Love ban mi-I usually do tofu but excited to give this rendition a try- I pickle all the veg together and add jalapenos as well & add some sriracha to the aioli.
Made this today- marinade with regular black pepper and pickled carrots with how not to die’s date paste cause i didn’t have a sugar. Omnivore husband stole my test sandwich and would not give it back after tasting. This was my first soy curl recipe and I will 100% be making it again. Might have to try a sweet potato bun with scooped out insides next time
Wow, great looking sandwich! I will have to try soy curls. I do use TVP, my husband who is an omnivore loves it as a mock “meat sauce” I don’t cook animal products for him in the house much anymore except on holidays. I will have to start carrying my favorite condiments in my purse from now on when I go out to eat on the rare occasion. Hubby hates to eat in restaurants but I go with my friend once in awhile. Loved this episode, Chef AJ and Lauren! Thanks!
Put the vitamin in the sun and it will clean itself of the turmeric.
Liquid aminos do have a great deal of salt!
A version is made with steam pork and pate. I guess the soy curls mimic the thin slices of pork and the seasoning is similar to spices used for pate. I looked up vegan pate and saw a recipe using chickpeas and sunflower seeds. Having neither, I tried it with oatmeal and sesame seeds. I thought it came out well, but I'm not picky, lol. I grind the seeds in my coffee grinder, dump it out and then the oatmeal. The oats will pick up any oils left from the sesame seeds and clean up my grinder. Also, using oats will reduce the fat.
Another name for soy curls is dried bean curd. Most Asian stores should have it.
Chef AJ, I always enjoy it when Lauren Bernick is on the show! I am a member of PBNSG, courtesy of Cyd Notter, and I am thoroughly enjoying Lauren's interviews. I am so impressed to hear her work for them is voluntary. I enjoy your rapport with each other every time she's on your show! Her recipes look amazing but oh my, weren't we all just salivating, yes, perhaps even drooling over her potato bun and it's fillings! This was a fun show and a nice way to spend some time with our Tribe! Thank you, Chef AJ and Lauren!😋🥔👍
That potato bun idea is absolutely brilliant!! Love it 😀 seems like a wonderful recipe overall 🙂 thank you so much for sharing, Lauren is always such a delight <3
Thank you Chef for sharing your friend with us. You are both delightful. You keep me motivated!
I love bahn mi 😭
Soy curls (after hydrating, and depending on how wet they are) are about 600 to 900 calories per pound – roughly the same as hass avocado. So….I'd put them touching and immediately to the right the red line. And they are really delicious, so if you need to lose weight, I would at the very least measure them carefully and cut them with mushrooms for this recipe. Personally speaking, and I'm genetically thin, soy curls put weight on me quite fast! Tread lightly;)
Grocery outlet has soy curls in the Hispanic spice area.
Date Sugar: I add a little water to cover it and let is absorb it for a few minutes when adding to recipes. It combines better than whole dates and is more shelf stable than date syrup or date paste. I do make Chef AJ's date paste, though, and it is great, too!
hahaha I love that chef AJ…..where is my tablespoon…..deep voice….I don't know, looks up and smirks hahahaha
