Tag: Cooking soy curls

Soy curls are a minimally processed, dehydrated soy protein beloved by many in the vegan community for their versatility and whole-food nature. However, as a dry, shelf-stable product, they are not meant to be eaten straight from the bag. Proper preparation is essential to transform them from hard, flavorless nuggets into a juicy, meat-like texture perfect for various dishes.

While soy curls are technically pre-cooked and dehydrated during processing, cooking them is essential for achieving the best flavor and texture. Minimally processed from whole soybeans, they require rehydration before they can properly absorb seasonings and transform from a dry, bland state into a juicy, meat-like substitute.
