Ingredients
1 1/4 cups water1/4 cup raw cashews3 Tbs nutritional yeast flakes (I use Bob's Red Mill)1 Tbs cornstarch1 Tbs unbleached all-purpose flour1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder1 tsp onion powder1 tsp smoked paprika1/2 tsp fine sea salt1 Tbs non-hydrogenated vegan margarine (I use Earth Balance)1 tsp rice vinegar1 tsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos (soy sauce or tamari will work)
If you don't have a high powered blender, soak the cashews in hot water for about 30 minutes and drain.
In the blender, combine water and cashews. Blend at high speed until completely smooth. Add the nutritional yeast, cornstarch, flour, garlic, onion, paprika, and salt, and bled until very smooth.
Transfer to saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Whisk in the margarine. If sauce is too thick, add a little more water. Remove from heat and stir in rice vinegar and Bragg's. Use immediately or cool, stirring often, so no skin forms on the top of the sauce. When completely cool, transfer to a jar and keep refrigerated.
Serving Size: Makes 11, 2 Tbs servings or about 1 1/2 cups total
