Being that soy protein is somewhat expensive is there any reason you can not use tofu instead?

I guess you could use tofu if you need a filler for your sausage, Soy Protein powder is use as a water binder and can be replaced with Non Fat Dried Milk.

Tofu wouldn't do what soy protein is designed to do, so as Dan says. NO!

Tofu is about 7% protein (Sainsbury), whereas soy protein is anything up to 95%. The water holding capacities are far removed.

Is it just a flour made from soy to bump the protien count cheaply and hold the fat in the skin?
If you wanted to could you just use a chick pea flour from an asian grocer (besan) ?

NFDM = non-fat dried milk powder - would be the normal substitute. Or even egg white.

In what context is this Sfobill?
