Soy curl chicken-flavored pieces on a salad
These golden soy curl chicken bites are one of my favorite mock meats to keep around. They’re an easy swap in just about any chicken recipe, easy to season however you want, and they end up in basically everything here — salads, wraps, pasta, bowls… or honestly just eaten straight out of the skillet. 😄
If you’re new to soy curls, this is a really good starter recipe. The flavor is familiar, the texture is hearty without being weird, and the whole thing comes together with simple pantry ingredients.
