What are Vegetarian Meat Substitutes?
The vegerarian meat substitutes are originated from Asia and widely used by vegerarians for a few decedes. They are basically the compressed soy curd products so that it gives them the meaty texture and consistency.
The compressed soy protein products have a protein content of greater than 45%, a moisture content of about 5 to 15%, a bulk density of about 30 to 40% lbs/cuft and an expansion capacity of about 50 to 150% by volume upon rehydration. The invention also provides a method for making such a compressed texturized soy protein comprising first texturizing conventional soy protein ingredients having a fibrous cellular matrix, such as soy flours and soy protein concentrates and then adjusting the moisture content of structured particles for said soy protein ingredients to about 10 to 20%; and finally compressing said particles into a cake which is capable of expanding upon rehydration 50 to 150% of its original volume.

Chopstick House Proudly presents a full section of Healthy Food selections which are prepared with compressed soy products with the various chef's special sauces. Please ask your servers or contact us for detail.

Why Brown Rice?

Brown rice (or otherwise called "hulled rice") is unmilled or partly milled rice, a kind of whole grain. It has a mild nutty flavor, is chewier than white rice, becomes rancid more quickly, but is far more nutritious. Any rice, including sticky rice, long-grain rice, or short-grain rice, may be eaten as brown rice.

White Rice Comparison

Brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of calories, carbohydrates, fat and protein. The difference between the two lies in processing and nutritional content. If the outermost layer of a grain of rice (the huck) is removed, the result is brown rice. If the bran layer underneath is removed, the result is white rice. Several vitamins and dietary minerals are lost in this removal and the subsequent polishing process. A part of these missing nutrients, such as B1, B3, and iron are sometimes added back into the white rice making it "enriched", as food suppliers in the US are required to do by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One mineral that is not added back into white rice is magnesium; one cup (195 grams) of cooked long grain brown rice contains 84 mg of magnesium while one cup of white rice contains 19 mg.

When the bran layer is removed to make white rice, the oil in the bran is also removed. A recent study has shown that rice bran oil may help lower LDL cholestrol.

Among other key sources of nutrition lost are fatty acids and fiber.

In addition to having greater nutritional value, brown rice is also said to be less constipating than white rice. Although this effect also depends on natural adaptation to the product by its users and whether or not the rice has been washed prior to cooking, brown rice generally allows better digestion.
