Soy hash has been with Cubans for longer than anyone can remember. No one knows exactly what percentage of meat and soy the product contains, but what everyone knows is that it is more soy than meat. Its acidity, peculiar flavor and being a food that cannot be escaped in many homes, have made the search for alternatives that make it more bearable difficult. One way to consume it is as salpicón: the soy mince is seasoned with different ingredients to turn it into a kind of pressed meat. If you have a hash that is not soy, but beef, pork, chicken, etc., you can also make this recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 250 grams of soy mince
  • 2 loaves of 90 grams
  • Garlic, onion and green pepper, pepper, salt and other powdered seasonings, all to taste.
Instructions:

To the thawed soy mince, add the garlic, onion and chili pepper, having previously chopped all those seasonings. Add salt, pepper and any other seasoning powders you wish to use.

The contents are poured into a plastic bag and closed, trying to ensure that it is as tightly insulated as possible to prevent water from entering. The filled bag is placed in a pressure cooker with water for 40 minutes.
