Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix tofu, sprouts, cabbage, mushrooms, and green onion.
  2. Beat eggs and stir in vegetable mixture.
  3. Heat oil to 375 F. Fry four 1/2-cup portions, 2 minutes on the first side and 1 1/2 minutes on the second; drain.
  4. Boil broth with sugar, salt, molasses, and oil. Stir cornstarch with water, then stir into broth until thickened.
  5. Serve with gravy.
Vegetarian swap: Smoked tofu replaces beef; vegetarian mushroom or vegetable broth replaces beef broth. Vegan option: use a bottled vegetarian egg substitute; results will be softer.
