Soy curls?

[sallyomally]

Got myself a bag. How do I cook with them?

 

[Forster]

Never even heard of them before.

I'm not even sure what they are. *opens new tab to google it*

This website tells you how to prepare them. http://www.butlerfoods.com/products/soycurls.html

I've never seen these around here. Too bad.

They have them on Amazon, think I'm going to try them. Initial thought was to make some kung poa "chicken" with them.

Bryanna Clark Grogan cooks with them quite often. She has a list of recipes using them at the bottom of this page: http://veganfeastkitchen.blogspot.com/2008/01/fresh-pineapple-noodle-stirfry-and.html

I've been wanting to try them for awhile but I don't much like ordering food online and haven't seen them locally.

 

[sallyomally]

Sounds good. Thanks,schmencer.

No problem! Let us know how they turn out. If they're good I might have to pick some up.

Soy curls are basically a dehydrated meat substitute, also known as TVP, or textured vegetable protein. All you have to do is add water to them and they swell to twice as big (1/2 cup dry becomes 1 cup rehydrated). As it just so happens, today I found a website that sells their own and ordered their sampler pack that has 12 different types.

Let me know how those are, they look interesting, might be helpful for cooking while camping also.

Will do.

Hint, hint, Indian Summer... Reviews section...

From the Grogan website:

They are somewhat like dried textured soy protein, but superior in texture and also less processed. They are made from WHOLE (non-GMO) soybeans, so they contain all the fiber, and have no additives or preservatives.

I will.

They're good! I made some faux bbq chicken and was impressed with the flavor and texture. Found a recipe for sweet and sour chick'n and fajitas that sounds tasty. Definitely will buy these again.

Ah it's the same as TVP? Cool! We use the granules all the time. I'm not sure I'd like the texture in bigger chunks but I'd be willing to try it.

I was thinking of how nice they would be for making fajitas,stir fry,chick'n salad,chick'n and dumplings,bbq sandwiches and so forth. I rather liked the texture.

Oh oh oh! I may have to try that. I've really been wanting tacos or sloppy joes lately. I used to use Morningstar Farms crumbles or Boca crumbles but they are kinda pricey even when you get them on sale. I wonder if the soy curls are better for you than the MS Farms or Boca?

They're all natural.I checked the back of the bag and the ingredients list says,"textured whole soy beans".Not sure about the crumbles.

My friend and I tried them years ago. They are extremely bland. And the texture, I found, was weird, even rehydrated and seasoned. She thought the same.

You mean, like, there was a time when you weren't a rawist?
