Soya chunks makes a great addition to the protein component of a balanced vegetarian meal plan. Soya recipes are my favorite during X’mas or Easter lent season. Makes a good replacement for meat. I used Nutrela’s soya chunks and would highly recommend it. Soy meat or soya chunks or nuggets is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil.

Here’s a yummy Indo-Chinese Soya Chunks Manchurian appetizer.

4. Meanwhile, prepare other ingredients - Separate the spring onion white bulb from the green stalk. Chop the white bulb into small pieces. Cut the green part of the spring onion and keep it aside for garnish. Cut bell pepper into thin strips. Split dried red chilli and have it ready. I did it in the chopper.

5. Fry and Sautee in Sauce - Heat oil in a kadai. Deep fry the marinated soya chunks/meal maker pieces until golden brown. Fry it in small batches evenly. Don't over fry the soya. It can turn hard. Drain them in kitchen tissues.

7. Add sliced bell pepper. I like to saute them well until soft. I don't prefer raw/hard bell pepper in the Manchurian. If you like raw/hard bell pepper in the Manchurian, saute it for 2-3 minutes and proceed to the next step.Add oil as needed.

Mix chilli sauce, soya sauce and tomato ketchup. Add the sauces into the pan. Mix it well. Taste the gravy and add the sauce, if needed according to your taste. Adjust salt. If you find, sauces are getting dry, sprinkle some water.

Adjust the sauces and salt as per your taste. Be careful with soya sauce.
