Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 ounces soy curls See Notes for options
- 3 cups warm vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more as needed
- 1 small sweet onion sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper seeded and thinly sliced
- 4 ounces oyster mushrooms torn into shreds or sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon kitchen bouquet optional for browning
- 2-3 tablespoons vegan butter softened (optional)
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 8 ounces vegan provolone cheese ripped into small pieces
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by hydrating your soy curls. Place them in a bowl and pour the warm vegetable broth over them. Allow them to soak for about 10-15 minutes until softened. Drain well and gently squeeze out any excess liquid.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Toss in the bell pepper and oyster mushrooms, and continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes until everything is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add the soaked soy curls to the skillet along with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
- Pour in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and kitchen bouquet (if using) to caramelize the mixture lightly.
- Reduce the heat to low, and add the almond milk and vegan cheese. Stir gently until the cheese melts and becomes gooey.
Assembly
- Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, and if desired, spread softened vegan butter on the insides.
- Spoon generous amounts of the soy curl mixture into each roll, ensuring it’s a heaping portion!
Serving
- If you prefer a toasted sandwich, place the filled hoagies under a broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the rolls and melt the cheese further.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides—crispy fries or a simple salad work great!
