During this visit to Bean, I was with the same friend who has become a bit of a vegetarian plus an omnivore friend. While waiting on them, I shopped for jackfruit in their cool store. The associate there talked up the soy curls, and even though I didn't buy any at the time, she gave me a recipe sheet.
I was intrigued.
So, I decided to try the salad bowl topped with spicy soy curls and a side of blue cheesish dressing. Unbelievably good. That salad was loaded with every vegetable possible, including tofu and blackeyed peas. And the soy curls? Yummy chewiness with a nice spice. We also shared fried pickles and Southern style fried tofu with their version of Ranch dressing. We all loved the crispy, not greasy appetizers. The guys got the jackfruit tacos and were both impressed. The hard core carnivore said, "I never thought that vegan food could be so good."
And, you know what I did? I marched back in their store and bought some soy curls. Let's hope that I can do them as much justice.
