Ingredients
Soy Curls:
- 8 ounces soy curls
- 4 cups vegan “beef” broth
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- Black pepper
- Vegetable oil, as needed
Cheese sauce:
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 cups vegan cheese shreds
Assembly:
- Hoagie rolls
Instructions
- Rehydrate the soy curls. Place the soy curls in a large, heat-proof mixing bowl and pour the vegan “beef” broth over top. Make sure the soy curls are submerged and set aside to rehydrate for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, reserve 1/2 cup of the “beef” broth and set aside.
- Drain the soy curls. Drain and squeeze the excess broth out of the hydrated soy curls, reserving the excess broth in the process. Then, in the bowl with the reserved broth, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Mix together and set aside.
- Caramelize the onions. Heat two tablespoons of vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the onions and the remaining salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to caramelize and turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once ready, remove the caramelized onions from the pan and set aside.
- Brown the soy curls. In the same pan, add the drained soy curls to the pan. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the soy curls begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable oil, as needed, if the soy curls begin to stick.
- Add the reserved broth and onions. After 5 minutes, add the reserved beefy marinade and the caramelized onions. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- Make the cheez whiz. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of vegan butter. Once melted, add in the non-dairy milk and vegan cheese shreds. Whisk together until the cheese melts and a smooth sauce forms.
- Assemble. Layer the soy curls and onions on a toasted hoagie bun, then top with vegan cheese sauce or as desired. Enjoy!
