Quick Soy Curls Phad Phrik Khing (pad prik king) ผัดพริกขิงโปรตีนถั่วเหลือง

Pad Prik Khing is a dried Thai curry dish that not contains coconut milk like other Thai curries. You can use any kind of meats such as pork, beef, chicken and tofu as you like. I’m going to use Soy Curls to make a vegetarian recipe this time. This is quick and easy meal you can cook and ready to serve within  20 minutes or less. 

Ingredients 

4 oz Soy Curls (half package)

6 oz long bean or green beans , cut into 1 - 1 1/2 inches long

1/3 cup Prik Khing Curry Paste , can be use Red Curry Paste instead 

2 Tbsp. Olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced 

1 1/2 tsp. Soy sauce 

2 tsp. Maple syrup (or sugar and other sweeteners ) 

1/4 cup vegetable soup stock 

4-5 leaves Kaffir Lime Leaves 

Fresh red peppers, sliced into small sticks ( optional) 

Directions 

1. Pour the soy curls in a medium bowl, add warm water and it sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile cut long bean/ green bean, slice peppers and kaffir lime leaves. 
2. Drain soy curls using spoon to press out some water.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, stir in curry paste and garlic for a minute or until release the fragrance.
4. Add soy curls, toss together until well coat and cook for about 2 minutes.
5. Add long bean, soy sauce, and maple syrup, soup stock, stir well for a minute and beans still crunchy but I like to eat softer bean so I cooked my beans until tender. 
6. Turn off the heat and add kaffir lime leaves, save some for garnish , red peppers if using.
7. Serve with steamed rice.
8. Enjoy!!
