Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Instructions
 

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