Damn, dude, I didn't know that soy curls could be frozen! Totally changed my kitchen only a minute in! We truly are spoiled to have soy curls in the US. What a genuinely fantastic and joyful ingredient to cook with and eat!
Awesome burger dude I just bought the 12 lb bulk bag/box of soy curls, perfect timing 😊 My advice to everybody is to order directly from Butler foods cause is cheaper than other options online.
Have you tried rehydrating them as you cook them, that's what I always do and they end up soft, flavourful, and juicy sense they absorbed all the seasoned water/broth 😋🍛🍝🌮🌯🍔
after preparing soy curls several times, I started skipping the "pre-soak" step. I didn't find that it accomplished much, just took extra time. it might reduce some of the "soy" flavor, but I don't find that offensive, and the flavorings I add later cover it up anyway. for a lazy "general use" result, I throw them into a pan dry and add the flavoring agents I want to use (stock, miso, soy sauce, bouillon, spices, etc.) with enough liquid to cover them about 2/3rds of the way. and then I stir and cook over low/moderate heat until the water has evaporated from the pan, the flavors have infused into the curls, and they're fully hydrated but not "waterlogged". really controlling the final hydration of the curls makes the biggest difference in the eating experience that I've found. too little water and you're eating cardboard, but too much and they can become slimy and lose their chew to be more like tofu. (I like tofu too, but it's a different experience, and I'm not paying out for soy curls just to have them behave like a much cheaper ingredient)
I haven't decided if I like to toast the soy curls before hydrating or after. Before seems to make it happen a little more quickly. If I toast before though I'm not squeezing the water out, I rehydrate with broth. Anyway thank you burger dude.
Thanks! This recipe is great! I had some soy chunks lying around that I didn't know what to do with. I use your recipe as a base, and then used them to make a Chinese style "meat sauce" (肉酱).
Minor side note - you're using granulated onion/garlic, not powder. Garlic/onion powders are different in both taste and texture, especially the garlic. Great to see a full video, although I enjoy the shorts as well!
Where to buy these online except for amazon? The big bulk box on amazon lowers the price significantly, that's how I do it. And the whole infusing flavor and then squeezing it out step isn't for me, but I'll consider trying it again perhaps one day, I think they taste great just throwing intonmost dishes, either seasoned before or during. I prefer using these just as a chicken substitute tho, that way i dont feel the same texture between vegan chicken and beef. But I appreciate the reminder on all the options Burger man, you rock bro!
That feeling when your favourite cooking channel uploads again 🎉🥕🥦🥬
Thank you!
Right?!! I was really worried about him! Glad to have him back!
@@Belcher703 He has been putting shorts out regularly still. Though I am very happy to see a full fledged video again!
I love the shorts, but an epic long form video once in a while really hits the spot
Dude you are an international vegan treasure!
HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many possibilities with this. Love it.
I personally use nutmilk bags to squeeze the water out of soy curls.

Nooch, aka Nutritional Yeast, “AS DICTATED BY VEGAN LAW”! You forgot that part! 😂

Made the base chicken for buffalo chicken blue "cheese" subs this week. So. Damn. Good!!! 🤜
Good to see you again! Hope you're doing well - good stuff as always!
ur on the soy curl grind lately. havent been able to get my hands on them yet but you've convinced me to also become soy curl pilled
best chef on youtube hands down
Just started experimenting with soy curls and textured veggie protein, so this was really helpful! Thank you.
excited to meal prep a shit ton of these once i get a fridge to myself and don't have to worry about sharing space with roommates 😂

Thank you for this. I've been trying to find these and also have been trying to figure out how to make them as well
I'm not vegan at all but I really like seeing alternatives to food and it always looks really yummy!! 😊
Thanks! This recipe is great! I had some soy chunks lying around that I didn't know what to do with. I use your recipe as a base, and then used them to make a Chinese style "meat sauce" (肉酱).
Oh my goodness! This video is so needed in the vegan community. Thank you for having your finger on the pulse of our food desires!! 😋
Love it!
Great video! Is there any replacement for that "browning sauce" that I can get here in Europe? I have no idea what that is!
Epic!
The King has returned
Nice!
Love the soy curls but have a TVP crumbles budget. I can still do this with crumbles too! Thanks for the recipes.
There’s a bit of a stigma using TVP in uk ( although as it’s readily available someone is buying it) but will have to give a go again
Great 👍🏻
Thank you

Buy directly from Butler foods cause is cheaper. I just bought soy curls bulk bag 👍🏼
for me the problem is to find a brand that suits me because they are not ultimately neutral and some just taste nicer than others
yummmmm
I love soy curls 🥺
A salad spinner is great for getting the extra liquid out of the soy curls.
Never saw such an american vegan
Pastabilities🤙😂🌱
3:09 That joke, omg.
Anyone know where you can get these in Europe or UK?
Torimpex, Auchan, Tesco, Kaufland, Carrefour...
I'm gonna use your dating method. Makes me smile.
Aw man. He didn’t say YEUAHHH 😭😂
Struggle to get soy curls here in the UK….unless you pay ££££££ for them 🤦♀️
1:19 was "redundant and unnecessary" a purposeful joke? 🙂
