CHILLI SOYA

Soya chunks or nuggets are considered to be healthy, rich in protein and a good alternate for those who don't eat meat. 

Today I am sharing a simple, semi-dry chilli soya dish which goes great with rice and chapathi. 

CHILLI SOYA

Ingredients: 

• Soya chunks 2 cups 
• Onions 1 large
• Ginger, garlic -chopped - 1 tsp each 
• Capsicums 1 no. 
• Green chilli 2-3 no.s
• Vinegar 2 tsp
• Tomato sauce 2 tbsp
• Red chilli sauce 1 tbsp
• Dark soya sauce 1 tsp
• Green chilli sauce 1 tbsp
• Sugar 1 tsp
• Spring onion 1 tsp 
• For marinating soya chunks: ginger garlic paste 1 tsp, cornflour 1 tbsp, salt 
• Oil, salt to taste 

Preparation: 

1. Cooking the soya chunks - boil water in a pan and add the soya chunks to the bubbling water. Switch off the flame and cover and keep. After 15-20 minutes, drain the water and squeeze the chunks with your palm to drain the excess water. 
2. Marinate the soya chunks for around 5 minutes. Heat oil in a pan, add the marinated soya chunks and fry till golden. Keep this aside.
3. In the same pan, add the chopped onions, ginger, garlic and green chillies, sauté well. Add the chopped capsicum (you can use different colours) and sauté for a couple more minutes. Add in sugar, salt, vinegar and the sauces, mix well. 
4. Leave it to cook for a few minutes, now add the fried soya chunks and toss well. Cook this for a couple more minutes. 
5. Remove from fire, garnish with spring onions and serve warm. 

Chilli soya is ready.
