This recipe turned out really well. I used veggie broth instead of water, and reduced the soy sauce to 1 T. because my broth was salted. The gravy was still a little on the salty side, but tasty. I also added some dried sage, thyme and parsley.

Amazing!
Delicious, easy, and quick. Tastes amazing on tofu turk'y roasts :) and mashed potatoes and biscuits and even by itself! Perfect for the holidays, love it. The only alteration I made was adding a bit of garlic powder(along with the cloves) and a bit more water than soy sauce. But that's really only cuz I'm not a big soy sauce fan haha :) it defiantly added to the flavor though. I will definitely be using this from now on :)

I wanted a quick gravy recipe for some mashed potatoes I made and came across this one. The only change I made was to add diced portobello mushrooms at the very end to make it into a mushroom gravy. It's so good!!
