Soy chorizo is meatless soy based chorizo, tastes pretty much exactly like the regular stuff just a little drier, the cheese makes up for that.

Thank you!
which brand are you trying? I have had two and one (called Soyrizo) was pretty meh but then i found this Cacique brand Soy Chorizo and it’s way better; Cacique makes meat based chorizo in a tube (it’s the nasty one with lymph nodes in it) and i think because they make it similar to their meat product it comes really close! It is a bit dry though.
Good luck with breakfast :)
Honestly I think the problem with soyrizo is that it doesnt have enough liquid to spread the spices. Because they’re vegetarian, they get caught up in the “healthy” food trends which mean 1/3 the fat. It’s like how most vegan pizza is also gluten free because they want you to be fucking miserable.
Anyways I had great success by squeezing out the soyrizo into a tbsp or two of oil in the pan at a low temperature to let it kind of steep before cranking it to cook. That let the spices go much farther and more closely mimmick the greasy lymphy mess of the real stuff.
I am going to give this a try, I have always thought that one bite has a lot of spice and the next not as much.
that’s good advice thanks!
This is the way!
Cacique I am fairly certain. It is not that it is bad or anything, it is just not great. I also used to like slicing my chorizo so I had little disks, rather than crumbles.
ahhh i see what you mean, I got used to Caciques very runny lymph node chorizo so to me it’s very close to what i think of as chorizo.
I have gotten actual chorizo sausages like you’re talking about and wasn’t a big fan. It’s funny how your first touch can set a preference like that.
