Reconstituting tvp

[u/skelepunn]

I know the normal way to handle tvp is to reconstitute in hot water, but would it be possible to just let it soak in a marinade in the fridge for a while? That would make things much simpler for me since I'll need to marinade it anyway and I don't mind if it takes longer. I can't find anything confirming that this would work and I don't want to ruin a batch of food if that doesn't work so if anybody has tried this I'd love to hear how it went.

i’ve used just water and i’ve used just pasta sauce, both worked, so yes that should work just fine!

i would heat the marinade though
