Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 250°F and line a large baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  2. 2Cover soy curls with boiling water and allow to soak for 10 minutes to rehydrate.

  4. 4Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
  5. 5Pour the marinade over the soy curls in a large mixing bowl and toss well to combine.
