Ingredients

  • 8 ounces soy curls (or 1 packet Butler Soy Curls)

For the sauce:

  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons vegan Hoisin sauce plus more for pancakes
  • ¼ cup plus 1 ½ teaspoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper

Other:

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 large green onions thinly sliced crosswise
  • 3 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon five spice powder
  • Freshly ground Tellicherry or Szechuan black peppercorns to taste (optional)

For serving:

  • 12 Peking duck wrappers or 8 coconut flour tortillas, or serve with rice
  • 1 large cucumber julienned
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Soak the soy curls in water to cover by 2 inches for 10 minutes. Rinse and drain.
  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the Hoisin sauce, tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, tamarind (if using), and white pepper.
  • Cook soy curls: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the soy curls in a single layer for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. (You may need to do this in batches.) Transfer to a dish and set aside.
  • Cook the scallions for about 3 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more. Add the five spice and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Combine and heat: Add back the soy curls, and the desired amount of sauce. Mix to combine and heat for about 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • For serving: Spread Hoisin sauce taste on pancakes, top with soy curls, cucumbers, scallions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • I used Butler brand soy curls for this recipe.
