To prepare soya meat for use in a curry,
Boild two cups of water and add the soy meat to it.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the soy meat soak for five minutes, or until the chunks expand and become spongy.
Drain the excess water from the pot by placing it in a sink and tilting it to pour out the water, leaving only the soy chunks.
Rinse the soy chunks with cold water for a few seconds to remove residual heat.
Take a handful of soy chunks and squeeze out any remaining water.
Be cautious not to burn your hands with any remaining heat from the excess water. Set the squeezed soy chunks aside.
