Title. I’m serious. I can’t store 12 lbs of soy curls and I’ve never even tried them but I want to 🥲 would really love if there’s more than one person out there who wants to split so we could do 3 or 4 lbs each. But even if only one, I can handle storing 6 lbs better than 12.

Just wanted to help people know how much storage space you will need in your freezer and/or frig if you order the 12 lb. bag.

I just received the 12 lb. bag and divided the soy curls into 7 one gallon ziploc bags with some left over that I put in a one quart ziploc bag and a tiny bit in an empty peanut butter jar. I put around half in my freezer and half in the frig.

It's more than I imagined. It's probably going to last me over a year.

Ingredients

• 8oz bag of Soy Curls
• 3 Cups of Rice
• 1-2 cups of vegetables (Peppers and Onions are good choices)
• Your seasoning of choice (I like a mix of Cayanne, Chili Powder and Cumin). You can also go crazy with something like barbecue sauce.
• ~6 cups of water / vegetable stock (the amount needed to cover the rice).

Cooking

• Layer Soy Curls and veg mixture at the bottom of the instant pot.
• Add seasoning, ensuring that the vegatable / soy curl mixture is coated.
• Add Rice
• Add Liquid so that the rice is covered.
• Cook for 5 minutes with 5 minutes of natural release.

I find this kind of slop massively addicting.

Has anyone tried to make their own? I'm curious, are they just dehydrated tofu, or something else. I'd like to experiment and wondering if anybody here has tried to replicate them. Thanks!

I finally got my first bag. They are amazing! But I was wondering, they are literally the whole soy bean as the only ingredient. No sodium, engineered crap, etc… I know you have to add flavor to them but these seem like the sweet spot for meat like replacement as a healthy alternative to the engineered impossible/beyond products. Especially since you have the control over adding the flavors.

Am I missing something? I try not to eat the engineered fake meats too often but I do like them. Maybe soy curls are better for eating more frequently?

Anyone have a dietician type background and can speak to this? Thx!

I'm going to order from Butler, and I'm trying to decide if I should buy a box of 8 oz bags or the large bulk bag. Does the bulk bag generate a higher percentage of crushed curls during shipping?

I always rehydrate what looks like the right amount and then end up with waaaaay too many, OR I overcorrect and rehydrate too few.

(For what it's worth, even when rehydrate "too many," I somehow end up eating them all anyway, I'm just curious if anyone has a magic ratio that works for their recipes. )

I stupidly bought a 12 pound bag of soy curls in December 2024. I have been storing them in my fridge. If they don’t smell are they still okay to eat? Thanks!
