Ingredients

2 cups dry soy curls (4 oz)
1 cup vegan-friendly BBQ sauce
1 - 4 tablespoons Jerk seasoning (mild or spicy)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon light oil (such as canola or vegetable)
chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Add the soy curls to a medium bowl and cover with warm water. Let soak for 10 minutes to soften. Once soaked, drain the water and squeeze the soy curls to get out the excess water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, jerk seasoning, and lime juice. If you are unsure how much jerk seasoning to add, you can start with 1 tablespoon and add to taste. I like my soy curls very spicy and flavourful so I add all 4 tablespoons. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the drained soy curls and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to brown.
Add ¼ cup of the jerk BBQ sauce and stir to coat the soy curls. Continue to cook for another 3 - 5 minutes until some spots are blackened.
Stir in another ½ cup of jerk BBQ sauce (or to taste) and remove from the heat. Serve hot with the remaining jerk BBQ sauce on the side, and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Notes

BBQ Sauce: Lots of store-bought BBQ sauce is already vegan, just check the ingredients to make sure. You can also make your own homemade BBQ sauce using the recipe in my cookbook Fuss-Free Vegan (page 209).

Oil-free: for oil-free, omit the oil and instead use a good non-stick pan and a splash of water or broth if needed to fry the soy curls. Also make sure your BBQ sauce is oil free.
