Servings: 4
For the marinade:
- 2 cup(s) warm vegetable broth
- 2 lemons zested and juiced (about 6 tablespoons juice)
- 6 clove(s) garlic minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoon(s) agave or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
- 4 oz dry soy curls (2 cups)
For frying the soy curls:
- 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour (gluten-free if preferred)
- 2 tablespoon(s) light oil (such as vegetable or canola)
- 1/2 cup(s) plant-based milk (see notes)
- chopped parsley for garnish (optional for lemon soy curls)
Plant-based milk: I like to use an extra rich plant milk such as canned coconut milk or cashew cream, but any plant milk will work here.
Make ahead: Allow the prepared dish to cool before storing in the fridge for up to 3 days. Gently reheat in a pot on the stove, adding a splash of water, vegetable broth, or plant-based milk to loosen the sauce if needed.
Soy Curl Substitute: while soy curls can be easy to find in some parts of the world, they can be very difficult to find, or very costly in other places. Soy Chunks, Soya Chunks, TVP Chunks are all basically the same thing, just in different shapes, so try looking out for these intead. You can also substitute soy curls for extra-firm tofu or your favorite store-bought vegan meat alternative. There is no need to soak tofu or vegan meat alternatives so you can skip to step 2.
