**** I don't like to put the dry soy curls in the sauce because it just sucks up too much of it and it all becomes one flavor. I like to actually reconstitute them in a little salted sugar water. Just a little, but it adds a lot.  **** I don't like to put the dry soy curls in the sauce because it just sucks up too much of it and it all becomes one flavor.
