Best Soy Curls Recipe!

tablespoons Homemade BBQ Sauce,

soy curls (available here)

olive oil

Make the Homemade BBQ Sauce (or try our Vegan BBQ Sauce, Mustard BBQ Sauce or Sugar Free BBQ Sauce.) Don&#8217;t even think about using another purchased BBQ sauce: this one is absolutely worth the 10 minutes it takes to simmer while you wait for the soy curls.

Place the soy curls in a bowl and cover with several inches of water. Soak for 9 minutes. Then drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a skillet and heat to medium high. Cook the soy curls for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned, stirring often. Add 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce and continue cooking 1 minute until starting to blacken.

Remove the soy curls to bowl and stir them together with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Serve warm, with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.

Vegan Pepper Steak With Onions. Tender strips of soy curls, sliced bell pepper, and savory onions cooked in a delicious Asian inspired brown sauce. Serve over rice for one of the easiest, most delicious, healthy, and unforgettable meals.

Vegan Pepper Steak With Onions

an 8-ounce bag of Butler Soy Curls

onion

green bell pepper

red bell pepper

black pepper

water

Salt

soy sauce (use tamari to make gluten-free)

1 Tbsp. cornstarch

maple syrup

of onion powder

garlic powder

ground ginger

Preheat a nonstick skillet on a medium heat.

Place the soy curls in a bowl and cover with water for 8 minutes. While the soy curls are soaking in the water slice the bell peppers and onion.

Once the pan is completely heated add the onions and cook them until they are soft and begin to slightly brown. Add 1-2 Tbsp. of the water, if needed, to prevent them from sticking. Add the bell peppers, mix with onions, and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Assemble the brown sauce while the peppers and onion cook and set aside.

Drain the soy curls, add them to the skillet with the peppers and onion, and toss to combine everything. Season with the black pepper and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Pour the brown sauce into the skillet, make sure everything is coated, and stir until the sauce thickens.

We made this last night and it is so  easy to make and absolutely delicious! Who knew that soy curls (that name! LOL) could be amazingly good!  Thankful for this website and your encouragement; plant based eating isn't the easiest to navigate. By the way, our daughter, Whitney Henderson, told us about your website and gave us our first bag of soy curls!!

Wow, Anne! That is awesome!!! Whitney if one of my favorite people in the whole world:)

I just made a double batch of this today. It was delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

Got my soy curls in this afternoon and doubled the recipe. So quick to bring together and absolutely delish!! My husband who isn’t a fan of soy-anything, totally loved the meal. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

I made a double batch for my family last night. We are not vegan, but are choosing more plant-based options more often. Even my little omnivores loved this dish! My middle guy said it tastes just like the black pepper chicken from Panda Express.... only way better! Thank you!!!

I LOVE this dish!!!!  I doubled the sauce recipe and I threw the soy curls in the air fryer for a few minutes after soaking and squeezing to give them a bit  more "tooth." So delicious, and it gets even better the next day. Also makes a great sandwich filling.

Just made it. Didn’t start the rice first and now have to wait! Yum.

Just polished off my first helping and going back for seconds!  Thanks for another winner, Shane!

OUTSTANDING!!!   1x recipe serves 4.  Not so sure I was happy to catch that as I was about to polish off the entire pot myself.  (Maybe it's a "Carol" thing, as I see from the post above!). But I live alone, and it's that delicious, so who'll know ...
Thank you!

This is one of my FAVORITES -  I actually had it four nights in a row a couple of weeks ago!

Made this tonight for my non vegan boyfriend. His comment was, it was better than he expected. As for me, I've had a 3 lb bag of soy curls in my cupboard for a few months so this was my first time trying them as well. Thank you for such a simple and delicious recipe for our first soy curl experience!

It says on the side of the package that its best to freeze or put in fridge, I freeze my soy curls if i know that I wont use them right away to keep them fresh.

Hi there. I just got a hold of some soy curls and made your vegan pepper steak with onions, instant pot brown rice, I cooked peas on the side . Delicious. I also made chocolate peanut butter dessert hummus  and had wedges of apples,bananas,and peaches. What a delicious satisfying meal. Thank you.👍 😊 They’re all five stars.

Made recipe as written. This was easy and delicious. Thank you for sharing!!

This is so yummy!  One of my favorite dishes now.

I did not want to leave the house today so i searched "bell peppers" and "soy curls" on google and boy am I ever glad I found this recipe! Absolutely delicious. I will be scheduling this one in for twice a month. Super easy and tastes amazing! Thank you. I love strangers who post cool stuff on the internet and make my life flavourful and more interesting. Bless you!

This was a winner for us. Been plant-based since February 2020, and I comb the internet for recipes that both hubby and I like. This one was spot on. And it was so easy with minimal cleanup. It will be a regular for us. Maybe you could come up with a few more stir fries with soy curls. Thank you for your recipes

Wow!! Soy curls... who knew?? These are amazing! This recipe is SO GOOD!!! Thanks for another keeper Shane!

I finally made this and my husband and I loved it.  Thanks much!

I just LOVE this recipe....have made it several times.  So easy and fast.   I too doubled the sauce, served it over rice and one time I threw in a package of "Seeds of Change" quinoa &amp; brown rice when it was finished...which made it even easier.   Yum!   Thank you.

This is an excellent recipe. The leftovers aren’t nearly as good the next day, so don’t expect it to be. But freshly made, it’s delicious! The sauce is boss!

We loved this!  I doubled the recipe to cover two nights and very good I did!  It turned out to be a bit much for my large pan, but the flavor was great and we served it as the filling for fajitas.  It tasted just like the chicken fajitas I used to make before giving up meat.  This is the second time in a week you’ve helped with our dinner plans!  Also thank you for introducing me to soy curls which I can think of lots of ways to use.

Fantastic recipe. I served it over farro. This will be a regular.  Thanks, Shane.

Very easy and very tasty.  I air-fried the soy curls before adding to the peppers and onions. I liked this better than regular pepper steak! Thanks, Shane.

Absolutely delicious!! So fast and easy. This s my first experience with soy curls and I am HOOKED. I, too, are almost the whole recipe myself. I’ll be on the lookout for more of your recipes using these tasty little morsels.  Thank you!!

I made this last night for dinner. It was delicious. I added some steamed broccoli for color and crunch. Served with basmati rice. I wanted more sauce, so I added some vegetable stock. Leftovers for lunch today were even tastier. This is a keeper. Thanks.

Shane,
This recipe is a keeper for me. I made it for lunch today and now I wished I would have cooked rice with it. It is fabulous alone too. Thanks again for another great recipe.

Very good! I'll definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!

Made this, (and so many of your other recipes), and it was gone before I could ask how the family liked it!  Love your recipes and tips!  Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

This is a new family fav!!  Just made it for the first time the other night and it was a hit.  I never cooked with soy curls before and really liked the texture of them.  My daughter thought it was chicken haha.  I love your recipes.  So simple and easy and flavorful.  Thanks so much for sharing!!

Just made this recipe last night on top of brown rice.  It was excellent! My husband wants this on the regular menu from now on. Had leftovers for lunch the next day wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla with some aioli on top! Another great meal! Thanks for such a great tasting recipe. Easy to make and quick!  Keep the great recipes coming 😁

Excellent, quick and easy! Added broccoli florets and Kale that I needed to use up.  Served over leftover quinoa. Delicious ❤️

This is so quick and easy and delicious.  I've made it at least 3 times now; also subbed  steamed tempeh once, I think, and maybe added chickpeas that time.  Your cooking sauces are so helpful, and reliably tasty!   I see one person thought of adding pineapple chunks; sounds good to me, I'll try it.  But it's terrific (and so reliably quick) just the way it is.  Thank you, Shane.   Lifesaver on a busy day.  :)

So yummy! My meat-loving husband called it scrumptious. :) I threw in the whole bag of soy curls (8 oz). I added an extra bell pepper (total of 3), went heavy-handed on the black pepper and doubled the sauce. I even threw in a little (about a couple tbs or so) of chopped hungarian wax pepper for a little spice. It was sooooo good! Looking forward to left-over for lunch tomorrow. Thanks, Shane!

This recipe has become a new favorite, for sure!  My husband and I have never been a fan of onions and peppers, for one thing.  But I tried this recipe, and we absolutely love it!  And couldn't be simpler.  A quick and easy meal, and it tastes like I spent a lot of time on it.  Thank you, Shane!

Great recipe!  Freezes very well too!  Great over any grain and even Chinese noodles!  Love it! Thanks!

I'm sure I've already commented but since I made it again tonight, I just wanted to say again thank you.  This is such a great weeknight meal.  I'm so appreciative of all your recipes!!

I made this last night for dinner and served it over brown rice. It was delicious! We used a little Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce as a condiment which was really good. I also think next time I make it, and there WILL be a next time, :) I am going to add some pineapple tidbits and use some of the juice (in it's own juice, no added sugar) from the can to make the sauce instead of water. I think it will be even more amazing with that little bit of fruit in it.  Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes!

Just made this.  Easy, quick, delicious—love it and my non-vegan hubby likes it too!  First time using soy curls and pretty excited about trying your other soy curl recipes too.  (They now carry them at MOMS Organic Market in the bulk section—yay!)   Will definitely make this again.  Thanks again for all you do and your terrific recipes, Shane—much appreciated!!

Wow!  Made this recipe tonight and it was delicious!  I served it over brown rice but I think it would be great on its own as well.  My husband even had seconds!  This one is going into our regular rotation for sure!  So tasty!  Thank you for posting this!

We love this recipe!!! I make it often, even my non vegan family love it!! Thank you so much!!
Wanted to know if I freeze it, what is the best way to reheat?
Thanks again!!❤️

Made this amazingly delicious and simple recipe as the first home cooked dinner in our new home. Lovely, unxious flavors. Thank you for all the goodness you put out there!

I made this for dinner last night. It is so easy to make &amp; full of flavor. I noticed in the comments that several people said they doubled the Brown Sauce. My hubby likes sauces so I doubled it! It was fabulous &amp; will definitely be made again &amp; again! I think I will add cremini mushrooms next time.😄

This was super easy and so delicious! Will definitely make this on rotation!

We use this recipe as a fajita/burrito filling and it’s perfect. We add lettuce, tomatoes, and black olives and they are AMAZING!

Made this tonight for myself and had it with rice. So delicious and I love recipes with soy curls. Made it exactly as written and may use leftovers in a tortilla tomorrow. Thanks for another awesome recipe!

Hi Shane!  I wondered if this recipe would be that great.  IT WAS!  I didn't have the green bell pepper, so I used jalapenos with the red.  I was tired, didn't feel like being in the kitchen, and this was quick and DEEEEEELishious.  Thank you for another simple, healthy, flavorful meal.  You rock!

Amazingly simple and flavorful! Thank you!

One of my favorites!  I could not believe how delicious &amp; flavorful this recipe was!  It tastes very authentically Asian.  Very simple to make and one I come back to frequently.

Delisch! I did add 1 1/4 tsp Annie's vegan Worchestershire sauce and about 5 cloves of garlic sliced very thin. I had yellow and orange bell peppers so I added chopped parsley at end for added color. Another winner Shane! Thank you.

Delicious!! Had it over farro this time and it was wonderful. I'm going to take the other person's comment about fajitas and try it that way next time. Thank you, Shane!

Love this recipe!  I always double it and look forward to the leftovers!

I wish I could give this recipe more than 5 stars because it deserves more.  This is a new favorite and I’ll be making it frequently!

I have jumped on the “Lego” lunch bandwagon and this dish freezes perfectly in my silicone molds and when thawed and reheated it tastes freshly made.

Love , love, love this dish!
