Cooking Tips
Cooking Tips
1. You can use extra-firm tofu or mushrooms instead of soy curls. If using tofu, just cut into cubes and bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees F. Skip the soaking step and marinate in the Adobo Sauce for at least an hour. If using tofu, just slice or shred and marinade in the Adobo Sauce.
2. Soycurls can be ordered online via Amazon or directly from the manufacturer at www.butlerfoods.com.
