Vegan "Beef" & Broccoli that's BETTER Than Takeout!

[@itslina6500]

as someone who eats a ton of soy mock meat that needs to be hydrated, a very nice way to hydrate them to remove the soy "taste" is with boiling water, lemon juice and vinegar. allow them to soak for at least 25 minutes in the mix, and use the acids generously. then squeeze the liquid out, and rinse under running water, squeeze again and repeat this process about two times. it works for any preparation that requires soy curls or chunks!!

[@Rita_2307]

Thanks for this method 👍

[@soscarlet]

hiii what does using the acids generously mean? does that mean i save the liquid after squeezing it then use it in the recipe?

[@itslina6500]

@@soscarlet it just means using a lot! for a cup of soy i usually do am entire lemon squeezed and about 5 tablespoons of vinegar. that makes the soy really neutral in taste and ready to absorb any spices you use

Ty, needed this!

[@00CinderellaLover00]

Just made this. It was a huge hit! Where has this recipe been my whole adult life.

[@mirnasnewlife4108]

Good to know! Thank you!🙏👍😀 BTW, your name is so beautiful!🌷

[@jenniferknowles2023]

Beef and Broccoli used to be my favorite Chinese food dish before going off meat. I can't wait to try this, I have missed it so much!!! And I love to eat mine with rice and hot Chinese mustard.

[@sallyk1937]

I loved your sesame "chicken" takeout recipe, but this one was even more of a hit with the nonvegans in my household! Made it last night! Perfectly savory!

[@MaryDavidson911]

I make something similar to this with the soy curls. It’s called peppered “beef” and served on rice. Has lots of green bell peppers, onions and garlic with also soy sauce. Then use soy curls like you do here. It’s YUMMY. Soy curls are sooo good.

[@aliciagallucci414]

Just made this and it’s SO GOOD! I haven’t had “beef” flavored anything in years and it was just like I remembered but better! And also my first time trying soy curls and can’t wait to use them more. This is going to become a staple in my house- thank you thank you thank you!

[@jamarchy]

I love the plants in the background for the intro! The monstera plant is beautiful!

[@evosportychop8332]

Broccoli beef used to be my go to. I would always load up on the beef. So looking forward to making this.

[@ma1539ry]

Just got your cookbook and I love it. I felt like I was in such a rut with my cooking. Now I am inspired again. I also love your sheet pan recipe, please gives us more.

[@criscantin4993]

What a great and easy recipe! I find soy shreds at our local Asian market, which are very much like Butler's soy curls. They've got a slightly different texture, but cook the same way. This might be an option if you've got a local Asian market you shop from!

[@mirnasnewlife4108]

Hi Caitlin!🌷🙏 Pleasure to meet you. My name is Mirna I follow the Starch Solution. My daughter finally decided to go plant based. This is a perfect meal idea for us! 😍 Thank you!!!🌷🙏🤗

[@MelissaBluelyric]

My dad is old fashioned, can't let go of meat...and LOVED this!! Yay Cait - this was a total win 👌😍

[@freeman8128]

It is not "old fashioned" to include meat in ones diet, it is NORMAL and HEALTHY.

[@mikesnyder1788]

Sooooooo happy I stumbled across this recipe! Just recently discovered the soy curls and I am making more and more delicious dinners using this modest soy product. We no longer eat at Chinese restaurants (because of high oil content and because I suspect they use chicken broth in their dishes) and I really, really, really have missed this dish. So thank you ever so much for sharing your talents with a growing vegan community. Delicious!

[@mikesnyder1788]

Had this dish again tonight and it was even better! Love my soy curls!!!!!!!!

[@sunnyshealthcoaching]

I just received my soy curls and I'm excited to try this recipe! Thank you for all your wonderful tips and tricks!

[@kea4]

Thanks, Caitlin! Would also love to see a recipe for healthy apple crisp, another cozy favorite.

That sieve/bowl hack for removing extra liquid from the soy curls is freaking brilliant!!!

[@lauraclockadale438]

I just made this. It is deeeelicious, and looks awesome.

[@Inominifia]

I love overcooked broccoli when it's all soft hahaha

[@RogueAstro85]

Especially when there's a bit of char on it!

[@SuperTiny98]

Same! I guess I like it soft but not fully mushy but I really don't like crunchy vegetables lol

[@tofudoesntscream]

Definitely making this! I love your Chinese chicken takeout recipe 😍 I saw on another vegan YT channel that a good way to remove the soy taste from the curls is to sift out the dust/powder in a sieve when they’re still dry.

So because I have in my refrigerator I have vegan oyster sauce I added that in and also hoisin sauce. And some hot pepper flakes I like hot heat it was good

[@margarett_b]

I have never tried the original dish but I feel like this must be delicious :D Simple but flavourful and satisfying! I only wish I could get such awesome-shaped soy curls where I live. Honestly, the ones available here stay way to spongy :P Same when it comes to beef/chicken-like bullion. Impossible to get my hands on these! But I will probably invest one day and order some as there are so many amazing recipes of yours which would be even better if done to the T! . As always, than you for another tasty recipe idea! Hope you're staying safe and sending you all the love!

My soy curls from Amazon are coming in later today, I don’t have dark soy sauce is it ok to swap for regular low sodium soy sauce?? Thank you!

[@NatalieWisler]

I’ve never had soy curls before, are they really that good?!

[@silentbliss7666]

It's cheaper to make your own mock meat than buy from store, it has a meaty texture and absorb any flavours very well. High in protein but it is not a healthy ingredient though

[@bbmn590]

I recently got a 6 pack of soy curls, can't wait to try this later for dinner. :)

[@singer2be256]

could I use the dry ginger they sell in little bottles?

[@Shirmagedrusclau]

I don't use oil and I really limit my salt intake. Personally to put that tablespoon of oil in the pan and put the soy curls in there You're not even browning them or anything you should have just used a little bouillon

[@karim-zafer]

Impressive

Wow you really killed this 🤩

[@themagicknightress7132]

Soy curls are usually a chicken replacement not beef so that’s probably why.

[@jasmingrimaldo3370]

Isn’t “imitation beef broth” not vegan?

[@RogueAstro85]

It is vegan. That's why it's imitation and not actual beef broth.
