Black Pepper Chikin Soy Curls

This Black Pepper Soy Curls recipe needs just 1 pan and 30 minutes. It’s Asian Black pepper Chikin but vegan! It is a super easy dinner that has a delicious flavor the whole family will love!

I used to love black pepper chicken or Sichuan pepper chicken in Chinese and inspired restaurants. It usually is a popular favorite amongst many—so I thought why not test out my own vegan-friendly inspiration with soy curls? Soy curls are a great food staple for vegetarians and vegans because they are protein-based and you can do so much with them. Spice it up or marinade them, bake them, pan fry them, shred them, crisp them.

This recipe requires minimal and simple ingredients but it doesn’t lack flavor. The pepper, the sauce and the crunchy veggies are just perfect. This super easy recipe will be a new go-to favorite if you often find yourself with a busy schedule and need something quick to whip up.

What Are Soy Curls?

Soy curls are made of soy beans. The process to create soy curls comes from boiling and dehydrating whole soybeans. In turn, this process gives this vegan protein a chicken-like texture. They are often used as meat alternatives. Butler soy curls can be found at most health food stores like Whole Foods.

Indo Chinese food is a big category of its own in Indian cuisine. There are several dishes that make up the cuisine. The dishes are known for being heavily influenced by chinese dishes and then they are amped up with additions like garlic, ginger, green chile, spices and more.

Hakka noodles are a staple side that goes well with any of the Indo Chinese veggie mains like Cauliflower gobi Manchurian (also in book 1), or chilli tofu paneer. To make this into a meal, add some baked tofu or your favorite vegan meat substitute marinated in soy sauce, minced ginger, and garlic.

I like to make these Hakka noodles with peppers, onion, carrots and cabbage and any other veggies that I have. The sauces used are pantry friendly, some soy sauce, vinegar and Sambal oelek.
