Preparing Soy Curls

Soy Curls are dehydrated soy protein made out of whole soy beans that are slowly cooked until they are soft.  I love this product because it has a meat texture without too much flavor so I can prepare it with my own seasoning.  You'll find cooking instruction on the package. It's so easy to prepare.   

Place Soy Curls in a bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for 10 to 15 minutes to re-hydrate. You may see some bubbles but don't even bother. 

Drain excess water (squeeze if needed)

Salt, Vegetarian seasoning and Black Peper 

You can buy a similar vegetarian seasoning at any vegetarian/vegan supermarket

Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan

Add Soy Curls in the pan and season with salt, vegetarian seasoning and black pepper

Keep stir frying until Soy Curls are crisp and brown

Add to stir fried vegetables, noodles, rice. You can use them as just meat.

Stir Fried Soy Curl Black Pepper Sauce

I picked cabbage, eggplant and zucchini. It's fun to experiment with your own choice of vegetable. I love to visit local produce stores. All the colorful veggies make me so happy!

Cut eggplant, zucchini and cabbage into small bite size pieces

Heat 2 tbs of the oil in fry pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Add garlic & ginger mix. 

Add all the vegetables in the pan. Stir fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp. (7-8 minutes or so)

OPTIONAL: Soy Curls 

Add prepared soy curls to the stir fried vegetables

Add pre-mixed black pepper sauce to the pan. Stirring constantly, bring to boil on medium-high heat. 

Add more sauce if needed

Serve with rice or mix with pasta noodle.

Enjoy it !!
