Is it chicken? No! Steak? Hell, no! It’s SOY CURLS!!!
Not a fan of all the fake, expensive and overly processed vegan meats? Me neither. They’re not healthy and are little more than fat filled sodium slabs. So, let’s try something else. Butler Soy Curls!
These Quick and Easy BBQ Soy Curls are perfect for making fajitas, BBQ, sandwiches, stir fries, soups, or just eating out of the pan. NO JUDGEMENT HERE. So, let’s make’em.
What Are Soy Curls?
Soy Curls are the whole soybean. They’re minimally processed from non-GMO soybeans without all the chemical pesticides and crap.
Butler Soy Curls are a delicious low fat, cholesterol free and easy to prepare alternative to meat and meat alternatives. Pure and simple.
How To Prepare Soy Curls
One of the things I love most about soy curls is how easy they are to prepare. How easy? You simply soak them in a bowl of water for 10 minutes. Done.
No, really. That’s it.
How To Make Quick and Easy BBQ Soy Curls
After you’ve soaked the soy curls just drain the water.
Preheat a nonstick pan over low-medium heat. Add the soy curls, cover with my Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce, and cook until everything is completely heated.
How do they taste? Delicious! I LOVE them. Soy curls take on the flavor of whatever you cook them in. And, they have an awesome chewy texture that will satisfy any meat lover.
NOTE: I have 5 kids and this is one of their favorite things to eat.
Although I used BBQ sauce for this recipe, any of your favorite rubs or seasonings work just as well. So, maybe you start with BBQ sauce but feel free to branch out and get creative.
I have a feeling these soy curls will quickly find a place on your weekly menu rotation once you try them.
Where Can I Buy Soy Curls?
Most health food stores carry soy curls. But, I get mine at Amazon and buy them in bulk. They’re cheaper that way.

This recipe is amazing. Easy, quick, and loaded with flavor. Love your bbq sauce
Thank you!
Made this tonight. I found soy curls in the bulk section at MOMs Organic Market and only had 6 oz in my pantry but it was perfect. Loved the BBQ sauce too and so did hubby who is very picky about his BBQ sauce. 🙂 Served with coleslaw on Dave’s hamburger buns which are vegan. Used my Green Pan nonstick skillet. I think in another recipe you said how much you love your Green Pan skillet but the skillet link in this recipe is for another brand so guessing this recipe is older. Will definitely make again—huge hit and thanks so much—so easy and perfect!
So simple and yum. Use ‘em for everything, but we particularly love them on top of your creamed corn recipe with broccoli on top too. It’s heaven and we can’t believe how much we can eat because of the low calorie density. You are our WFPB savior LOL
So, Shane, I have discovered my favorite way to use this recipe. They are great right out of the pan, and in a sandwich, too. But I discovered that after leaving them in the fridge overnight, they are phenomenal in fried rice and they have the texture and taste of many of the Chinese chicken items. Can’t thank you enough for introducing me to these.
Have you ever soaked the soy curls in seasoned water? I’m thinking that would add another layer of flavor. Thoughts?
Great idea!!!
I finally got a bag of soy curls and made this recipe. It was super easy and we all loved it. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for the recipe!
Awesome!
Made these recently and husband and I both loved them on a hamburger bun with dill pickle. However after lunching on them three days in a row, I froze the remainder for another day. I hope they freeze well. You sold me on soy curls after trying your pepper steak recipe. Both recipes are easy and quick to make. Thanks.
We LOVE soy curls around here:) I have never frozen them because they don’t usually last that long around our house:) Happy New Year!
Closest thing to a real barbecue sandwich we’ve had in a long time. Delicious!
I make this recipe at least once a month, I love it! I tried sauteing an onion and bell pepper first and then the sauce with the curls. Best ever!!! Thank you for taking the time to share your incredible recipes and inspiring us to create our own.
This is outstanding!! I’ve made it for several people so far and they love it!!
So easy and fast. On my weekly rotation for sure.
Thank you so much, Diane!!! Blessings.
Going to be trying this for our yearly Father’s Day BBQ. My dad (who isn’t vegan) normally doesn’t like “mock meats”, but I have a good feeling that he might enjoy this on a fajita with some peppers and onions. Keep you posted!
Awesome, Joey! Hope it goes well. Be sure and fill me in. Peace.
This is very simple and yummy. Please I’m confused. Is it what they call soy chunks. Or chunks strips?. Is there any difference?
These go by “soy curls”. Different names for the same thing:)
Just picked up a bag of these but haven’t made them.
Do you just eat them on their own, or pair them with something like rice?
They make great tacos, sandwiches, or go great over rice. You can eat them on their own as well.
Just made this. Super simple obviously, and tastes pretty good, a lot like a chewy chicken breast I think.
