Made with chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic and sesame oil, the gravy gets its signature umami flavour.

It takes a humble dish to restaurant level in minutes. It’s a 30 minute meal using pantry staples so you can whip this up any night of the week.
You also have the ability to adjust the seasonings to taste. You can make it more salty with some soy sauce or if you like it strong there is no reason why you shouldn´t add more garlic. It also fortifies with flavour and nutrients by adding bone broth. Textural crunch and freshness can be achieved simply by incorporating some scallions or mushrooms. As a bonus, this recipe is also meal prep friendly! The gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated as needed. Well, it’s gluten-free and can be made dairy-free.
