Vegan Gravy
2 1/4 cups (540g) low-sodium vegetable broth, separated
3 tablespoons (24g) cornstarch
1 tablespoon (15g) low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

(1) First, add only 1/4 cup of the broth to a small bowl with the cornstarch and whisk together until smooth to make a slurry. This is what will thicken the gravy. You do not want to add the cornstarch to all the broth, because it will get clumpy and be really hard to mix in smoothly and will ruin the gravy. Set aside.
(2) Add the remaining 2 cups of broth to a medium pot. Add the remaining ingredients: soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper and whisk well.
(3) Now whisk in the cornstarch slurry until smooth.
(4) Add to the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Once it starts to boil, slightly lower the heat and simmer, whisking often to prevent clumping at the bottom, for about 5-8 minutes or so until it begins to noticeably thicken. DO be careful about overcooking though, because as the gravy cools, it will thicken more. And if you overcook it, it will get toot thick and goopy as it cools because of the cornstarch.I like to heat it until it is just thickening and then remove from the heat.
(5) Cool in the pan for 10 minutes away from the heat to thicken up more and then serve right after. Whisk once more before serving.
(6) This gravy will thicken a lot in the fridge overnight or as it sits (as all gravies do), so just give it a good whisk to smoothen it back out before serving again or add a touch of broth if needed/desired.
