Ingredient Notes
For soy curls, I used filet type dehydrated soy meat. I cut the filet into strips, but you could just use the filet whole, without cutting you if want.
Potato starch 片栗粉 is used to coat the soy curls for frying. It gives them a super crispy, chewy texture. If you don’t have potato starch, you can use cornstarch for the same effect.
Mirin is a type of rice wine with a slightly sweet, tangy flavor. It’s a staple ingredient for many Japanese dishes, especially since it pairs really well with soy sauce. It’s readily available at Asian supermarkets and on Amazon, but if you don’t have mirin, add tbsp of dry sherry or dry white wine , plus 1/4 tbsp of brown sugar.
Garlic scapes, ニンニクの芽 , are the long thin stems of the garlic bulb. They are similar to scallions, but have a more crunchy texture similar to asparagus. They’re delicious and add extra texture to this dish. If you don’t have garlic scapes, you can add asparagus or green onions instead.
