D stands for Diet

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, yet another time!

The last week(s) the "Durdling"-Part of this blog was covered quite enough so I figured its time for some "Diet". Since I'm a student I tend to rarely have hours and hours of time to prepare and cook my meals, so I'd like to showcase some of the dishes I "came up with" that are tasty and quick while also not leaving you completely incapable of moving or thinking for the next few hours.

Let's start with one of the basic concepts: Making Soy-Medaillons out of dried Soy-Chips.
(Please note that I also make Soy-Granulate, Soy-Dices etc like this...)

Step 1 - Making some soup

You first want to prepare some vegetable stock. So simply combine hot water with a soup cube.

Very well done! :P On to...

Step 2 - Soaking the Soy-Chips

After you've made the soup simply put the desired amount of Soy-Chips/Granulate/Dices/etc
into it and let it soak for at least 10 Minutes. You might even want to stir a bit in order to get them soaked from all sides.

After this we continue with...

Step 3 - Squeezing the Soy-"Whatever-You-Used"

Pretty straight forward: Take a spoon/fork, dump the Soy into a sieve and "apply pressure". For some dishes you might wanna catch the soup for later use.

That's it! After that you can use the Soy for whatever you want. For example you can make a so-called "Reisfleisch".

For 2 servings you need:

1 Onion
100 g (frozen) Peas
100 g dried Soy-"Schnetzel"
1 cup of Rice
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 cup of soup (preferably the "waste" of preparing the soy)
Vegetable Oil


Cook the rice (1 cup of Rice | 2 cups of Water). Meanwhile dice the Onion. When the rice is finished, sweat the cut onion in a pan with some vegetable oil then add the soy. Add the tomato paste and the peas, stir a bit then deglaze the whole thing with soup.

After that you want to keep it cooking until there is little to no liquid left. To finish, turn off the stove, add the rice, stir a bit and you're done.

Another example would be to simply use some bigger soy-medaillons and simply fry them until they're crispy, then eat them to a salad.

That`s it for now, I hope you liked the recipe, you should definitely try it some time soon!
