BBQ grilled spicy soya strips

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
Soya strips (textured soya protein) are neutral in taste themselves, but their structure is like a sponge: capable of absorbing any marinade. When prepared correctly on the grill, you get a fibrous texture reminiscent of meat, made truly distinctive by the smoky-spicy sauce.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Heatproof bowl for soaking
  • Sieve or colander
  • Grill tray (so they don't fall through the grate)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Soak the soya strips in hot vegetable stock for 15-20 minutes until completely softened.

Tip: The stock gives it flavour right from the start instead of plain water.
2 ✓

Drain and squeeze the water out THOROUGHLY. Use your palm or a tea towel.

Tip: This is the most important step! If it stays wet, it won't brown, it will only steam and become spongy.
3 ✓

Mix the marinade: soy sauce, garlic, oil, paprika, cayenne pepper.

Tip: The oil helps make the soya surface crisp.
4 ✓

Toss the squeezed soya in the marinade and let stand for 10 minutes.

Tip: The 'sponge' now absorbs the flavoured oil in place of the water.
5 ✓

Place on a grill tray or fine grate. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the edges brown.

Tip: The grill tray prevents the thin strips falling into the embers.
6 ✓

Mix the BBQ sauce with the honey. Brush the grilling strips with it in the last minute.

Tip: The goal now is just glazing, do not burn it.
7 ✓

Sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving.

Tip: The oily taste of toasted seeds goes well with the soya.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the texture rubbery?
You probably didn't squeeze enough water out after soaking, or didn't grill them long enough for the excess moisture to evaporate.
