Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Soy curls
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 0.5 cups Coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons Sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the soy curls in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the soy curls and let them soak for 10 minutes to rehydrate. Drain and gently squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, sugar-free maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and xanthan gum until well combined. This is your keto teriyaki sauce.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rehydrated soy curls and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and slightly crispy.
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the soy curls. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the soy curls evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with cauliflower rice if desired for a complete keto-friendly meal.
