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

Huh, I've pressed tofu since forever and I can get a ton of moisture out - I usually do so overnight though

I usually dredge tofu in corn starch and fry and it turns out fine. I don't really see the difference in stir fry when there's moisture being cooked out of the veggies anyways.

Depends on the purpose & specific moisture of the tofu being used I spose. I've found in some applications non-drained tofu has been too prone to crumbling. Even the "extra firm" stuff around here tends to be extremely soft.
