Method

Preparation of Crispy Soy Curls

  1. 1

    Rehydrate Soy Curls

    In a large bowl, pour the vegetable broth over the soy curls. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes until they expand and become soft.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix together cornstarch, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat Soy Curls

    Drain the soy curls and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the soy curls in the dry mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry Soy Curls

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the coated soy curls in batches for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Spiced Rice

  1. 5

    Cook Rice

    In a saucepan, combine white rice, water, cumin, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Preparation of Cabbage Salad

  1. 6

    Mix Salad Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine shredded green cabbage and grated carrot. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine.

Preparation of Guacamole

  1. 7

    Make Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados with lime juice and salt to taste. Stir in chopped cilantro.

Preparation of Sauces

  1. 8

    Mix Sauces

    In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise with black chili paste. Set aside. Have the black chili oil and sriracha ready for drizzling.

Assembly
