🔥 How to Make Juicy & Crispy Soya Chilli

Step 1: Boil the Soya with Flavor

  1. Rinse soya chunks well. In a pan, boil water and add salt, sugar, coriander stems, chopped garlic, ginger, and vinegar.
  2. Once boiling, add soya chunks and cook for 2–3 minutes until they puff up.
  3. Strain and let them cool completely.

Pro Tip: Squeeze only lightly—leave a little water inside to keep soya juicy and flavorful.


Step 2: Prepare Coating for Crispy Texture

  1. In a bowl, mix boiled soya chunks with ginger-garlic paste, chilli sauce, salt, pepper, and aromat powder.
  2. Gradually add cornstarch (1 tbsp at a time) and mix gently.
  3. Add 1 tbsp maida at the end for perfect coating consistency.

Step 3: Deep Fry Until Golden & Crispy

  1. Heat oil on high flame. Fry coated soya for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. Remove on tissue. You’ll get a perfect crispy outer layer with soft, juicy center.

Step 4: Make the Tangy-Spicy Stir-Fry Sauce

  1. In a thin steel or iron wok, heat oil until lightly smoking.
  2. Add garlic & ginger – sauté 10 seconds.
  3. Add chopped onion (bulb and slices), capsicum, and stir-fry on high flame for 30 seconds.
  4. Add all sauces – soy, chilli, vinegar, ketchup – and sauté for 30 seconds.
  5. Add water, salt, pepper, and aromat.
  6. Stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce slightly.
  7. Turn off the gas once sauce thickens – this prevents sogginess.

Step 5: Combine and Toss

  1. Add fried soya chunks to the pan along with chopped coriander and spring onion greens.
  2. Toss everything until well coated with sauce.

✅ Result:

  • Juicy, flavorful, and spicy soya chunks with that signature street-style crisp coating.
  • Tastes even better than restaurant versions!
  • Serve hot with fried rice, noodles, or as a standalone starter.
