Notes
- Equipment: Frying pan 26 cm/10 inches, Food processor
- Substitute: Garlic ginger soy sauce needs to be made in advance, so if you want to make this recipe right away, substitute it by mixing 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, a little grated garlic, and a little grated ginger. You can substitute shiitake mushrooms with dried shiitake mushrooms (use the dashi soup which is after dehydrating dried shiitake mushrooms for the sauce). You can substitute chuno sauce with worcestershire sauce.
- Storage: 3 days in the fridge.
- When dehydrating soy meat, place a smaller lid or plate on top of soy meat to rehydrate them completely (because they tend to float).
- If you don't like the smell of soy meat, repeat rinsing with water and squeezing (2-3 times). Adding species such as nutmeg or curry powder would work too.
- If the mixture doesn't come together, try adding some panko to bind them.
