Thick and juicy barbecue pulled "pork" (soy curl) sandwiches are going to be a weeknight favorite! Stack it with tangy sauce and coleslaw for a super delicious, messy experience.
This delicious pulled soy curl sandwich is one of my favorites! It's quicker to make this vegan version, too! 20 minutes tops and dinner is ready!
The soy curls are cooked in my tangy mustard barbecue sauce and topped with my crisp and refreshing coleslaw.
🥘Ingredients
I am using soy curls for the protein here, but you can use other options. A popular choice is usually jackfruit, but many things can be used, such as mushrooms, tofu, chickpeas and other TVP like proteins.
Feel free to use store-bought mustard BBQ or coleslaw if you wish.
Not pictured - Water for hydrating the soy curls. Optionally, you can also use veggie broth to add more flavor to the curls if you'd like!
Please see recipe card for full amounts.
🔪Instructions
Before frying you need to add the soy curls to a bowl, and then add water just to the top of the curls and let them hydrate for 10 minutes. Then drain and squeeze excess water out.
Step One - Add oil to a pan and add the drained/squeezed soy curls and fry until they start to brown up.
Step Two - Add the mustard sauce and turn the heat down to a medium-low. Once the sauce is thickened up, you are finished.
🍱Storage
Refrigerator - Store the soy curls separate from the coleslaw and buns in an airtight container. They can last up to 6 days, but they will lose flavor. You can always add a little bit of salt if that happens.
Freezer - While I have never frozen soy curls, I don't see why you can't. If you try it, let me know!
Reheat - If pulling from frozen, thaw naturally and heat in the microwave at 1 minute intervals. Or in a frying pan with a little bit of water.
