Butler soy curls seasoned with Penzeys jerk seasoning blend
I rehydrated with plain room temp tap water (don't need hot after all) for like 15 minutes
Squeezed out water
drizzled a bit of lemon juice and liberally sprinkled with jerk and added to a lightly oiled cast iron till browned a bit.
Crazy good! I had soy yogurt and leftover rice which paired perfectly

Cool!
So, you're an expert in rehydrating and cooking soy things... I've been wanting to ask someone for a long time (if you don't mind): how on Earth am i supposed to cook these things (below)?
[It's written on the pack: "Ingredients: soy protein, wheat protein, soy flour, corn flour"].
I bought it in a vegan shop out of interest, and honestly, i have one more similar pack, that looks even more pathetic, and i have no idea how to make these "treasures" edible (anyway, i feel that very soon i'll need them, so, please tell me it's edible...).
???
@Val - that looks like TVP-texturized vegetable protein chunks. You would add a strongly seasoned water or broth to about an inch over them and let sit until softened, then drain and saute in an oiled pan, adding more seasoning as you like. These are popular to use in chili, or like meat crumbles.
I'm not a big fan of these, but others might have better recipes- also known as soya chunks

Aaah, thanks.
I've copied what you've said (might use your idea the next week, when i become totally destitute). It actually looks like soviet soy goulash. (It's hard to believe it, but in the beginning of Perestroika, poor soviet citizens were fed with soy goulash,- my dad used to feed me with soy substitutes when we couldn't afford meat, and, of course, my dad was obsessed with the idea that his kids need to "get their protein" anyway, so he obtained a gigantic batch of that soy goulash somewhere, and he was feeding me with it until i gagged).

Part of my modest supper: Armenian lavash rolls with chili hummus. Plus a salad of raw shredded beets, raw chopped cauliflower and Azeri tomatoes.

I made an awful veggie soup. I added a whole big can of crushed tomatoes to the carrots, celery, cabbage, garlic and onion and just enough water to cover. So tomato-y 
. (I mean what was I thinking? 
)
I added no beef broth, and lots of nooch and garlic powder and salt. It's edible.
