My wife and I have been really loving soy curls. Mostly I have been doing bbq curls (soak 115g in hot water for 10 minutes, drain, cook until done to your liking, add ~1/4c (59ml) bbq sauce of your choice). Dragon soy curls is another one I liked a lot. I also did sweet and sour soy curls, but cannot find the recipe I used.

I am looking for more recipes using them. Please share what you do with soy curls. As this is vegan home cooks, keep recipes vegan. I am a recovering alcoholic, and while I should not have to say, no alcohol, someone always gives an alcohol suggestion.

If you do not share an entire recipe, please share a link to one.

Soy Curls is a trademarked term, does that make it a brand name?

    If you know the generic name for them, please share it and I will edit the post.

    After going down a tofu rabbit hole I returned with nothing. Best I could suggest is dehydrated tofu strips.

    Also, if you like TVP, maybe don't read the manufacturer process section of the TVP wiki.

    AFAICT they are not tofu though. They are made from whole soy beans. Vs tofu which is made basically like cheese.

    Yes and no. It is part of a brand name... but there is no generic version of the product that I am aware of. It's similar to TVP but not the same. (Ironically TVP is the same despite what rule 2 implies on this site. It's trademarked by Archer Daniel Midland company).

    So I would say if the concern is the rules here, there isn't a generic 1:1 analog.

    We easily find something called soy curds in asian markets. It appears to be the same thing.

    I don't believe soy curds are the same as soy curls. AFAIK soy curds are essentially tofu so even the dried ones are dried tofu. Soy curls haven't gone thru the same processing I believe and contain only soybean.
