This dish was presented by Katie Dobkin in our Learning Kitchen 2019 sponsored by our Co-Lead sponsor VEDGE Wholesale. Soy Curls is a plant-based protein alternative, one of the many unique vegan products that VEDGE Wholesale imports to island stores and restaurants. Made with non-GMO whole soybeans, packed with fiber and boasting a chewy texture, Soy Curls are great for fajitas, sizzling stir-fry, and heart warming soups. The Beet Box Cafe in Kailua serves a BBQ sandwich using them, and their Chef Katie Dobkin showed how to make it at the VegFest Oahu Learning Kitchen 2019. Read Katie’s bio HERE.
