For example, the patent application No. 202010676338.4 discloses a preforming process of soybean protein meat and a soybean protein meat product. However, the surface of the product lacks real meat texture, and the taste lacks real meat taste, and it is difficult to be flavored in subsequent processing (marinating). SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a plant jerky, which can improve the taste and improve the marinating effect by using a treated surface.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a plant jerky, wherein the plant jerky at least contains a matrix;

[0071] The plant jerky is prepared by the following steps:

[0072] A soy protein sheet with a width of 135 mm and a thickness of 5.5 mm is used as the raw material, and a pattern as shown in Figure 2 is formed on one side surface of the soy protein sheet by pressing or carving, to obtain a plant jerky semi-finished product; due to the process, the thickness of the soy protein sheet changes slightly, and is reduced to 3-4 mm; according to needs, the soy protein sheet is cut to a predetermined length;

[0073] The side surface of the plant jerky semi-finished product where the pattern is formed is immersed in a marinade (the marinade contains: water 60%, barbecue sauce 39%, food flavoring 1%; the following marinades are the same) at 80-100°C, boiled, cooled to 70°C, and marinated for 60 minutes, then aged, dried (55°C, 4 hours), to obtain the plant jerky finished product; the plant jerky finished product is completely penetrated by the marinade during the marinating process, and the overall penetration degree of the marinade remains substantially the same.
