Kung Pao Soy Curls

I’m loving soy curls!  They are such a great vegetarian/vegan replacement for chicken and adapt beautifully in this Kung Pao Soy Curls recipe.

I rehydrated the soy curls, then browned them in a bit of sesame oil prior to stir frying the veggies in a wok.  Of course, you can always substitute tofu for the soy curls if you’d like.  Look how yummy this looks!   Just like chicken 🙂

I have not looked for soy curls in the grocery stores, I just order Butlers soy curls from Amazon. They work so well in all the Asian inspired dishes I’ve made so far.
