Soy Curls Vegan Chicken and Broccoli

Ingredients

4 oz soy curls
1 lb broccoli florets boiled or roasted
2 tbsp tapioca flour (or cornstarch) optional

the sauce

6 tbsp tamari
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar
4 cloves garlic grated
1.5 tsp fresh ginger grated
1 tsp sesame seeds + more for garnish
1 tsp hot sauce or red chili flakes

Instructions

Place the dehydrated soy curls in a medium bowl and cover with hot water. Allow to rehydrate for 20 minutes. Drain then use your hands to squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible.
Transfer the rehydrated soy curls to a dry bowl and sprinkle with the tapioca or cornstarch. Toss to coat well.
Transfer the soy curls to the basket of an air fryer and shake off any excess tapioca. (this step is easier done over the sink).
Preheat the air-fryer to 375”F and air-fry the soy curls for 13 minutes until crisp around the edges. (Alternatively you can skip the air-fryer step and bake the soy curls instead ).

make the sauce:

Whisk all the sauce ingredients together and bring to a simmer in a medium size skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds just enough to tame the garlic then add the air fried soy curls. Toss to coat well in the sauce.

the broccoli:

While the soy curls are cooking make sure to steam or boil the broccoli florets until al dente. Drain well and add them to the pan with the soy curls. Toss to coat well in the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and extra chili flakes.
Serve with your choice of brown rice, coconut spinach rice, mashed potatoes or noodles.
