WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Boil the textured vegetable protein in veggie broth with 2 bay leaves for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.

STEP 1

Drain the mixture in a large colander, pressing on the chunks with a spatula/potato masher to remove excess liquid.

STEP 2

Then, heat the oil in a large skillet with the soy sauce and paprika. Add the TVP chunks and fry them for a few minutes until slightly crispy. Then transfer them to a bowl and set them aside.

STEP 3

Sauté the onion for 3 minutes, or until translucent. Then brown the mushrooms for a few minutes. Next, add the garlic and spices and mix well. Then add the vegan cream and stir.

STEP 4

In a separate small bowl, create a slurry by combining the cornstarch with the cold vegetable broth/water. Add that to the pan, stirring well.

STEP 5

Then add the white wine (or extra broth) and simmer the mixture over medium heat for several minutes before stirring in the soy sauce.

STEP 6

Finally, add the textured vegetable protein chunks, mix to combine, taste test, and season if needed.
