I wish this was my recipe for sweet and sour Soy Curls, but it isn't, and I don't think I could improve upon it, so I will suggest that you try this recipe. I scattered a bit of scallion over mine and served it with broccoli, sprinkled my basmati with toasted black sesame seeds, and gave the whole plate a douse of sriracha. I think the trick to working with Soy Curls is to really press the water out. I've used them with great success in Taymer Mason's creole spaghetti recipe in Caribbean Vegan. There is a great article in the Oregonian about Soy Curls with a recipe by Julie Hasson that I want to try next. Anyway hurrah for Soy Curls--they are delicious!* * *

Eeeee! Soy Curls! I've only had them once so far (I can't get them in Austria) - I used them to turn some leftover veggie soup into a filling stew. They're magical.
ReplyDeleteI am dying to try Soy Curls! Since I haven't had them, I will tell you how much I love curly fries. Especially with Cajun seasoning. Since turning vegan, I rarely go to the types of places that serve them. Sigh. Another reason to get a deep fryer?
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure what soy-curls are, they're not native to my part of the world! Are they like TVP? I'd love to be adventurous and try them!
ReplyDeleteI have never had "official" soy curls, but I buy a very similar product in bulk at a (wonderful!) vegan store near my parents' place. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find them in Denmark, so I don't get to cook with them too often. My favorite way to use them is Thai curries, but your meal looks so good I might try that recipe one day, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to use Soy Curls, but they sound so intriguing!!!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I adore curly fries (whoa, I typoed & put "curly friends"--creepy!)!
Oh yum, I'd love to win this giveaway because I've never tried soy curls. They're not available in the UK & I've seen so many delicious looking meals made with them during MoFo that I need to try them!
ReplyDeleteI love me some soy curls.
ReplyDeleteI have never been able to try soy curls, but i would love to! i am dying to try the courico tacos in 'Vegan Brunch!'
ReplyDeleteI'm in the UK so have never had them. In fact I'd never heard of them til this last month and suddenly they seem to be everywhere with people saying how great they are. I would be very excited to get to try some! Curly fries I am very familiar with however. I have a local bar that does an amazing vegan sweet potato burger with curlies on the side.
ReplyDeleteWoah, I've never had soy curls, but they look pretty awesome. I don't care as much for curly fries. I'm a shoestring kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteSoy curls are the bomb. I love to use them in so many dishes. If you don't tell your omni friends, they probably won't know they are eating a vegan dish. Julie Hasson's new book Vegan Diner has a salad with smoky soy curls on it. The soy curls are used as a kind of "bacon". I love them that way. I've also had them in a curried chicken salad. MMMmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought they would be great for camping, but haven't gotten the chance to try them out yet.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love soy curls!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried soy curls, even though I've been hearing about them for ages!
ReplyDeleteCurly fries, however, are awesome.
I've never tried soy curls. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteSadly I've never tried soy curls, but my love of curly fries goes deep.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to find out what soy curls taste like. We have several TVP products in Germany, but they all look different. It would be interesting to know if they also taste different.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried soy curls....but I want to soo bad!!! I would definitely try that sweet/sour recipe! Thanks for your great giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI'be never tried them because you can't get them here I would love to !
ReplyDeleteOh. pick me! I've never used Soy Curls, never seen them in the stores at all, and would love to!
ReplyDeleteI've never had soy curls, nor have i ever heard of em. But they sound delicious! I would totally use them for a protein in salads or throw them in a stir fry! Maybe even on pizza!
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to find soy curls anywhere near where I live!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried them, but I tried something similar. I would love to use them in vegan goulash, stir-fries and for BBQ.
ReplyDeletewhat a great giveaway! I love soy curls so much! I've only recently discovered how versatile they are. My next soy curl agenda item is fajitas. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYum! That looks sooooo good! Did you put Sriracha on it too? That would totally go with your meal : ]
