawdusty vibes tbh.

Out of the three other meat alternatives I put in the title what would you recommend? I'm leaning towards tofu because it's somewhat familiar but the whole "pressing" situation seems annoying

I boiled water and dumped it in at a 2:1 ratio in favor of the TVP which is what I read online. I added some taco seasoning to it but that didn't help too much. I think the broth is good tech, I'll pick some up grocery shopping tomorrow.

Don’t buy liquid broth since it’s a scam. Better than bouillon is your friend. It comes as a paste in a jar and can last years in the fridge. You can make a broth out of it.

Ah I've used that for Mac and cheese before, good shout

Seconding Better Than Bouillon. Vegetable, onion, and not-chicken flavors are all dope.

Hmmm... it's hard to know how much seasoning that would be. If you have a liquid that you're putting with TVP, I'd put all your seasonings in that as the flavour will get absorbed through the TVP rather than just sitting on the outermost part.

As a rule of thumb, the broth or liquid should taste too strong as a broth. Like borderline unpleasant without it tasting like you're eating broth powder straight. That can apply to taco seasoning mixed into water or other spices or a combo of things.
