Step 1: Soak the TVP in hot water for 5-10 minutes, cover, and allow the granules to swell. For 1 cup of TVP, you will need 3/4 cup of water.
Step 2: Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, except the flour.
Step 3: Gradually mix in the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the mixture sticks together to your liking or until you can form a ball.
Step 4: Take a palm-sized amount and shape it into ball shapes.
While forming the patties, preheat a pan over medium to medium-high heat.
Step 5: Place the formed balls on the hot pan and press them with a spatula to flatten (if you choose, you could flatten the balls in step 4 after rolling them).
