To prepare SoyYum Plain Soy Crumbles, you will typically need to rehydrate them. This is often done by soaking them in hot water or broth for a few minutes until they soften and expand. Once rehydrated, they can be drained and then sautéed with your desired seasonings and aromatics, such as onions, garlic, and spices. They are then ready to be incorporated into your favorite recipes, absorbing the flavors of the sauces and other ingredients they are cooked with. Adjust the amount of liquid used for rehydration to achieve your preferred texture.
