Soy Curls Tocino
Have you ever had tocino before? Tocino stems from Spanish meaning "bacon," This soy curls tocino is my meatless take on the iconic Filipino breakfast dish.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Soy curls
- 1.5 pouch Mamacita Tocino Mix
- 2 cups Warm water
- 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp Mushroom seasoning
- 2 tbso Olive oil (for cooking)
Serve with: rice, fried egg (vegetarian) or Just egg (for plant-based)
Instructions
- In a deep bowl, pour the whole bag of soy curls, and add the warm water. Cover and let it soak for about 8-10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, completely drain the soy curls, and squeeze excess water from the soy curls (this is important, you need the soy curls to be completely dry).
- Once completely dry, add 1 1/2 pouch of the Mamacita's tocino mix to the bowl of soy curls. Add soy sauce and mushroom seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For best results, marinate at least 24 hours.
Cooking the tocino
- In a hot skillet, add cooking oil, then add the marinated soy curls. Mix and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Taste the soy curls at this point, and add a pinch of mushroom seasoning if needed. Once you see brownish marks on the soy curls, you'll want to lower the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve over rice and a fried egg on top.
- Sprinkle salt and fresh cracked black pepper on top of the egg.
