INSTRUCTIONS

Soyoil
Soyoil is the natural oil extracted from whole soybeans. It is the most
widely used oil in the U.S., accounting for 79 percent of our total
vegetable fats and oils intake. Oil sold in the grocery store under the
generic name "vegetable oil" is usually 100 percent soyoil or a blend of
oils. Read the label to make certain you're buying soybean oil. Soyoil
is cholesterol-free, and high in polyunsaturated fat.
Soy Protein Concentrates
Soy Protein Concentrates come from defatted soy flakes. Soy concentrates
contain about 70 percent protein and retain most of the bean's dietary
fiber.
Soy Sauces (Tamari, Shoyu, Teriyaki)
Soy sauce is a dark brown liquid made from soybeans that have undergone
a fermenting process. Soy sauces have a salty taste, but are lower in
sodium than traditional table salt. Specific types of soy sauce are
tamari, shoyu and teriyaki. Shoyu is a blend of soybeans and wheat.
Tamari is made only from soybeans and is a byproduct of making miso.
Soymilk
Soymilk is the rich creamy milk of whole soybeans. Plain, unfortified
soymilk is an excellent source of high quality protein, B-vitamins.
Soymilk is most commonly found in aseptic (nonrefrigerated, shelf stable
containers), but also can be found in quart and half gallon containers
in the dairy case at the supermarket. Soymilk is also sold as a powder,
which must be mixed with water.
Tempeh
Tempeh (pronounced TEM pay), a traditional Indonesian food, is a chunky,
tender cake of soybeans. Whole soybeans, usually mixed with another
grain such as rice or millet, are fermented into a rich cake of soybeans
with a smoky or nutty flavor. Tempeh can be marinaded and grilled and
added to soups, casseroles, chili or spaghetti.
Textured Soy Proteins
Textured Soy Protein (known as TSP or TVPreg.) is made from defatted soy
flour. The soy flour is compressed and dehydrated into a nutritious
product that is rich in protein, low in fat and sodium. It's an
excellent source of fiber. TSP is used as a meat extender or substitute,
particularly for hamburger because the two have the same texture. TSP is
sold dried in granular and chunk style. It can be found in natural food
stores and through mailorder catalogs.
Tofu & Tofu Products
Tofu, also known as soybean curd, is a soft cheese-like food made by
curdling fresh hot soymilk with a coagulant. Tofu is a bland product and
can easily absorb the flavors of other ingredients with which it is
cooked. Tofu is rich in high-quality protein, B-vitamins and low in
sodium. Several types of tofu can be found in supermarkets and natural
health food stores. Those varieties include firm tofu that is dense and
solid. Firm tofu can be cubed and served in soups, stir fried, or
grilled. Firm tofu is higher in protein, fat and calcium than other
forms of tofu. Soft tofu is good for recipes that call for blended tofu.
Silken tofu is a creamy product and can be used as a replacement for
sour cream in many dip recipes.
