Vegan Ground Beef

2 cups tvp
8 cups water
1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp cumin
dash pepper
sliced cabbage (optional)

Place dry tvp in a skillet and cover with water and soy sauce. The water should completely submerge the tvp. Cook over high heat until the water is reduced. Decrease heat to low-medium. Once almost all liquid is evaporated, add oil, and spices. Fry over low-medium heat until the chunks are firm and the mixture resembles ground beef. Stir in cabbage if using, mixing occasionally to make sure that it cooks evenly and does not stick.
