    PLEASE NOTE ABOUT T V P.

16. 16

    In America you can get T V P frozen and already hydrated at the supermarket and so you could substitute 3 cups of that (as is) to the 1 cup of dried with the 3 cups of boiling water: here in Australia you can find T V P at the supermarket but its cheaper at the health food store (go figure!)

    and sadly I've not been able to find the frozen T V P trust me I've looked.
