Miso gravy has the perfect mix of umami, nuance and depth. Everyone can smother their Thanksgiving plates with it—vegans and meat-eaters alike.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon hot water
1 tablespoon miso paste
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
4 tablespoons vegan butter-style sticks
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups vegetable broth

Directions

In a small bowl, combine first 5 ingredients into a slurry; set aside.
Melt vegan butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour until blended; cook 2-3 minutes or until raw flour flavor has cooked out. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add reserved slurry, whisking well. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until thickened.
If desired, strain through a fine mesh strainer for completely smooth gravy.
