Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cup dried soy curls or pea protein curls
- 2 tbsp oil or annatto oil
- 1 shallot minced
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 and 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tsp sriracha or sweet chili sauce
- 1/8 tsp five spice powder
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch diluted in 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Soak the soy curls in warm water for 15-30 minutes or until the curls are fully rehydrated and tender. Drain and squeeze the curls to remove excess water. Rinse the curls and squeeze again.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced shallots and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
- Next, add the soy curls and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. In the meantime, whisk together the hoisin sauce, light soy sauce, coconut sugar, sriracha, and five-spice powder.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the curls with the sauce. Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Finally, pour in the dissolved cornstarch and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Serve hot over white rice, or with your favorite noodles!
- These char siu soy curls will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
