Ingredients

• 1 cup Butler Soy Curls
• 1 ½ cups vegetable broth (for rehydrating soy curls)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• ½ tsp chili powder (optional for heat)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Equipment

• Medium mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Large skillet or frying pan
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Colander or strainer
• Knife and cutting board

Instructions

1. Rehydrate the soy curls: Place the 1 cup of Butler Soy Curls in a medium bowl and pour 1 ½ cups of vegetable broth over them. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until fully rehydrated and tender.
2. Drain and squeeze excess liquid: Once rehydrated, drain the soy curls using a colander. Press gently with your hands or a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible. This helps the curls absorb the marinade better.
3. Prepare the marinade: In the same bowl, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp ground black pepper, and ½ tsp chili powder if you like some heat. Whisk together until well blended.
4. Marinate the soy curls: Toss the drained soy curls into the marinade and mix well to coat evenly. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes to soak up the flavors. For even more flavor, marinade for up to 1 hour in the fridge.
5. Cook the soy curls: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated soy curls and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
6. Adjust seasoning: Taste and add salt or additional soy sauce if needed. Cook for another minute if you add more liquid to allow it to absorb.
7. Serve and garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot as the star of your meal.

Tips & Variations

“For an extra smoky flavor, try adding a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade!”

• Switch up the marinade: Use BBQ sauce, teriyaki, or curry spices instead of the smoky paprika blend to create different flavor profiles.
• Add vegetables: Toss in bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms while cooking for a complete stir-fry.
• Make it a sandwich: Use these soy curls as a filling for vegan sandwiches or wraps with your favorite sauces and fresh veggies.
• Use broth alternatives: Water can be used to rehydrate if you don’t have vegetable broth, but broth gives a richer flavor.
• Try baking: After marinating, spread the soy curls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes for a crispier texture.
