What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 dashes soy sauce
  • 1 vegetable bullion cube
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 3 dashes garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour, as needed
Equipment
  • Saucepan
  • Burner
  • Cooking spoon
  • Gravy boat
Directions
1. In a saucepan, combine the water, soy sauce, vegetable bullion, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard, vegan butter, nutritional yeast and sea salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the mixture on high heat.

2. While cooking, add flour, a small amount at a time. Some people prefer a thicker gravy and others prefer it thinner, and the consistency is determined by the amount of flour. Each time you add flour, stir well.

3. Bring the mixture to a boil. After it reaches a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Make sure to break up any lumps with a cooking spoon. Pour the gravy into a gravy boat and serve.

Tips
  • For more of a crunch, substitute minced onions and fresh minced garlic for the powder versions.
  • Add mushrooms for additional texture.
Enjoy!
