Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing the soy curls in a bowl and covering them with warm water. Let them soak for 20 minutes.
  2. Once the soy curls are rehydrated, drain them in a colander and press out any excess water.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, nutritional yeast, rice vinegar, tamari, minced ginger, lemongrass, and shallot until smooth. Toss in the squeezed soy curls.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated soy curls. Sear for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the soy curls are cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the vermicelli noodles. Cook according to package instructions, drain, and rinse.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, agave syrup, and tamari until well combined.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed vermicelli noodles, torn Thai basil, mint, and the seared soy curls. Drizzle the dressing over and toss gently.
  8. Transfer the bowl to serving plates and top with crispy onions and chopped peanuts, if desired.
