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.

TVP is a defatted soy protein isolate and soy curls are whole soybeans that have been processed physically into a sort of a spongey matrix so they have that shape. So they are full soybean with fats and fiber in tact afaik. Very similar in use to TVP just with a different nutritional makeup I believe.

    Ah, interesting. That would also explain your other comment about soy curls having bad shelf life. TVP is always part of my reserve, because it can easily last for years. 😅

    Yeah because it still has the oils it will go rancid if you don’t store it properly. I keep it in the freezer and it’s lasts a long time. If you leave it out though it only lasts a few months in my experience. So definitely better to keep it frozen until use. As you said I just keep tvp in the cupboard in a sealed container and it’s fine.
