Soy curls are a product from Butler Foods. Not sure if there's a generic equivalent, I haven't found one. Not vegan, but I do try and limit my meat consumption and really love them.

- girvo 5y agoYeah the generic version is TVP, textured vegetable protein (made from processed soy). It comes in all kinds too: like those curls, slices that are more like beef slices for stir-fry, and mince-like granules for making "mince"! Its cheap as, and at tonnes of asian supermarkets or vegan stores. Rehydrate with beef-style or chicken-style stock and you're off to the races. Some of my friends have started using it to save money on meat despite not being vegan :)
- alwillis 5y agoTVP is made from soy isolates while Butler’s Soy Curls are made from whole soy beans. The texture of soy curls is closer to seitan than anything else made from soy. I had bbq soy curls for dinner earlier tonight. Apparently it’s possible to get a similar texture using tofu by freezing and thawing it twice: http://www.marystestkitchen.com/best-vegan-fried-chicken-gluten-free/ http://www.marystestkitchen.com/best-vegan-fried-chicken-glu.... I haven’t attempted this yet.
