Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend, 1/4 cup Tapioca Starch, 2 tbsp Vegan Egg Replacer, 1 cup Water, and 1 tsp Salt until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
2. 2Bring a large heavy-bottomed pot filled with water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp Salt to the boiling water.
3. 3Hold a spätzle maker (or a colander with large holes) over the pot of boiling water. Pour about half of the batter into the spätzle maker and press or shake it so small pieces of batter fall into the water. Cook the spätzle for 2-3 minutes, or until the pieces float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the cooked spätzle from the water and place them in a bowl. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
4. 4While the spätzle is cooking, heat the 2 tbsp Olive Oil in a large 30.48 cm skillet over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the about 450 g Mushrooms, cut into 1.27 cm slices, the 1/2 medium Onion, finely chopped, and the 2 cloves Garlic, minced. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown.
5. 5Pour the 2 cups Vegetable Broth and 2 tbsp Soy Sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). In a small bowl, mix the 1 tbsp Cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water until smooth, then pour this slurry into the simmering liquid while stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
6. 6Add the cooked spätzle to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Gently toss everything together to coat the spätzle evenly with the gravy. Serve immediately.
