Hokkaido-grown soybean meat is 100% soybean meat made from soybeans produced in Hokkaido.
The main ingredient is 100% Hokkaido-grown soybeans.
No binders or additives are included; it is made solely from soybeans from Hokkaido.
Since the oil is extracted using a pressing method, the oil content is approximately 60% lower compared to conventional soybean meat, making it a low-calorie soy meat.
It has a good flavor absorption, with minimal soybean odor, making it very easy to cook.
Its relatively mild flavor and aroma allow it to blend well with dishes that have light seasoning.
● When soaked in water, the weight increases by more than three times, making it economical.
**Caution when using Hokkaido-grown soybean minced meat!**
*Because the soybean minced meat from Hokkaido is very finely granulated, unlike other minced soy products, it cannot be squeezed out if soaked in too much water.*
Soak it in about twice the amount of water compared to the weight of the soybean meat, and use it directly without squeezing.
Since soybean meat expands to more than three times its original weight when soaked, 100g of dried soybean meat will yield over 300g of minced meat-like product after soaking.
Soybean meat is a very economical ingredient.
**How to use soybean meat:**
- It softens in about 1 minute when immersed in hot water, making preparation very easy and convenient.
- For soups or stir-fried dishes with plenty of moisture, do not soak in water beforehand; add it directly to the pot for cooking.
- For hot dishes like ramen, udon, or soba, you can simply top the dried soybean meat, which will naturally soften and absorb the flavors of the broth or soup, enhancing the taste.
**Cooking instructions:**
*For dishes with little liquid such as soboro, fried rice, or dumplings:*
1. Soak in twice the amount of water relative to the soybean meat (e.g., 200cc of water for 100g of soybean meat).
Since the granules are very fine, they will soften quickly when soaked.
Be careful not to use too much water, as the soybean meat may dissolve into the water; adjust the soaking amount accordingly.
2. Add your preferred seasoning, such as ginger soy sauce, salt and pepper, or curry flavor.
3. Cook as desired: fried rice, soups, ankake (starchy sauce), or mapo tofu.
*For dishes with more liquid such as meat sauce or mapo tofu:*
Add the dried soybean meat directly into the pot or frying pan during cooking.
**Examples of dishes you can prepare:**
- Mapo tofu, meat sauce, ankake dishes, fried rice, soboro, dumplings, hamburgers, stir-fries, salads, etc.
It can be used as a substitute for ground meat.
