Hi, Anyone have any idea for cooking. The IP soy pattie? I currently am pan frying for my lunch but wondering what I might do to jazz it up!
Also, is there ground beef in it? Does anyone have an inggredient info for this? Thank you very much.

There was another thread about this, I will try to find it for you and copy the link in here if I find it.

The soy patty has no meat in it.

I wish I had a great recipe for it, but my clinic doesnt stock them yet, so I havent been able to create anything for it.

However, from past use of normal soy patties, if you dont want a "hamburger patty", then try making small balls (like falafel or meatballs) and eating on a bed of lettuce, or shredded and microwaved cauliflower (rice) with a tomato/olive oil/1 packet of splenda/ & pizza herb dressing. (Kind of like a kebab.)

I would also recommend cutting a zucchini lenght-wise and hollow out a bit of the middle to make a boat. Then cook in the oven at 200C for about 5 minutes. Take out, make the soy patty like ground beef (as it cooks, break it up into pieces). Add in some celery and onion and mushrooms, stir together, then scoop into the zucchini boats and bake 5-10 min more.

Serve with WF BBQ sauce or create your own sauce of tomato paste, jalepeno juice, 1 packet spenda, onion powder, garlic powder and a 1 tsp strong vinegar.


Good luck.

There was a recipe on this site also to make it into a chilli made by source unknown. I made it last week and loved it.

Chili
"I just made my own chilli when the soy pattie.
green and red pepper- chopped and cooked with Pam in frying pan.
Mixed the soy pattie according to directions.
Added soy pattie to the vegtables and added cumin and chilli powder. I like it spicy so I used alot. 1 cap full of cumin and 2 caps full of chilli powder.
I added beef broth to the mixture to keep it from sticking then added some chopped can tomato's."

I always like using the soy patty instead of ground beef for the 'Big Mac in a bowl'. Just cook the soy patty then break it up into crumbles in the pan, throw it on top of lettuce, some WF thousand island dressing, minced onion if you like, a couple of minced dill pickles and voila- a super yummy lunch!

Thank you all for some great ideas!

Hi everyone,
I am new here and to IP, so go easy on me
I treid to look for related question on threads, but did not find one.

Yes tofu is okay. It is listed on your food sheet, under the meats and vegs
which are allowed...in the "other" category.

Thanks, Elizabethjk,
I don't have it listed on my list, but looking at nutritional info it seems ok. I will check with my couch on my next WI.

Let us know what your coach says. I checked my sheets again to be sure and it is listed. It is on the phase one food sheet. I would copy it and post but don't have a scanner. It has blue background on the top half where your three meals and a snack are listed then below are the allowed food categories.vegetable , beef, pork, etc. Tofu is listed in the "other" category which includes the weird food, elk, bisson, frogs legs, tofu! Tofu is as off beat as I will go, and it helps me a lot on this plan. As I said let me know what your coach says....there seems to be a lot of inconsistency where the coaching is concerned.

Hi everyone. Had my WI today-4.4 lbs. Wohooo!
I asked my coach about tofu and shirataki noodles, and it's not allowed in my program

So this is really weird Dashenka. I just read your post and I was getting ready for my dinner which was going to be some pan sauted TOFU!! Now, not so sure. So, your coach has told you that it is not allowed but I went for my appointment today at IP and had some "allowable food" questions. Coach gave me the "newest" phase 1 form which lists which foods are allowed by category; dinner protein, vegetables etc. Although my question was not about Tofu, (it was regarding scallops, also a fuzzy area!) I notice that tofu is still listed on my food sheet. Veterens? what about tofu?

I know, weird. But I guess clinics are different/have some minor differences. I do have scallops on my allowed foods list.

Man, I bought a box of the soy patties and could not finish mine today even drowning in hot sauce. I'm going to swap them for something else tomorrow. But, glad other people can enjoy them
