Steps

1. Soak the soy curls in vegetable broth for about 10 minutes until softened, then drain and squeeze out excess liquid.
2. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, maple syrup, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
3. In a large pan over medium heat, add cooking oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
