Ingredients

• 4 cups Soy curls
• 4 cups Boiling water
• 0.5 cups Coconut aminos
• 3 tablespoons Sugar-free maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the soy curls in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the soy curls and let them soak for 10 minutes to rehydrate. Drain and gently squeeze out excess water. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, sugar-free maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and xanthan gum until well combined. This is your keto teriyaki sauce.

Step 3

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rehydrated soy curls and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and slightly crispy.

Step 4

Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the soy curls. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the soy curls evenly.

Step 5

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 6

Serve immediately with cauliflower rice if desired for a complete keto-friendly meal.
