Instructions

Place soy curls in a large, shallow bowl. Add broth, stir, and let sit 10 minutes. At this point most of the broth should be absorbed. If there's more than about ¼ cup of broth left in the bottom of the bowl, stir the soy curls again and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Check again, and carefully drain away any excess.
Optional step: If you prefer small pieces, use your hands to tear and shred some of the soy curls.
Pour rehydrated soy curls into the Instant Pot insert (see NOTES below if using a standar slow cooker). Add BBQ sauce and black pepper, if using, and stir well. Lock on the lid.
Press the Slow Cook button. Slow cook on high for 1 hour. Carefully remove lid, stir, and enjoy.

Notes

Slow Cooker - If you'd like to use a regular slow cooker like a Crockpot instead of an Instant Pot, cook time is closer to 1 hour 45 minutes on high. Also note, the texture of the soy curls is not as good in the Crockpot. I think the slight pressure created by the steam in the IP, even on the slow cook function, is key to the firmer, meaty texture.
Storage
This recipe makes a large amount so it's great for families, weekly meal prep, or if you're cooking for a party. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
BBQ soy curls can also be frozen. Thaw in the fridge overnight, and reheat on the stovetop or in a microwave.
