Saucy Soy Curls with Broccoli and Brown Rice - Good Old Vegan

Saucy Soy Curls with Broccoli and Brown Rice

I asked you in my stories how many of you know soy curls and almost 90% said they didn’t know what it was! So this dish was actually my first time trying soy curls as well and the verdict is 🙌🏼👍🏼!

They’re a good meat alternative, made only from whole soybeans and are 100% natural. Now I am not saying they are necessarily a health food but I think they can be a fun, high protein addition and a switch up from tofu (don’t worry tofu I still love you 😘 haha). Like in this simple take out style dish which is super easy to make and oh so tasty!

Ingredients

2 cups soy curls
Warm water
1 bag frozen broccoli florets (or 1 head of broccoli)
1-2 spring onions
1 tbsp avocado oil optional

Sauce

1 cup water
1 tbsp corn starch 2 tbsp of water to dissolve
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1/4 cup sriracha sauce
2 tbsp coconut or brown sugar or maple syrup
Splash rice vinegar see notes
Brown rice or grain of choice, to serve with

Instructions

Add soy curls to a bowl, cover with warm water and let them rehydrate for 10 minutes.
Drain excess water.
In a large skillet, heat up avocado oil and pan fry soy curls until lightly browned.
If you don’t want to use oil make sure you have a good non stick skillet.
Clean and cut spring onion and if necessary cut broccoli into florets.
Add spring onion and broccoli to the pan, cover with a lid and sauté/steam for a few minutes until broccoli is tender but still firm and not overcooked. If you’re using fresh broccoli add a few tbsp of water here as it doesn’t release as much water as frozen broccoli does.
In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch with 2 tablespoon of water, then stir in 1 cup of water, coconut aminos, sriracha sauce, sugar or syrup and rice vinegar.
Pour sauce over soy curls and broccoli mix and cook for about 1-2 minutes until sauce has thickened and everything is nicely glazed.
Serve with rice and enjoy!

Notes

You can easily adjust the sauce to your preference.

Use less sriracha to make sauce less spicy, add an additional tablespoon of sweetener for a sweeter sauce and use soy sauce or tamari instead of coconut aminos.

Optional: Add some chickenless seasoning to the soy curl panfrying step.

This was really good. I used less spice and a little more Maple syrup after using coconut sugar. I followed the recipe but I felt the sauce didn’t thicken up as much as it should. Next time I’d use a little more corn starch or less water. Overall very tasty. I served with a brown rice Quinoa mix.
