Ingredients

  • 8 oz Dried Soy Curls
  • 4 cups Vegan Chicken Broth (or Veggie Broth)
  • 1/3 cup Vegan Mayo*
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Miso Paste
  • 1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Water (as needed)
  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Steps

Rehydrate the soy curls

Cover the soy curls in broth and re-hydrate them for 10 – 15 minutes. Then drain them and squeeze out as much water as possible.

Making the marinade

While they rehydrate, make the marinade by combining the marinade ingredients in a bowl. If marinade seems too thick, add 1 – 2 Tbsp of water to thin it out.

Cooking the soy curls

In a (preferably non-stick) skillet over medium heat, add the soy curls and cook them for about 3 – 5 minutes and don't touch them. Make sure you don't crowd the pan. You may need to cook them in 2 – 3 batches. This will ensure a nice browning effect.

Flip the soy curls, they should have some nice browning on them. Cook for an additional 3 – 5 minutes or until browned to your liking.
