Prepare the marinade: Start by rehydrating the textured soy protein. Place it in a bowl with hot water and cover the bowl with a plate. Leave for 10 minutes, then drain.
Place the rehydrated, drained soy protein in a clean bowl with the remaining marinade ingredients. Mix well and leave to marinate for 30 minutes (or overnight).
Prepare the other ingredients: clean the Chinese cabbage and slice it. Do the same with the mushrooms.
In a pan, heat the olive oil then add the marinated soy proteins and the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced Chinese cabbage, mix, and cook for 5 more minutes. The cabbage should be flavorful but still crisp.
Cook the noodles in a pot of water according to the package directions.
Once cooked and drained, add them to the pan with the other ingredients.
Mix everything well then serve immediately.
Before serving, feel free to sprinkle your dish with chopped chives and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

What is textured soy protein?

Textured soy protein is made from defatted soy flour. It is a food that is very high in plant-based protein and keeps for a long time in its dehydrated form. Once rehydrated, it looks like shreds of chicken. It has no particular flavor of its own and takes on the flavors of the ingredients it is cooked with. Feel free to have fun with the many spices and herbs available to you!
