Cooking class additional information
We will share two recipes:
- High-protein lemongrass stir-fry with soy curls. Soy curls add whole-bean protein and fiber. Lemongrass and cilantro give flavor.
- The weight-control helper: konjac, napa, and cilantro fill the plate with few calories.
About Soy Curls
Soy curls are a simple whole-soy protein: high protein, high fiber, complete amino acids, long shelf life, and a shredded texture that soaks up sauce. After a quick soak they brown like chicken and pair naturally with lemongrass.
If you’ve been curious about soy curls, this class walks through soak, squeeze and a lemongrass stir-fry you can repeat at home.
Soy curls also make a great vegan jerky. Once soaked, seasoned, and dried, they turn into a chewy, meaty snack that travels well and belongs in a high-protein pantry.
About Konjac, cilantro and napa cabbage
Konjac is the base for miracle noodles/shirataki. It is nearly zero net carb, very low calorie, and low sodium until you season it. Mixed with water, it gels and expands about 20 times. Konjac fills the stomach and slows digestion, which is why people use it on low-carb, low-sugar days and toward the end of day 1 or day 2 of a fast, when appetite usually returns.
Cilantro is used here as a high-volume, high-potassium herb with a traditional flushing and mild diuretic reputation.
Napa is also high in potassium, very low in net carbs, and bulky enough to make the bowl feel like food instead of a supplement. Together they help support potassium and fluid balance.

- How to dry the same curls into a wonderful vegan jerky
