We literally made this for tonight’s dinner and yes it’s only been posted 4 hours ago but holy crap this is good. The white sauce was amazing. The red sauce as prescribed is HOT! Ease into that one

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Nice!!!

[@keaneferretti1262]

@@TheeBurgerDude oddly we had everting in stock so just went for it. Keep it up.

[@mattwgreen12]

haha yeah I had to add some maple syrup to the red sauce so that it wouldn't burn so much

[@SooperToober]

Slurp😅

[@pathan1515]

I ordered soy curls off Amazon the day you posted this, and since receiving them I’ve made the recipe 3 times. I agree, probably the tastiest thing on your channel.

[@ValseInstrumentalist]

This kind of meal is my single favorite dish of all time. What a combination of flavors and fresh veggies.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

RIGHT?

[@PoorDunce]

I've just recently been turned to the wonders of soy curls as a protein source for weightlifting, and I'm definitely gonna have to give this marinade a shot

this looks so good! cannot wait to try this for myself! I have had the original so i am interested to see how this compares. I have high hopes!!! Looks wise, you got it spot on! I honestly had to do a bit of a double take because it looks so much like the original. great video!!

[@sharit7970]

This is going on the menu this week for sure. I might sub the rice with riced cauliflower with the same seasoning. Can't wait.

Doing God's work as always, Burger Dude. This looks amazing! 😍 Can't wait to make it!

[@betty8955]

This looks delicious!

[@ambergarrett7781]

Definitely trying this soon. If you’re ever in NYC, Vegan Grill (in the East Village Bronx, and Williamsburg) has a chick’n and rice that tastes VERY close to the real deal as I remember it.

[@ambergarrett7781]

I'm sure you were waiting with bated breath to hear how it turned out when I made it. Well, I made it last night and I have to say it is PRETTY DARN CLOSE to what I remember Halal Guys tasting like. Honestly, I think the rice is even better - it's the best rice I've ever tasted, period.

[@KaitlinBell]

Halal guys is me and my BFs favorite! Sadly the closest one to us now is the on in Glendale which is still an hour away, so I definitely needed this!!!

[@billjpark]

Have been wanting to make this since we first saw the video and finally made it tonight. Everything was amazing. It's honestly hard to pick out the best part. The sauces were amazing and the soy curls with marinade were nuts but the rice might have stole the show. So so good.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

NICE! Glad you dug it!

[@ticoon23]

I made this and it was absolutely amazing. The marinade for the soy curls was hella delicious. 10/10

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Hell yes!

[@Natalie.Fulton]

Looks tasty! You have just convinced me to experiment the world of soy curls

[@LivTii]

Absolutely blown away at this one :O

[@Uskotopo]

Love your content! I never liked the taste and feel of soy curls before, but following your recipes they've turned into some of the best food I've had. Keep up the good work!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome thanks! Yeah the first couple times I tried them I didn't like them either, you really gotta do it a certain way to get the best texture / flavor! The marinade is a great way to get that browning too, so I'm glad I stumbled on that!

[@ptrcktrnr]

Same, years ago we tried them and were disappointed in the taste/texture. Now we make sure to rehydrate and squeeze before seasoning and it has become a staple. We order in bulk from butler directly and freeze them.

[@TXRhody]

@@ptrcktrnr Do you really have to freeze them if they're dehydrated? Do they go stale?

[@SooperToober]

Salivating

[@thousandsunnysink]

[@Derives20]

For a limited time halal guys did come out with a fully vegan white sauce.

[@ShahTalks]

Both Vegan and Halal nice! Then again all Vegan food is halal .

[@VerdantJedi]

Amen

[@dillsha9599]

Not if it contains alcohol :)

[@adi2820]

This plus homemade pitas is one of my new favorite dinners. We've had it three times since I found your recipe and I'm in love! I use a mixture of wild, brown, and white rice because that's what I prefer, and use fresh herbs in the white sauce when I have them, but the spice blends and marinade are perfect as-is. (If you're looking for an easy homemade pita, search Alexandra Cooks pitas. They're very simple and forgiving and puff perfectly every time.)

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome! I’ve been meaning to make pitas from scratch so thanks!

[@doloresatrian4309]

Yum Yum! I will make it

[@meatflake]

It's amazing what you can do with soy curls!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

TRUTH!!

[@Amy-ly3uq]

I finally got a chance to make this and it was delicious. Even my non vegan husband really liked it (especially the red sauce). I had never used soy curls before but I will definitely use them on a regular basis. They are so good (I’m sure the marinade helped) and since I have Celiac Disease I’m limited on vegan meat options since many have gluten. My husband had to check out Halal Guys menu after we discovered we aren’t too far from one but apparently even the rice isn’t gluten free. I was very happy with my home version I don’t think I’m missing out not being able to try the real thing.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome! Glad this gives you so many options!

[@mychickbadd123]

This looks absolutely heavenly! Def going to try this next! How long would you say these sauces would last in the fridge? 🧐 (I want to possibly make a double or triple batch since it looks so good)

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Nice! I would say probably 5 days, a week at max? I'm not sure to be honest, I still have them and they taste good but not as fresh, losing a bit of their flavor, but not going bad yet.

[@willd6215]

Boy oh boy yum

[@wylanvallotton4462]

Correct me if it's already been done, but I want to see you find a way to turn soy curls into vegan pork rinds/chicharones

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Ohhhh that would be interesting!

[@wylanvallotton4462]

@@TheeBurgerDude visually they look so much like them, and before rehydrated they have a texture that could become similar. I feel like you gotta rehydrate them With a lot of fat tho. Maybe coconut or avocado oil? A spicey version would probably come out the best, cuz that spicy seasoning hides a world of hurt.

[@ptrcktrnr]

@@TheeBurgerDude there's a vegan place out on Sepulveda that makes chicharrones that way for tacos or burritos. El Cocinero is the name.

[@israelchisem8244]

I've actually seen an amazingly easy way to make vegan pork rinds with just rice paper. When you deep dry dry rice paper if puffs up into a crispy rind just like pork rinds to be seasoned as you wish. 😁

@@israelchisem8244 those are good, but I'm specifically curious about soy curls

I thought they use sumac? I'm sure they usually use middle eastern spices as well. Looks yummy though

@@TheeBurgerDude 😎 It looks great. Was it enjoyable for you?

[@christopherstoeffel4811]

Hi Thee Burger Dude. I've been inspired to start using these soy curls. I was wondering how long they will last in the fridge after you rehydrate them? I was hoping to "meal prep" a big ol' container of them to use in various recipes throughout the week. Does that seem feasible or will they get yucky?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Hmm I would say 3-5 days max. After that they might get kinda off I think.

[@christopherstoeffel4811]

@Thee Burger Dude 🥰 gotcha thank you!!

[@mrdankhimself]

I’ve got a bag of curls ready and waiting! How long can they marinate in the refrigerator for before they turn south?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Not sure but I had them in there for over a day and they were fine!

[@yuhmin5365]

Will you open a fast food restaurant? 💖💖🌱🌱

[@M_Ryze]

Hey is the white sauce actually close to the actual or no? A lot of times the copy cat recipes really don't get it right.

[@JacKAsterisK]

This looks great! I noticed you soaked the soy curls directly in broth this time, is there a reason it works for this dish?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

So I think the issue I had was not discarding the broth and using it again. It works great to flavor the soy curls but the liquid you squeeze out has a weird after taste to me. So it’s good for flavoring and rehydrating but after that I will discard it.

[@JacKAsterisK]

@@TheeBurgerDude Oh gotcha, good to know. Thanks!

[@boxman888]

I noticed the white sauce just says vinegar, so I tried with white wine vinegar, it was really tasty sauce and I'm keeping it in the arsenal, but which vinegar do you recommend?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I used white but I think any vinegar would probably be fine!

[@kennethmaese4622]

Huh? I thought you had once said not to rehydrate soy curls in broth, to only use water?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I think rehydrating works, my only issue was reusing the water that you squeeze out for the simmering broth since it has a kinda of weird flavor after it's been squeezed.

That could work, roasted bell peppers might do the trick.

[@lossm24]

This is an actual question, not some weird critique or trolling lol: Why did you wash the rice 3-4 times? I usually just put it in a sieve and use the sprayer attachment on it for like 30 seconds. I'm genuinely curious if I'm doing something wrong in a culinary or food safety regard.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I suppose it’s a preference thing but unwashed rice will be stickier and clumpier, and even have a kinda of gelatinous texture sometimes. Washing keeps it fluffy but not sticky.

[@lossm24]

@@TheeBurgerDude that makes a lot of sense! Thank you

[@scerb100]

It’s standard in cultures where rice is a prevalent food to wash rice at least 3 times. You’re washing away excess starches and coatings that we don’t want. In the west, because rice isn’t a big part of the culture in the same way as basically everywhere else, AND with the loss of traditional preparation methods for grains in general, washing rice is not a well known step. Many people also buy par-boiled rice (basically rice in a box) so washing isn’t necessary. But it is and will make a difference in the way the rice comes out and your digestion of it.

[@TXRhody]

What?! No mushroom seasoning?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Feel free to add it, but didn't need it suprisingly!

[@arfriedman4577]

Where I live, the halal guys were nothing spectacular either. The rice was good. I'd rather get a gyro from a Greek place. I think the price was ok. I can't recall.

Most vegan food is halal www.iamgoingvegan.com/is-all-vegan-food-halal/

Alot of the reasons is due to halal meat not being available in the US so alot of Muslims in the US just go vegan since it's easier
