I have been wanting to try Soy Curls for a while now, but really I just always thought they were pretty much the same as TVP... WOW was I wrong!! This is my new favorite fake meat substitute. There are tons of vegan meats available now and trying to find one that works for so many dishes can be hard.. With soy curls we can get crazy!! You can make burgers, pulled sandwiches, stir fry, its endless.
Today I'm going to make an asian inspired dish, a vegan "pulled pork" sandwich, and a soy curl burger!! That last one I'm really excited about!

I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!
Hey Gang!! Make sure you hit that thumbs up (like button) for the algorithm!! and leave a comment below!! I WOULD LOVE to make more soy curl recipes?!! I have SOOOO many ideas on how to use these.
Let me know what you think I should make with them NEXT!
I bet these would be really good for making some taco fillings. Maybe chicken tinga or pork al pastor.
Hey @Sauce Stache with Christmas 🎄 coming up very quickly, could you research 🔬 if you could do a family meatless “roast” for a vegetarian/vegan family?
Cook and Let Live has a whole chapter on soy curls, might have some inspiration. I've never been able to find them in local shops.
soy curl lobster!
Beef stew😅
Mark, having worked with soy curls for about 4 years now, I’d offer a minor processing alternative for you and the channel. Hydrate with hot water only… squeeze out the water and *then* add your broth and seasonings to the “wrung out” curls - this saves the amount of wasted seasoning and the curls soak up much more flavor. Btw, we buy the 12lb bag directly from Butler and divide it up in ziplock bags. Great vid! 👍
Do you then need to let the soy curls rest to absorb the seasonings and broth?
@@debrt1523 Good question. Depends on the dish… for example, for a “beef” or “chick-in” stir fry we use a powdered broth, Montreal steak seasoning, poultry seasoning, beet root powder, garlic powder and onion powder (all based on which “meat” you’re doing) with a smallish amount of water and a few drops of gravy master for the beefy one for color. Rest time 5 mins max. The curls will soak it up almost instantly. For a chick-un salad, the poultry seasoning, garlic powder, broth powder and onion powder get delivered by the vegan mayo. Don’t forget the pickles, celery, onion and Tbs of oil for that one! No rest time needed of course. Mangia!
@@garya3056 dude thank you so much. Gonna try everything you said💪
@@xLegendaryPictures enjoy!
100% agree, I saw this method a few weeks ago and it has changed how I work with TVP,. I enjoy it so much more now.
Soy curls are actually among the most known and cheapest veggie proteins where i live, to the point that we used them instead of meat when i was growing up in poor family in the early 90s. I "rediscovered" them when i went vegan and they're still among my favorite because of how simple they're to cook with and how tasty they are.
Supermarkets in the DC area do not carry them. I have to order them from Amazon. Where do you live? :)
Must be in the Eugene/South Willamette Valley area?
@@TKevinBlanc A rough equivalent is textured vegetable protein. Usually just soy protein isolate, but some versions include wheat gluten as well.
Soy Curls are a pretty distinct product, made of whole soy flour. I'm pretty sure Butler Foods is the only manufacturer in North America. But you'll find extremely similar products across East Asia, so if you live in an area with a large Asian diaspora, it should be easy enough to find.
@@luke_fabis They are not made like soy chunks, which are made from soy flour. Soy curls are a totally different product -- they are made from the whole bean, and water.
When I get my soy curls I empty a bag in a bowl and separate them into 3 different categories. Whole pieces, smaller pieces and crumbles. I put them into separate containers and depending on the recipe I'm making, I use the appropriate size. It's easier than having to break them down each time.
If you separate like that, how long can you hang onto them before needing to cook? For example, can you keep the small pieces for a long time stocking up?
@@hxcnoah for a while. I usually freeze them. But have kept them in my pantry for a while.
@@hxcnoah no need to freeze them. Keep them in ziplocks in a dry dark pantry. Have kept them for months that way. 😎
@@hxcnoah Whatever the expiration on the package says, assuming you're not cooking them. They're dehydrated.
Soy Curls is definitely in my top 3!! This all looks great dude!
Love your channel bro 👍
What are the other 2? TVP? Tofu? Tempeh?
I’ve had great luck with using a salad spinner to “spin” out the liquid after soaking the soy curls.
Good idea
i would think maybe shove them into a tofu press would work? i’m gonna try it when i get my hands on these
Instead of tbrowing all that lovely water away why not throw your seasons ,soya sauce ( whatever you use) into the boiling water & stick it in a bowl with a lid & just use less so it absorbs every bit of water .I.did this tonight in fact because I.wanted a beefy type flavour I also put 1tsp of Marmite in ut & tomato puree...it was the best I' ve eaten because the soya meat was so tender ,probably like slow cooked meat .Give it a go ,I even microwaved it for 5 mins to speed absorbtion up .
Be careful with black vinegar, they are not all made equal. The rice variant is more of a dipping sauce, the grain variant is much stronger, smokier, etc.
can you recommend a brand that would be as clean as possible, without a lot of additives & preservatives etc?
@@sarahdee374 Ok, I've tried multiple times to recommed one now, each time I give a link youtube deletes the link to Amazon! So, I used Hengshun Zhengjiang Vinegar 3 Years Aged. It's a mix of rice and bran, no additions. There are true grain ones out there but I've struggled to find them.
@@JoannaHammond Thank you so much friend for your efforts, much appreciated!! I'll try to get my hands on some.
@@JoannaHammond Great tip!
Sauce Stache :"I need to figure out how they make these"
Manufacturer sweating and in panic mode now
I am sure its labor intensive, but simple, like making soy milk from scratch. So glad to open a bag! Wish they were organic tho.
For the BBQ sandwich I highly recommend after rehydrating the soy curls give them a few pulses in a food processor so it's more like a chopped bbq. That's my favorite way to do it. They're also great for "chicken" enchiladas!
The $70 huge box from Butler is absolutely worth it, it's as economical a bulk protein as tofu, and shelf stable.
I agree. I put meal size amounts into smaller food saver bags and seal before even using. They are less expensive, last much longer, and make it easier to just grab a pack and prepare.
Soy curls! A suggestion… after you have infused some flavor and the. Squeezed the fluid out…
Coat in a corn starch or potato… and do a “flash” fry in some avocado oil… and they have a nice “crunchy and chewy” texture…
I did a Mongolian Beef style recipe…
@Chris Cunningham....mmmm I'd try that...sounds Delicious!
I've been using Soy Curls since they came on the market. Here's a couple of tips based on several years playing around with this great product.
1. Buy for less money from Butler Foods!
2. Presoak, drain, press and THEN add your seasonings along with whatever tasty meat flavoring. Curls get more saturated with flavor and spices don't go down the drain with that soaking water!.
3. While wet shred them on lowest speed in a half filled Vitamix and they become like shredded chicken! Then add your spices/etc.
4. Try making them in a air fryer. Spray with a little oil and watch them carefully. Probably no more than 10 minutes max to get nice and crispy. I happen to have a Breville Toaster Oven that has the air fryer function so BIG RACK and burgers are easy! Put them on a piece of parchment and spray with a spritz of avocado oil.
5. Buy the big bags, 12 pounds, and store them in a freezer and they will last much longer also.
6. Egg replacers works to bind the shredded curls and you don't need the chemicals. Add a touch of cooked brown rice when you shred damp curls which also binds the curls to hold together.
7. Add celery and onion when you shred for added flavor.
8. GOOD EATS. ENJOY!
YUM!!!
Thank you!!!!!
I used butler soy curls for the first time today for burgers!As my binder I made my own bread crumbs out of 4 toasted 9 grain bread slices. I soaked the whole 8 oz bag in water for about 15 minutes(no spices) drained and then added spices ,bread crumbs ,onion and food process the mixture.Transfer to a large mixing bowl and further blend with an immersion blender .This texture helps form the mixture into perfect burgers.I then air fry at 350 degrees X 20-23minutes.Fantastic and my favorite plant-based burgers 😋‼️
Soy curls are amazing! They're also supper affordable and widely available where I live, so I really appreciate these simple recipes!
We get the biggest box directly from Butler haha 😆
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Loved the magic mushrooms edit
0:40 I mean, this is truly one of the most fitting sponsors :D Super happy you were able to partner with a company which you genuinely like and have used for some time already!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
@@jamesglenn6731 Good, thank you ;) Hope you're having a nice day as well
@@margarett_b I'd like to know more about you if you don't mind 🙂
@@jamesglenn6731 Sorry, I do ;)
@@margarett_b my email is on my channel
I’m getting so many ideas. I can make a lot of traditions Mexican dishes I grew up with vegan. I love it!
I LOVE soy curls. I use it in a lot of Asian "beef" stir frys using the Asian vegan beef broth powder and soy sauce. Absolutely delicious.
I am really happy you had such a great time and liked all the concepts so much! I hope to be able to get my hands on soy curls one day :D
.
Lots of love! Have a great day or night!
Been a fan of Butlers for a while. I make buffalo style "chicken" wraps with them. They crisp well in an air fryer too.
That sounds lovely ,sorry I' m from the UK & quite a few things he mentions here are virtually imposeible to buy.Mind me asking what spices do you use in your wraps ??x
I commented last week and requested a pulled pork. And here it is. Thank you so much this is amazing. I will be giving this a try later this week.
The burgers look so good! Soy curls have long been on my "I need to try this" list but I still haven't gotten around to using them. I'll be on maternity leave soon so I may be making all of your recipes. 😁
Yeah they were for me too.... im so glad I tried them because now they are some of my favorite things!!! and congratulations!!!!
They are fantastic for tacos. Super easy too, basically no effort.
I used to hate them because of how soy-y they taste but having found a brand that makes you *boil* them in broth/sauce for 10 minutes I´m a convert. Cheap, versatile, delicious, great texture, and doesn´t even need cooling!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
if you hydrate with the boiling water for 10 minutes then squeeze it out and then add your spices you don't waste your spices.then rinse soy curls under running water, squeeze out. it will help remove soy taste.
but what I've been doing is that in my spices and my broth to the water if needed and pouring that over the soy curls. then I drain and save the broth which is boiling hot and a mason jar and when the button pops I put it in the fridge and reuse it.
As a former Seventh-Day Adventist (and I CANNOT stress the word "former" enough) I am quite familiar with Loma Linda products. For the most part they're pretty tasty.
Why former?
The Loma Linda canned hot dogs are pretty good - once you rinse off the liquid from the cans. To me it stinks to high heaven.
u left the church? i was raised in it, left for 8 years. then came back. but not part of the general conference churches. because theyre doing some wicked stuff. nice to see some other sda's(or former). no hate.
@@kylegraham8049 yes, why former?
@@jandellko me as well...but not raised in it, but am also back just not part of the GC churches. Am with those who are part of the Pioneer SDAs who observe the the original teachings and non trinitarian...❤
I'll take everything thank u!🤣 They all look so good!!
I don’t like brands giving them such names, it takes all seriousness if we want vegan products to be more serious, don’t y’all think ?? fakeMeat?!? I’d call it MeatVegan or MeatyVegan or something but never FakeMeat!!!!! That can even decrease sales for their own sake !!!
@@Nclk619 I’m a Virgo, we are the masters of Gemini, we are the masters of FAKE, we are the only ones who understand fake is both good & bad so please don’t come at me trying to teach me when fake is wrong and right Ok?

@@tristanjanniere7352 yeah
I'd be interested in seeing a longer kind of vlog style video that shows some of the trial and error that goes into your recipes, sort to show the thought process and your approach when something doesn't work. Love this channel!
Genius. I wish my local Asian stores stocked this... will see if I can talk them into it :) Can't wait to try that burger!
I just ordered some soy curls for the first time and I'm looking for recipes! Excited to try them!
Always here for a new upload getting inspired by you 😊🤗
I'm glad to see people are finding soy curls, I've been enjoying them for years. My impression is that they are way less processed than tvp and they use the whole soybean. Great recipe options here! Thanks!
Came from Instagram! Loved the video!!! I loveeee soy curls. They make good Philly sandwiches.
I love the use of the processor after hydrating. If ground up dry, it ends up with too much powder. Recipe looks great!
Boom!!! I explained that in the video, but ended up cutting it out because I rambled about texture and variation hahaha but I'm so glad that at least someone understands why I blended after!
@@SauceStache Next time, keep it ALL in ;-)
Awesome! I was never excited about soy curls prior to this video! Also the sponsor is so perfect it felt seamlessly like part of the video
Ooh, I love these recipes - these look amazing and really simple! And I’d definitely be interested in more soy curl recipes! Out of curiosity, does the agave add much flavor-wise? Or is it only there for sweetness? I’m trying to avoid agave myself because of the way it metabolizes similar to HFC, but before looking for an alternative wanted to know if there was a flavor aspect I might be missing out on.
Soy curls are amazing. A really good Texas Red Chili recipe with soy curls would be great for winter!! Thanks for the vids man!
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
I discovered soy curls last Fall, they are amazing and thanks for the ideas !
I want to try all of these recipes! They all look so yummy!
Only two minutes in and already you're rocking two of my favorite things. Soy curls and "no chicken" better than bullion. Mmmm. That combo makes killer chik salad, buffalo chik, soup curry and stir fry add ins... fun fact, soy curls are also among the healthiest of meat subs because they are made from whole soybeans, like tofu and tempeh, and minimally processed. What's not to love!!
I am excited that you tried soy curls! I love them! You honestly don't need half an hour of soaking, unless the sot curls aren't super fresh. 10 or 15 minutes will do with hot water.
Looks Amazing as always 🥰 I love using them to make chicken and broccoli, or chicken salad, but never thought to try soy curls as a burger, this is next on my list.
I need to try soy curls! I love how you changed up the texture of them for the burger 😋 Another amazing video, thankyou, big fan from the UK here 🇬🇧
Good video! Have used the curls before and yes a good product. Bought some black vinegar a couple days ago and can't wait to try it.
I've been waiting so long for the Butler Soy Curls... Thank you. 😀
Thank you!!! haha I dont know whats taken me so long, but I am definitely going to be messing with these a LOT more
@@SauceStache I'm happy to hear that. I can't wait for the Butler Soy Curls playlist. 😄
I have been meaning to try soy curls your yummy recipes just pushed me to order some
Brilliant! I am SUPER excited to try that! I used Soy Curls once and was clueless about their incredible versatility at the time. However between this vid and The Burger Dude vid's I am ready to try again! Thank you! 😊😊👍👍
Are burgers from a can any more weird than burgers from a corpse?
A lot LESS weird haha
Soy curls are amazing and versatile. I like that they’re a whole food made from the whole soybean.
Love this video thanks for sharing!!!!!!
I've used soy curls extensively for several (primarily Asian inspired) recipes and they do absorb flavors exceptionally well and have just the right texture.. They are also the only minimally processed meat analogue of which I'm aware.
Never thought of using soy curls for a burger but they look so good! I really need to get me some methylcellulose
It was WILD how good those burgers came out! I'm stoked to keep trying new things with them!!
I love soy curls and thank you for sharing your recipes.
“Not that kind of magic mushroom” 😆😆
I just found a bag of soy curls at a small store I had never into before. Then I didn't know what to do with them and just by chance I saw your video. So I'm going to try the chicken salad tonight. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the burger recipe. I made it and it is really tasty. Great flavor. My wife said best veggie burger ever. I also froze and used later and worked just fine.
Im really enjoying these recipes. :]
I've never seen soy curls before but will look out for them now at the asian market. Thos burgers looks amazing
Been working with soy curls for about 4-5 recipes now keep thinking can I do this different form it into chicken, burgers, beef cubes etc and then here comes the mad scientist sauce stache! Awesome video can wait to mess around with this now thank you.
Been using soy curls for a few years now and absolutely love them! They're my go-to for nearly everything!
Soy curls are 100% whole soy, fiber and all. I'm glad you finally featured them. Even if you're trying to eat whole-food plant based, they meat the criteria (pun intended.)
Also... I'll bet wheat gluten would compliment the protein in the soy better than pea protein does....
@Kevin, yes or even use chickpea flour
I finally tried soy curls recently and theyre so good, I need to try making some pulled pork with them 😍 I like that they use the whole soybean to make these too
I literally just bought my first bag of Butler Soy Curls at the store Yesterday! … Now I know what to do with them!!! THANKS 🙏 😁
If you are sauce stache, that either makes us the stachers or the saucers 🤣 excellent video once again thank you 🥰
I make fake chicken salad with Butlers soy curls, chopped apple, celery and toasted pecans. They are so versatile! We love them.
Look delicious! 😋Greetings from Italy 🤗
Greetings!!! Thank you
ordering from them now. have you done salsa recipes?
10:10 Such an awesome idea! I blended soy chunks a few times (as mentioned before, the soy curls I can get are just garbage, same for soy chunks, so they needed to be used up somehow) for chilli but never thought about making burgers/meatballs with it - it is essentially using it like tvp which (we know well from your tvp burger recipe) works very well :D
You can order Butler Soy Curls from Amazon. Then straight from Butler in large quantities once you've realized you can't live without them.
@@TKevinBlanc Yes, but they are more expensive there plus the delivery fees are just way to high to justify that for now ;P
Yes! Soy curls are amazing! Sesame “beef” and chickun noodle soup are two of my favorite uses. I never thought of going the burger route! Clever!
Mark, excellent video, I use the soy curls for jerky, love to see your take on Butler soy curls jerky.
I just ordered 3 bag of soy curls and can't wait for them to get here!
I am your new follower. Amazing information.😘
Hi!!! Thank you so much
I also add dry soy curls dry right into stews. Works great.
i actually make sausage patties with the soy curls last week i ran out of the crumbles so i got creative it was amazing.
Would you share your recipe? … I have totally been wanting to make sausage patties!
Second video in a row where showing the texture close-up after breaking open the product would have been super helpful. Nice vid.
Hi Mark. Any ideas on how to make diy soy curls or a decent substitute. We dont have soy curls here in south africa. Enjoying your book btw. Thanks
Looks amazing and easy to make! Ever consider opening a restaurant chain? 😝
I absolutely LOVE soy curls!! They’re cheap, delicious, and just a freakin fun food. Would love more soy curl recipes!
This looks so amazing :)
Try the Viet Vegan Mongolian "beef" recipe on UA-cam. She uses the soy curls. I felt like I was eating the real deal from a Chinese restaurant. It literally brought tears because I really missed eating this type of Chinese food. Going to try to make sweet and sour "pork", orange "chicken", etc.
I absolutely looove soy curlers!!!
I had the privilege of meeting Mr Butler at a convention, maybe 17 years ago. They were next to our booth and were giving soy curlers samples. They prepared them in a simple yet very tasty recipe. Sautéed with some onions and seasoning. That's all. It was delicious! I used them ever since. I learned to incorporate them into many different recipes. I always have them on hand, wouldn't wanna be without. In my opinion, best meat replacement. GMO free and only one ingredient, whole soy! Can't get better than that!
I would love to see you use soy curls again, I feel like you could use them in a killer vegan clams recipe 😋
These recipes look amazing! I wish my country had more food options like these soy curls, black vinegar and black strap molasses. We have soy cubes here, maybe they are similar, I used them before as fake meat and they were nice, maybe I can find better ways to season them and make stir fries
I love eating Jerky, I’m definitely checking Fake Meats out!
you're going to love them!! its like my new favorite site haha
So trying the burger one...love using soy curls to make a chicken salad...sooo good!! Cheers!!
Looks great! I'm excited to make the burgers. Can I skip the aquafaba powder in the burgers or use something else in place of it? Thank you!
I recognized the Butler Foods soy curl as soon as I saw the title photo. I may have a soy curl addiction. 😆 They are absolutely the best ingredient to keep on hand.
Where has this been all my lifeeee😋
Wow!! Looks delicious! I’ve always wanted to try soy curls. 😋
We buy the case of individual bags directly from Butler foods. I agree with other comments that soaking them in water, squeezing out the water, then continuing with sauce, seasoning etc makes them so much better. Made a soy curl french dip sandwich the other day and they soaked up the broth when cooking so well but still hold their texture.
I would love to see you recreate the Mc Rib with Soy Curls
Great product. And easy. That’s a real plus
Thank you!!
This is awesome! Where can I get that mushroom powder?
I love soy curls. I use these in my winery for my banh mi and bbq chikun sandwiches. People love it.
Hi, new subscriber here. Looking forward to trying the soy curls. I was wondering if there was something I could use to replace the mushroom powder with. Thank you ✌
You would need something with a lot of umami kick to replace it. Maybe something like tomato powder, tomato paste, miso paste, or maybe MSG. It just depends on your preference and what you have access to.
Wow I knew soy curls were versatile but I never thought you could make burgers🍔 with them. That was pretty amazing 👍👌
Soy curls make great veggie chik salad sandwich filling too :)
My local Asian supermarket has curls but they look more like soy ties. I've tried them just like the first demonstration and they're awesome. I haven't tried them in a burger yet.
I always shake the dust off TVPs and soy curls. Really makes a huge difference in flavor.
I agree I really love the Loma linda stuff
10:57 "Well, that's it. Here we go. This is our dinner"
Poor woman... Where's the vegetables? Where's the hamburger dressing? Where's the french fries? Where's the beverage? (c;
K E T C H U P
Those burgers are insane jeez I have to try that I have like 7 bags of soy curls I LOVE those things
They are awesome!!!
Looks amazing!
