Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Rehydrate the soy

    Put the 100 g of textured soy protein in the mixing bowl with the soy sauce (2 tbsp) and about 25 cl of hot water. Let it plump up 10 min, stirring once.

    Tip · The soy should be fully plumped and tender before you move on: if it's still hard in the center, give it 5 more min in the hot water.

  2. Prep the sweet potatoes

    Peel the 400 g of sweet potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Peel the 2 garlic cloves and crush them.

  3. Cook the sweet potatoes

    Put the cubes in the saucepan, cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat 15 min, until a knife slides in with no resistance.

  4. Drain and squeeze the soy

    Drain the soy in the colander and press it hard with the back of the spoon to squeeze out the liquid. Set it aside.

    Tip · Squeeze the soy firmly to get the water out: if it stays too wet, it won't brown and will just steam in the skillet.

  5. Brown the soy

    Heat the olive oil (2 tsp) in the skillet over high heat. Add the soy and brown it 5 min, stirring. Add the garlic for the last 2 minutes, then season with pepper.

  6. Drain the sweet potatoes

    Drain the sweet potatoes in the colander and put them back in the empty saucepan, off the heat.

  7. Mash

    Add the butter (20 g) and 5 cl of milk to the sweet potatoes, then mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You won't need the rest of the milk.

  8. Plate and serve

    Divide the mash between two plates and pile the golden soy on top. Serve right away, nice and hot.
