It’s a good idea to include some plant-based protein source in your diet even if you are not a vegan to maximize the number of amino acids you consume. It takes many different amino acids to make a perfect protein source.

Soy is high in protein. There’s 36g of protein in 100g raw soybeans, making it an excellent alternative to meats. Before proceeding with this recipe, make sure you are not allergic to soy.

In this recipe, I’m using the dry soy chunks. Soya chunks are made using fat free soy flour. They are fat free because the oil in soybeans is extracted to make the soybean oil. These chunks, as the name implies, are also a good food source if you are following a low-fat diet. Being fat-free makes it low in calories and high in protein, a healthy food.
