Ingredients

  • 75 g dried soy curls hydrated with hot water and some broth seasoning (about half a bag)
  • 1 tbsp mushroom broth powder
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups cabbage sliced (I used Taiwanese flat cabbage)
  • 1 small onion or 2 shallots sliced
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper optional
  • 1 cup vegan liquid egg I used JUST egg liquid

For the sauce

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 packet of vegan dashi stock or 1 tbsp vegan mushroom broth granules/powder
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce I used a soy sauce specifically for soup
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 1 tsp sugar

To serve

  • 2 sprigs green onions finely diced
  • 1 cup dry rice prepared in a rice cooker according to manufacturer's instructions

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, rehydrate the dried soy curls with enough hot water to cover and then add 1 tbsp of broth seasoning to impart extra flavour. Let rehydrate for about 10 minutes to soften before draining and squeezing out the excess water.

  • Pour the liquid vegan egg mixture and black pepper over everything and quickly stir to coat everything. Then let sit to cook so it makes a rough omelette, flipping in sections once browned and cooked through.
