Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons White Miso Paste
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Arrowroot or Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce or Tamari
  • 1/4 cup Water (adjust as needed)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out white miso paste, vegetable broth, onion powder, garlic powder, arrowroot or cornstarch, soy sauce or tamari, and water to have everything ready for quick preparation.
  2. Mix the Miso and Broth: In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the miso paste and vegetable broth until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Seasonings and Thickeners: Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and soy sauce continuously. Separately dissolve the arrowroot or cornstarch in a little cold water, then slowly whisk it into the saucepan to help thicken the gravy.
  4. Simmer Until Thickened: Allow the gravy to gently simmer for a few minutes, stirring frequently to achieve a luscious, pourable consistency without lumps.
  5. Adjust Taste and Serve: Taste the gravy and add more soy sauce for saltiness or water to thin the texture as needed. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use white miso for a milder, creamier flavor that suits gravy perfectly.
  • Cook over low heat and avoid boiling after adding miso to preserve delicate flavors and probiotics.
  • Thicken gradually by starting with less arrowroot or cornstarch to avoid lumps.
  • Whisk continuously throughout cooking for smooth, creamy gravy.
  • Adjust consistency by adding water slowly or simmering longer to thicken.
