Serving Size 2
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
- 1 whisk
Ingredients
- 300 grams French fries
- 2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder or 1 vegetable bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon soya sauce
- 2 cups hot water
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- pepper to taste
- ½ cup cheese curds shredded white cheese works too
Instructions
- Cook the fries according to the package instructions.
- Heat a sauce pan on medium high heat.
- Dissolve the vegetable stock powder in the hot water. Add the soya sauce.
- Add the butter to the pan. Once it's melted, add the flour and whisk to make a paste.
- Slowly add in the vegetable stock, whisking constantly. The paste will get really thick, then thin out as you add more stock. Whisk until there are no lumps.
- Continue cooking the gravy until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent burning. Add pepper to taste.
- Pile the chees curds onto the cooked french fries. Top with the gravy and serve with dried parsley or sliced green onion for vibrance.

Notes
Cook fries extra crispy because they'll soak up the gravy.
Use flavourful vegetable broth powder.
Top with fresh sliced green onion for freshness.
