After going down a tofu rabbit hole I returned with nothing. Best I could suggest is dehydrated tofu strips.
Also, if you like TVP, maybe don't read the manufacturer process section of the TVP wiki.
AFAICT they are not tofu though. They are made from whole soy beans. Vs tofu which is made basically like cheese.
Yeah they’re just physically processed soybeans from what I can tell. Cooked to break down the lectins (mmmm poisonous until cooked) then mashed, extruded, and dried. So it’s got a more complex nutritional profile with a less stable shelf life and different texture.
They do talk about it briefly in their faq
