Rehydrating soy curls: Add the soy curls to a large heat-safe bowl, and pour enough boiling hot water overtop to cover them by about 2 inches. Cover bowl with a lid or plate and soak for 10 minutes. Strain soy curls using a mesh sieve and press remaining excess water from them using the back of a large wooden spoon or spatula.
