- Don't rush the soy curl sautéing process - allow them to develop a golden, crispy exterior.
- Choose a high-quality Cajun seasoning blend for authentic, bold flavor.
- Use unsweetened plant-based milk for the creamiest results.
- Keep the heat at medium-low when simmering to prevent scorching the corn and milk mixture.
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of nutritional yeast to the creamed corn.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture of crispy soy curls and creamy corn.
