Method
For the Soy Curls
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
Place soy curls in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, and let stand for 5-10 minutes until fully hydrated and spongy.
8 ounces soy curls
Drain in a colander, then squeeze out excess water using hands or a spatula. Return soy curls to the bowl and mix with cornstarch, white pepper, onion powder, and sea salt until paste-like.
1/3 cup cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Spread mixture on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes until curls develop a dry crust, then flip and bake 5 minutes more until crisp.
Spray avocado oil
Cool for 10 minutes before pulling apart.
For the Sauce
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and green onion, cooking while stirring, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and wilted.
1 teaspoon avocado oil, 4 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 bunch green onions, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 fresh Thai chilies, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, 1-2 teaspoons cornstarch
Pour in the remaining mixture and cook until thick and glossy. Add cornstarch slurry if needed. Once thickened, stir in the soy curls and sesame seeds and mix well.
For a cornstarch slurry, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of warm water then whisk into the sauce.
