Recipe and Health Benefits.                
Created by Dr. Mortonette Stephens Ph.D.

Main Ingredients : frozen “Bean Curd sheets the folded ones..name brand EVERBEST Fresh Soy Chip (vegan) NON-GMO made with soybeans 500g / 17.64 oz.
I like the fresh or frozen cause the texture is more like the meat Chitlins..
*However as an option you can use dried bean curd sheets.. you’ll just need to cook them in lots of water..until they get soft..then follow this recipe..
You can get both kinds at Asian markets...

1. Before you get started; if using the frozen let them thaw out.

This is a frozen package.^ ^ ^
If using the dried bean curd sheets
Follow the above instructions for Options.*
                  Vegetables
1-2 jalapeños (if you don’t want a lot of heat take out the seeds)
1-2 green bell peppers
1 onion
4-6 cloves garlic

2. Prepare vegetables
Chop up finely or use Food processor.  I generally use the food processor.

                Preparation:
3. In a skillet put 4-6 TBS OIL (I USE GRAPE SEED OIL)
sauté the chopped up vegetables

4. While the vegetables are cooking rinse the Bean Curd (also known as Yuba skin)  in water and gently squeeze out the excess.  put in a bowl
5. Next, pull Bean curd folds apart into strips the size of those stinky pork Chitlins you use to eat! Tehehaha or any size you want.  Viola you’ve just created your ‘VITLINS’

6. Now add the  VITLINS/ bean curd to the sautéed vegetables.
7. If using the boiled dried bean curd sheets… remove from the water and add to the sautéed vegetables.  And follow the directions as follows.
8. Cook for 3 to 5 mins then begin adding  2TBS water at a time to steam it a bit, continue stirring and  adding 2TBS of water at a time while  it steams, repeat for approximately 15-20 mins.
9. Now it’s time to  add the seasonings.

SEASONINGS:
1-2 tsp Onion powder
2 tsp Garlic powder
Brags Aminos 3-4 TBS
1 tsp Organic mellow white Miso paste
Yellow mustard 1-2 TBS
Cayenne pepper to taste
Optional : crushed red peppers dash -1/8/to 1/4 tsp
Lime juice 1-2 TBS
Add Liquid Smoke last: 1 to 2 drops

You can add a lil vinegar if you like that flavor.. optional

9. Mix well stirring until the vegan Chitlins/ Vitlins are seasoned through; about 10-15 mins.

ATTENTION: The balance between the yellow mustard, lime juice and Braggs aminos are the main seasonings, that give these Vitlins that (pork chitlins taste)   so play with these flavors to customize for your taste buds.
The secret to getting these Vitlins texture like the meat Chitlins .. cook them the day before put them in the Fridge over night.. then right before you’re ready to serve them... in a saucepan add 1-2 TBS oil ( I use Grapeseed oil) heat it up then add the sautéed Vitlins from the fridge and add the following ingredients to your taste:
a lil mustard, lime or lemon juice, Himalayan pink salt, or a lil Braggs Aminos for a lil salty flavor, stir through and taste as you go until it’s the flavor you love.. the texture will truly surprise you! Use seasonings of your choice at this point!

*******************************
Benefits of Organic Non-GMO Bean Curd.

Bean Curd is made from Soy Milk.
Soy is a high quality source of Protein containing all of the essential Amino-Acids, and it is packed with B-vitamins and minerals. It has Fiber (both soluble/insoluble),  Omega-3 and Omega 6 Fatty-acids. It is naturally Gluten-Free and low in calories. It contains no cholesterol and very little saturated Fat compared to meats. It is an excellent source of Iron and Calcium. It’s been said to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancers. And there is clinical  evidence to back up these assertions. Research  suggest that moderate consumption of Soy foods is likely to be very safe.
So I say for special occasions, the Holidays, and especially New Years, for those of you Vegans and Vegetarians who use to love those stinky Pork Chitlins, now you can enjoy the texture and flavor without any cruelty to Animals and a much healthier way to enjoy and Celebrate Tradition.
There is always an opposing side to everything but, here’s my rational this recipe is something I indulge in during the Holidays with no guilt attached! Yay!
