This sounds delicious! I’ve been looking for a way to try soy curls and this is it— adding to the meal plan for the week 🙂
Do you discard the soaking liquid or add it to the pot with the soaked soy curls?
Add it all to the pot.
can you make this without the curls?
You could make it with canned jackfruit or just add more veggies =)
The recipe mentions “1 liter of vegetable broth” twice. Typo? Or does recipe call for 2 liters?
It is 2. One is for soaking the soy curls but all of it goes in the stew =)
Love your recipes and your presentations. Even the soft music in the background, adds another sensory awareness. Thank you.
Looks really yummy but I’m confused, you list 1 litre of veggie broth twice…so is it 1 or 2 total?
Sorry Jill, I should have watched the video…duh
Does the recipe call for 2 L of Veg Broth or is that just a typo?
It is 2 L. One is for soaking the soy curls and the both go in the stew. =)
WOW!! I saw this recipe last night as soon as it came into my email! I got up this morning and couldn’t wait to try it out!! I’ve never made anything like this before and it turned out great!! My family loved it! I haven’t had one of your recipes fail me yet! Thank you so much fo all you and your family are doing!
That makes me so happy Tina! You just made my day =)
I tried this for supper last night during a snow storm and it was delicious and hearty! We loved the way the bit of batter that escaped from the dumplings thickened and flavored the broth, too.
I did tinker with the seasonings a bit, though. We all strongly dislike rosemary and one person is allergic to it, so I substituted 1/2 tsp. each of thyme, basil, and sage and added a bay leaf. I also added some poultry seasoning to the soy curl soaking liquid, as I usually do, for a more chickenlike flavor.
I just made this as I happened to have all the ingredients on hand, including rosemary on the back stoop and freshly prepared vegetable stock. I think this offering wins the Oscar! Incredibly delicious!
This was amazing! Lovely flavours, and the first successful dumplings I ever made 🙂
