Ingredient

🧂 Ingredients

1½ cups water
¼ tsp beetroot powder
½ tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp Vegemite

(this really does make a difference, and I recommend Vegemite over Marmite in this recipe)
1 pinch activated charcoal

(about 1/16 tsp to 1/8 tsp, optional for color)
2 tsp mushroom powder

(white button is my favorite, shiitake and porcini also work)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

(Wizard's brand is vegan and delicious)
½ tsp dry mustard powder
4 oz soy curls

(or TVP)

1 Add all ingredients except for the soy curls to a pot.
2 Whisk over medium heat until vegemite is fully dissolved and liquid is near
boiling.
3 Fold in dry soy curls, and simmer, stirring occasionally until all liquid is
absorbed/evaporated.
