Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
This fauxsage is a fantastic protein boost for many dishes. Slice it and pan-fry until crispy before sprinkling it over stir-fries, noodle dishes, or rice bowls.
Wine Advice:
Pairing a wine with curry can be tricky, but it’s a delicious challenge! A crisp Riesling from Germany or a spicy Gewürztraminer is a perfect match. Their subtle sweetness and vibrant acidity will cut through the heat of the green curry while complementing the apple’s sweetness. This pairing is so good, you might just find yourself singing its praises!
