Ingredients

• Silken tofu - 300 grams
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable broth - 100 milliliters
• Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Mushrooms (shiitake or button) - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Carrot - 1 small, grated
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a blender, combine the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped green onion, finely chopped mushrooms, and grated carrot. Stir to combine.
