I've been playing with the burger recipe in your book for a while now. I've found that the methylcellulose doesn't always hold it together as much as I'd like, so I decided to try something last time... I added a heaping teaspoon of psyllium husk right before adding the liquid to the TVP. It worked SO good! Really held it all together, and upped the fiber content, which is never a bad thing. Thanks as always! Keep the inspiration coming!
One thing I do to make the vegan burgerpatties hold together better, is to freeze them. When they are fully frozen I fry them over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on both sides. These get really firm and hold together great. Even without methylcellulose. I use breadcrumbs and flour as a binder, and the freezing seems to help extra.
It's what the impossible sausages at Tim Hortons uses, it's cooked from frozen. A lot of faux meat patties fail because they don't get frozen. Temperature is the key to controlling the product's state when cooking so to speak. I won't suggest deep frying it lol.
They do seem like the sweetest couple dont they? I am much grateful for their help on these foods & I am excited to find out he has done a book I need to find out how can I get this in Britain
Sometimes my mom used to add a package of dry onion soup to hamburger meat back when I was a kid. Try that for added flavor and add some Worcestershire sauce, either to the mixture or to the pan as you are cooking the burgers.
a big bag of lentils paired with a big bag of rice will make for many meals that are a complete protein, greatly inexpensive, very filling & delicious if you have some seasonings to throw in.
If you are not gluten intolerant, you can make your own seitan from wheat fluor. Also, I reccomend buying big packages of plain rolled oats, they are very versatile and healthy. Beans per kilo are cheap too, and offer a lot. Frozen vegetable is not ideal, but better frozen than nothing. You can get big packages and use them as sides to rice/make stews with lentils/put them in stews.
This is the hardest thing for someone looking to start the transition to going vegan. You don't realize how much you look at a lot of "vegan things" as sides no matter how healthy you thought you ate until you cut the main part of your meal out and have to actually look at what to make day in and day out with things like vegetables and beans and all. It doesn't seem like something hard to do once you have a foundation down but at first even if you think you've got a good plan it seems like most recipe ideas you see online are for full blown all day Sunday meal preps lol so knowing what ingredients are easily interchangeable becomes essential for someone's "every day of the week dinner" style meals and not looking at recipes that just like with meat recipes are ones you would only buy for and make once a month lol

Wow!! 💜😮 As nervous as I am about applying a lot of these different chemicals and I want to stay away from them I actually rather make this than buy the beyond when I'm feeling like a lazy week from making everything from scratch. This is pretty dope 💜
So it did work . This is the measurements I used 1 cup tvp 3 tbs protein powder 1 tbs methyl cellulose 1 tbs smoked paprika 1 heaping tbs of garlic powder 1 heaping tbs of beet root powder 1 cup of almost hot water Maybe 1tbs of marmite it was hard to tell Extra water to make mixture wet
I use smoked paprika instead of liquid smoke in everything to begin with, liquid smoke tastes really weird and artificial, most smoked paprika has real smoke flavor to it.
Weird that liquid smoke tastes artificial. It’s literally just smoke piped through water. Or I’ve made my own by smoking sea salt and dissolving it in water.
The previous commenter is correct. Liquid smoke is basically smoke that you collect instead of letting it fly off into the air. It’s not some man made chemical or anything but just straight up actual smoke. You can collect the smoke by putting it through a pipe into a container for example. The smoke will become liquid once it cools down. Smoke is small solids suspended in air that are given off as something burns. Those solids will just fall back down and mix with the water vapor that has now become liquid water. That’s why liquid smoke forms. If you smoke food, those go into the food instead. I’m not really sure why you think it’s not “real smoke flavor”, but paprika, like most things, is usually smoked with oak, while most of the liquid smoke I’ve seen available for purchase is hickory smoke, what meat is typically smoked with. Each smoke wood is different, and while I like mesquite wood for example, some people think it tastes weird. I’ve also noticed most brands put seasonings or vinegar or other random things, but some don’t. Like the jug of Wright’s natural liquid smoke in my pantry rn consists entirely of the listed water and hickory smoke concentrate. But the ever popular Stubb’s contains soy sauce, vinegar, etc. If you want to make it more “natural” I guess you could mix the smoke in a waterbath and steam the thing. But liquid smoke isn’t really as weird tasting as you say it is, and it’s not really artificial either. But considering this is youtube, I guess anything people don’t know about is automatically classified as a “chemical” and chemical=bad.
Does anybody have a full writeup of this recipe? I kinda get confused with the measurements of the dry ingredients as well as how much yeast extract he actually puts in the liquid mix...
I agree and I even looked on the website but it's not there. It is the only complaint I have with his videos, no recipe in the description and not all are on the website. Doing this would make this channel practically perfect. Look in the previous comments there is a reply with a list of ingredients with guestamations. Hope that helps 😉
@@tinacaron1961 I followed other 'beyond meat' recipes on TH-cam to the letter and they were awful, had to throw it in the bin. I followed this guide, playing around with quantities by continuously tasting the mix. The result was better than what I had achieved from other youtube posts but still nothing close to beyond meat.
This is my first video of yours that I have seen. This looks very good. I’m going to have to buy a bunch of stuff but it looks like it will be totally worth it! TFS!
Haven't ate meat since 2000 and I remember only having black bean burgers, tofu, and salad and now this... This is such a game changer. I finally gave in and had a beyond burger while at the Taste of Chicago this year and I instantly started thinking of ways to make it cheaper and this seems super easy and fast but I'm curious... How long can I keep these frozen and what would the expiration on this be ?
How well does this stuff freeze? Could I keep it in the freezer until I want to cook it or just cook it all up and freeze that? Great recipe, I hope to try it soon!
This is an awesome recipe! However, methylcellulose is an ingredient that I cannot access as easily (price and location wise). Would psyllium husk work as a substitute for it? Thank you so much for your fantastic work, as always!
That would be great in stuffed peppers or Shepherd's pie. I enjoy all of yours videos and prayers for you and your beautiful wife for many more amazing videos, thank you
do you have any suggestions for another oil to emulsify and freeze if someone had a coconut allergy? do you think something like Earth Balance could work?
Been using your burger recipe from your book for minced meat in chilli's or Italian dishes and it works great. Here in the UK, plant based meats are oddly a lot more £ per KG than animal meat and making it at home using your recipe saves a lot on cost and genuinely tastes better than the plant based meats in the supermakets. Store bought mince also come in tiny packs in the UK where as I like to use a pound of mince (imperial) so this is perfect.

When it gets the Monica seal of approval, you know what's up She a real one 💯
Hello, I went to your AMAZING site to look for this particular recipe - but can’t find it. I live in India , am surprisingly find it hard to get pure vegan food here - I’m saving up to buy your cookbook! Can you please let me know how to find this recipe? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
In Canada I'm struggling to find methylcellulose for remotely reasonable prices - the shipping from the US is insane from Modernist Pantry😭. Any substitute suggestions or other online retailer?
I love everything you do. As a Louisiana native, I used to eat lots of meat and barbecue. I love your creativity with making vegan meat so I can easily recreate childhood favorites without all the nastiness that comes with animal meat.
@@zacherybutter7349 you’re very far removed from your nature. You gone without eating a lot of meat in your life for so long, you’re used to that way of life. Also try more less cooked or raw meat!
@@thephilosopher5799 You don't know anything about me nor are you the one with any say as to what my "nature" is. All long-term studies show the dangerous health effects of eating meat, especially red meat. Keep your uneducated opinion for yourself. And while you're at it, get off the internet.
Pickles!!!😋 That burger looks so goood☺️ I love the red, because I'd love you guys to walk down the street with it😂 But this is awesome. I love the shelf stability of the ingredients
Great recipe. I had to make alterations cause I didn't have two ingredients, one of them your favorite methylcelullose and the yeast . I used psyllium and miso paste instead. I am sure the original is so much better but I already enjoyed very much. So for those who also don't have those ingredients, still try the recipe you won't regret it Thank you
love how the quality of your recipes are breaking down the gastronomagic of store-bought vegan products. Hope this kind of stuff gets normalised in kitchens, and breaking it down brings the price of plant based foods down.
Hey Sauce Stache, I noticed you made a pretty good looking burger there, but I had hoped to see one ingredient that you could have added to give the burger that charbroiled flavor of meat that you would normally have in a burger. I did note the smokey paprika and minus the liquid smoke, but there was something (I can't remember where I saw it, I think it was at yung man cooking), that is flame kissed sun flower oil. It makes a flavor similar to that of char-broiled meat. I think it was the missing flavor in your burger. If you try that, please make an episode of it in one of your burgers, I would love to see it in action.
Nice work, but as a biochemist, I strongly suggest that you should really replace artificial methylcellulose with a natural thickener. In industry, methyl cellulose is used due to its low price. Pls suggest alternatives!
@@tylerbrown4483 aye, I understand that some people want their food to taste like meat but I don’t. I actually miss the old days of being a vegan and finding bean burgers everywhere. These weird thickener and binder ingredients are nutritionally void and only used for texture. I’d rather eat salad than this fake junk.
you just have to find a TVP that you like. A lot of the bulk TVP has that funky flavor. The bobs red mill tvp is pretty mild flavor. Normally I use a little bit of vinegar in the initial broth and that helps a lot
You have really improved your channel. I always liked what you have made, however, the cost of the ingredients sometimes prohibits the experimentation on my end. Also, as I live in a foreign country, some of the ingredients are not always that easy to find and even Amazon makes them cost prohibitive. Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping it simple.
I guess I'm blind now. How much of ingredients of each on the meat? You said it on the fats, but I didn't hear and can't find it in description or comments for the meat. Just what the ingredients are. Thank you in advance
I found & shared a recipe I found, similar to this, but we have ground mushrooms and ground walnuts in it, no beet root (although I probably should add that). It's a great color and texture, and has my meat eating fam asking if they are eating meat or not👍
Use barley malt extract! In raw, the color doesn't change to brown, but when heated, it starts to become brown. That ingredient is also used in the baking industry to artificially making bread darker to trick people thinking that it's more healthy.
I’m making these tonight but I’m gonna bread them and shake and bake them so they taste like chicken fried steak. I’m gonna serve it with cream corn and peas as well as coleslaw.
Methylcellulose (in the concentrations used in these new-meat substitutes, anyway) gives my guts a really bad time, so I have to be really careful with the meatless meats that I buy. For quite some time I've been hoping that someone would develop a recipe like this which compromised on veganism by using eggs as a binder or trying some other plant-based binder such as pea protein, and having a recipe I can experiment with myself means I can take this into my own hands. Thanks!
I was thinking this same thing, methylcellulose is a laxative so I'm not crazy about it as a binder. Super cool to have a broken down recipe to experiment with!
It's actually called Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), we just dropped the chemical name when we wanted to sell it to people as food. It's a product of wood pulp or sometimes waste cotton, treated with calcium bicarbonate and petrochemicals (gasoline industry byproducts). Cellulose is indigestible by humans as we are unable to produce the enzyme Cellulase, so the wood pulp fibers will pass through your system and run the risk of caking in your intestines or colon, causing gas and bloating until you take the care to flush your system out. Why people are willing to eat waste from a bunch of industries mixed together and called "meat alternatives" is Beyond Me.
@@Surai00 Yeah it’s worth remembering that aspect of it, which often gets forgotten/obscured when people talk about it being safe for use as a filler or binder. It got really popular as a gluten alternative several years ago and as a result it makes many gluten-free foods pretty awful for a lot of people.
@@fluffycritter many of the products we are consuming today came about because there was industrial waste and they figured that if we treat it with chemicals to a certain standard, it can be sold and increase profits. Cereal is a perfect example, a bunch of waste from corn and wheat processing, mixed with various kinds of sugar, flavored, colored, and then they put in chemicals you can't digest so the label says it has vitamins. I wish people would do some more research on this stuff before they put it in their bodies.
Impossible is pretty freaking good!! Its harder to replicate because of the lack of availability of the ingredients they use. Heme Iron makes a HUGE difference with the tastes. The yeasts they use are different too. Hopefully one day we can get to recreating what they do, because that would be a game changer!
Soooooooo my next video is going to be about pea protein!! Not making it from scratch, just getting it and using it. Unfortunately I have tried for YEARS to make a textured protein at home without any luck. Textured Proteins are made using massive industrial extruders that use intense heat and pressure to create these incredible textured proteins... One day I'll find a way. I really hope.

But liquid smoke isn’t really as weird tasting as you say it is, and it’s not really artificial either. But considering this is youtube, I guess anything people don’t know about is automatically classified as a “chemical” and chemical=bad.
Does anybody have a full writeup of this recipe? I kinda get confused with the measurements of the dry ingredients as well as how much yeast extract he actually puts in the liquid mix...
I agree and I even looked on the website but it's not there. It is the only complaint I have with his videos, no recipe in the description and not all are on the website. Doing this would make this channel practically perfect. Look in the previous comments there is a reply with a list of ingredients with guestamations. Hope that helps 😉
@@tinacaron1961 I followed other 'beyond meat' recipes on TH-cam to the letter and they were awful, had to throw it in the bin. I followed this guide, playing around with quantities by continuously tasting the mix. The result was better than what I had achieved from other youtube posts but still nothing close to beyond meat.
this definitely opened my mind in a lot of ways. thanks for doing this!
This is my first video of yours that I have seen. This looks very good. I’m going to have to buy a bunch of stuff but it looks like it will be totally worth it! TFS!
Thank for everything you do for the animals.
Thank you
This is not sustainable or healthy!
Can you please share the exact measurements of everything g used in your recipe ? You started with measurements however not for everything
This is actually very helpful! So glad I've found your channel, thanks a bunch!!
I'm not the biggest fan of Beyond's flavor so this sounds good. Also, I like this video format, it reminds me of Binging with Babish
So tempting 😋😋😋
Try it!!!! Let me know what you think!!!
Really want to make this, but I can't find the actual recipe anywhere. Can anyone help me out?
Haven't ate meat since 2000 and I remember only having black bean burgers, tofu, and salad and now this...
This is such a game changer. I finally gave in and had a beyond burger while at the Taste of Chicago this year and I instantly started thinking of ways to make it cheaper and this seems super easy and fast but I'm curious... How long can I keep these frozen and what would the expiration on this be ?
i don't like coconut oil... can i replace it with grape seed or avocado oil?
How well does this stuff freeze? Could I keep it in the freezer until I want to cook it or just cook it all up and freeze that?
Great recipe, I hope to try it soon!
You have become my food guru
Born and raised a vegetarian,these vegan western cuisine is a bomb ❤
This is an awesome recipe! However, methylcellulose is an ingredient that I cannot access as easily (price and location wise). Would psyllium husk work as a substitute for it? Thank you so much for your fantastic work, as always!
Yup. done it
Yes! Several other people have mentioned it works well.
@@Benjamite_Bo @Zachery Butter Nice! Does it also work for the coconut oil mixture?
@@kinonoeko I'm curious too!
man i have no clue how i'd get either of these things lmao
i use damp panko to hold the patties together. Rolled oats will also work.
That would be great in stuffed peppers or Shepherd's pie. I enjoy all of yours videos and prayers for you and your beautiful wife for many more amazing videos, thank you
Looks good but sadly I cannot have coconut. Seriously allergic. Could I use butter? I'm not trying to do vegan necessarily. Or maybe olive oil?
do you have any suggestions for another oil to emulsify and freeze if someone had a coconut allergy? do you think something like Earth Balance could work?
Can't find the actual recipe here or on your site... can you provide a link please?
This would be great for a weekend cookout. Memorial Day is looking tasty. 😍
Its perfect!! Thank you so much!!
Anyone know if the recipe is available anywhere?
The problem I have with beyond and the other imposable w/e is it smells terrible while it's cooking. I can't take the smell lol xD
Been using your burger recipe from your book for minced meat in chilli's or Italian dishes and it works great. Here in the UK, plant based meats are oddly a lot more £ per KG than animal meat and making it at home using your recipe saves a lot on cost and genuinely tastes better than the plant based meats in the supermakets. Store bought mince also come in tiny packs in the UK where as I like to use a pound of mince (imperial) so this is perfect.
When it gets the Monica seal of approval, you know what's up
She a real one 💯
hahahah hey!! We're both real hahahah
@@SauceStache I don’t think they were saying you aren’t real lol
to bad you could not buy this in a box(premixed in a mylar bag for long term storage) I think preppers would love this option for meat on the go.
With this huge inflation, we're gonna ask for more and more videos like this one. Thank you.
Hello, I went to your AMAZING site to look for this particular recipe - but can’t find it. I live in India , am surprisingly find it hard to get pure vegan food here - I’m saving up to buy your cookbook!
Can you please let me know how to find this recipe? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
In Canada I'm struggling to find methylcellulose for remotely reasonable prices - the shipping from the US is insane from Modernist Pantry😭. Any substitute suggestions or other online retailer?
Psyllium Husk works very well. Or just freeze them before you cook them
Thankx for the content! I cant find what Marmite means in spanish... dja know about some brand to look at, with shiping to Spain?
So marmite is a simply a yeast extract spread! Any yeast extract will work! look that up and see what you can find!
Está 5€ en taste of America
I love everything you do. As a Louisiana native, I used to eat lots of meat and barbecue. I love your creativity with making vegan meat so I can easily recreate childhood favorites without all the nastiness that comes with animal meat.
Animal meat is not nasty. It’s amazing
@@thephilosopher5799 That’s like, your opinion, man.
@@zacherybutter7349 you’re very far removed from your nature. You gone without eating a lot of meat in your life for so long, you’re used to that way of life. Also try more less cooked or raw meat!
@@thephilosopher5799 You don't know anything about me nor are you the one with any say as to what my "nature" is. All long-term studies show the dangerous health effects of eating meat, especially red meat. Keep your uneducated opinion for yourself. And while you're at it, get off the internet.
Man what can I say? You ROCK!!!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 BRAVO!!!!!!🙇♂️💪🌱
Wow thank you so much
please make vegan tuna from the can
No recipe card?
Pickles!!!😋 That burger looks so goood☺️ I love the red, because I'd love you guys to walk down the street with it😂 But this is awesome. I love the shelf stability of the ingredients
hahahahah Those pickles really wanted to stay on her burger hahahaha the red was intense.. I was not expecting that.. but that was my fault hahah
@@SauceStache Hey, no biggie; really does look great👍😉
Do I need to buy the book for the ratios for making the meat??
I guess you could make a vegan version of chorizo with this recipe as well. You already made one on the channel but it wasn't from the scratch.
Great recipe. I had to make alterations cause I didn't have two ingredients, one of them your favorite methylcelullose and the yeast . I used psyllium and miso paste instead.
I am sure the original is so much better but I already enjoyed very much.
So for those who also don't have those ingredients, still try the recipe you won't regret it
Thank you
I love it that you made the recipe your own with healthy ingredients!
@@k8eekatt Thank you 🤗
$3 to the pound? The British economy must be absolutely soaring!
Haha! No mate plummeting
So... Reduce the beet powder quantity, add liquid smoke and a touch of iron ?
love how the quality of your recipes are breaking down the gastronomagic of store-bought vegan products. Hope this kind of stuff gets normalised in kitchens, and breaking it down brings the price of plant based foods down.
I didn’t know you had a cookbook. I will buy soon
Hey Sauce Stache, I noticed you made a pretty good looking burger there, but I had hoped to see one ingredient that you could have added to give the burger that charbroiled flavor of meat that you would normally have in a burger. I did note the smokey paprika and minus the liquid smoke, but there was something (I can't remember where I saw it, I think it was at yung man cooking), that is flame kissed sun flower oil. It makes a flavor similar to that of char-broiled meat. I think it was the missing flavor in your burger. If you try that, please make an episode of it in one of your burgers, I would love to see it in action.
It’s in the burger seasoning I use
I wanna try that out myself...
Can the coconut oil be subbed for palm oil or anything else?
Could you tell me the ingredient amounts? I love watching your videos.
I love your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. 😁👍
Nice homemade beyond burger Mr. Stache!
Thank you kindly
@@SauceStache no problem
Methylcellulose in Canada is $72.86/100g. Which means I'd have to use only 2.2 g to keep just that ingredient to $3.
Nice work, but as a biochemist, I strongly suggest that you should really replace artificial methylcellulose with a natural thickener. In industry, methyl cellulose is used due to its low price. Pls suggest alternatives!
I really wish he’d move away from these weird ultraprocessed ingredients too. I’m not a chemist I just a vegan who wants to see real food on a plate.
@@mondegreenmatt849you are going to wind up having to use some industrial modifiers if you want a plant-based approximation of meat.
@@tylerbrown4483 aye, I understand that some people want their food to taste like meat but I don’t. I actually miss the old days of being a vegan and finding bean burgers everywhere. These weird thickener and binder ingredients are nutritionally void and only used for texture. I’d rather eat salad than this fake junk.
Thank you for making this great video!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!!!
how do you get rid of that funky TVP flavor?
you just have to find a TVP that you like. A lot of the bulk TVP has that funky flavor. The bobs red mill tvp is pretty mild flavor. Normally I use a little bit of vinegar in the initial broth and that helps a lot
@@SauceStache Ooo, thank you! I never thought to do that👍
Thanks! I’ll try the Bob’s one. I started rehydrating and rinsing a few times before adding the broth and that seemed to help also.
All the stores in my area stopped selling beyond meat. I've been making black bean burgers instead, but I'm gonna be making this from now on.
You have really improved your channel. I always liked what you have made, however, the cost of the ingredients sometimes prohibits the experimentation on my end. Also, as I live in a foreign country, some of the ingredients are not always that easy to find and even Amazon makes them cost prohibitive. Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping it simple.
I’ve been using beyond meat burger sausage all beyond a great fantastic fabulous delicious everyone must try you will love it promise
Even that yes woman who cringes at you was visibly disgusted with your burger.
I guess I'm blind now. How much of ingredients of each on the meat? You said it on the fats, but I didn't hear and can't find it in description or comments for the meat. Just what the ingredients are. Thank you in advance
These look great! Plus 2.58 a pound is cheaper than actual meat!
Liking the refreshed direction style and cinematography of your videos.
Impressive! How would you give this more of a brown color? Can you add Soy Sauce or Aminos to this without adversely affecting the texture or taste?
YEESS... less beet root, more soy sauce, liquid smoke, and I would also add a starch.... essentially follow the original recipe in my book hahaha
I found & shared a recipe I found, similar to this, but we have ground mushrooms and ground walnuts in it, no beet root (although I probably should add that). It's a great color and texture, and has my meat eating fam asking if they are eating meat or not👍
Liquid browning is what I use. Aka gravy master or kitchen bouquet
Use barley malt extract! In raw, the color doesn't change to brown, but when heated, it starts to become brown. That ingredient is also used in the baking industry to artificially making bread darker to trick people thinking that it's more healthy.
@@gohawks3571 care to share that recipe?
I’m making these tonight but I’m gonna bread them and shake and bake them so they taste like chicken fried steak. I’m gonna serve it with cream corn and peas as well as coleslaw.
Methylcellulose (in the concentrations used in these new-meat substitutes, anyway) gives my guts a really bad time, so I have to be really careful with the meatless meats that I buy. For quite some time I've been hoping that someone would develop a recipe like this which compromised on veganism by using eggs as a binder or trying some other plant-based binder such as pea protein, and having a recipe I can experiment with myself means I can take this into my own hands. Thanks!
I was thinking this same thing, methylcellulose is a laxative so I'm not crazy about it as a binder. Super cool to have a broken down recipe to experiment with!
@@JackieC831 That sounds like an amazing idea. Did you cook the seitan beforehand or did you just wash away all the starch to get the pure gluten out?
It's actually called Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), we just dropped the chemical name when we wanted to sell it to people as food. It's a product of wood pulp or sometimes waste cotton, treated with calcium bicarbonate and petrochemicals (gasoline industry byproducts). Cellulose is indigestible by humans as we are unable to produce the enzyme Cellulase, so the wood pulp fibers will pass through your system and run the risk of caking in your intestines or colon, causing gas and bloating until you take the care to flush your system out. Why people are willing to eat waste from a bunch of industries mixed together and called "meat alternatives" is Beyond Me.
@@Surai00 Yeah it’s worth remembering that aspect of it, which often gets forgotten/obscured when people talk about it being safe for use as a filler or binder. It got really popular as a gluten alternative several years ago and as a result it makes many gluten-free foods pretty awful for a lot of people.
@@fluffycritter many of the products we are consuming today came about because there was industrial waste and they figured that if we treat it with chemicals to a certain standard, it can be sold and increase profits. Cereal is a perfect example, a bunch of waste from corn and wheat processing, mixed with various kinds of sugar, flavored, colored, and then they put in chemicals you can't digest so the label says it has vitamins. I wish people would do some more research on this stuff before they put it in their bodies.
How much TVP did you use? It would be nice if you would tell us
PEE BASED PROTEIN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
you are a pioneer my dude, so creative!
I’m an impossible meat kind of woman. I tried beyond and I didn’t like the taste
Impossible is pretty freaking good!! Its harder to replicate because of the lack of availability of the ingredients they use. Heme Iron makes a HUGE difference with the tastes. The yeasts they use are different too. Hopefully one day we can get to recreating what they do, because that would be a game changer!
Hi, how much TVP are you using for this 1lbs recipe, 1 cup?
It would be great if you could work your magic on making a pea protein minced meat from scratch. I can't eat TVP cos of the soy.
There is a couple brands of textured pea protein that is the same texture, such as Plant Basics or Plant Boss
Soooooooo my next video is going to be about pea protein!! Not making it from scratch, just getting it and using it. Unfortunately I have tried for YEARS to make a textured protein at home without any luck.
Textured Proteins are made using massive industrial extruders that use intense heat and pressure to create these incredible textured proteins... One day I'll find a way. I really hope.
@@SauceStache We have faith in you! Your recipes are so creative and amazing🥰😋👍
@@SauceStache Something along the line of a rosin press? I've seen videos of DIY if you are handy
THE KING OF PROCESSED FOODS !
Hi! This is an EXCELLENT recipe, I love it🥰!
Thank you so much 😊
@@SauceStache You're very welcome and THANK YOU for sharing so many wonderful recipes✨!
Do you need the beet powder or is this just for color?
2:39 the lagging has me 💀
Bro looks like npc 😭
Just snagged your book on Kindle. Can't wait to get started.
thks god finally 😊
hahaha thank you!!!
Nice will definitely be recreating these maybe with my own spin on them but maybe not 🤷🏽♂️ either way, thanks again Mr and Mrs Stache!
can i just use regular meat?
Nope
