100% vegetarian dark gravy:

Last edited Wed Apr 1, 2020, 09:03 PM - Edit history (1)

Rookie novice here, but dang this was good.

We had stir fry tonight, spouse does the veggies, I stir fry my own seitan as she doesn’t like it. When I finish, there is always the oily brown bits stuck to the pan that I will never again scrub and wash out.

A little flour and heat just like making regular gravy and 100% vegetarian brown gravy. It was delicious.

On edit: And water! I added a little water when deglazing.

on seitan and broccoli nights. I made a medium brown (think strong tea) mixture of cold water and either Marmite or Vegemite, mixed in a little cornstarch, and added it to the wok after the soy sauce and right before the toasted sesame oil. It worked a treat for a meaty brown sauce and it fooled meat eaters frequently.

We aren't vegetarians. But I like the No-chicken chicken stock. It makes very good egg drop soup. So many dishes call for chicken stock and this version works every time.

Thanks for the tip!
