Don’t be me and go 20+ years as a vegetarian before discovering …

SOY CURLS!

Where have I been?!? Been veg for over 20 years and just discovered these. Yummy! What’s everyone’s favorite way to use these? I just soaked for 10 min, squeezed out water, threw in a pan with some teriyaki sauce and boom… add to broccoli and rice. So good!

Makes me wonder what else I’m missing. If you’re new to being veg, don’t sleep on soy curls - way easier than I imagined

 

[celticpiping]

@eloquentspeaker14 Yeah so cheap! Are you now vegan/need any tips for going vegan?

 

[propeace101]

@eloquentspeaker14 I sometimes re-hydrate and then pulse in a food processor or blender to get a shredded meat texture - for carnitas or pulled pork/chicken.

@eloquentspeaker14 I love eating them like chips! Rehydrate in soy sauce and chick’n stock, marinate for a little, then drain and squeeze and season with garlic seasoning, salt, and pepper, and airfry at 350° for about 7-10 minutes. They come out so crispy and tasty, I love the chip-like texture. I love using them in stirfries too, same method but just a little less time in the airfryer!

@christiandave33 I love this idea!!!!

 

[matt1111]

@eloquentspeaker14 Is there a specific brand, or is this a general product?

Addendum: I see Butler everywhere. Is this the go to, or do they just have a better marketing department?

 

[alex1111999]

@matt1111 I don’t think they even market they’re just the only ones I ever see for sale

 

[eloquentspeaker14]

@alex1111999 Yeah I wish they had organic ones!

 

[jaco66]

@eloquentspeaker14 They are organic! Just the label cost a lot, is what I've been told when I emailed them to ask about that.

 

[matt1111]

@alex1111999 Thank you

@matt1111 They seem to have a monopoly on this precious commodity.

@eloquentspeaker14 I rehydrate them in stock using Better Than Bullion and some soy sauce. Then squeeze out liquid and pan fry with seasonings and bell peppers - then I can have "chicken" fajitas!!
Soy curls are awesome.

@eloquentspeaker14 Aussie here. The hype for this product is real but we don't have it. Would anyone happen to know the best alternative? Vincent's soy products are ok but it seems the Butler ones are incredible

 

[ladame68]

@eloquentspeaker14 We've rehydrated them and cooked them in vegan buffalo sauce. We've made vegan buffalo chicken pizza, buffalo chicken mac and cheese, subs, etc.

@eloquentspeaker14 Where do you usually find these? What section of the store? I’ve heard of them but have never seen them. I’m in the USA.

 

[propeace101]

@turtledove13 You can check out Butler's where to buy: https://www.butlerfoods.com/wheretobuy.html

I've only ever bought them online though

@eloquentspeaker14 I thought this was gonna say “don’t go 20 years as a vegetarian before discovering veganism is the way”….

 

[kbakers]

@skubadiving247 This is what I thought this post was gonna be too lol

 

[ramy6et]

@eloquentspeaker14 Home made seitan?

 

[christiandave33]

@ramy6et Soy curls are just whole processed soybeans! Seitan is specifically made with gluten but both can be used for chick’n dishes due to their stringy texture!
