  • Add vegetable stock and let it simmer to a boil.
  • Add potato (cut into cubes), thyme, black pepper and soy sauce.
  • Slowly sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. Stir it in straight away to prevent it from forming large clumps. Do not worry about small clumps as these will dissolve during cooking.

  • Lightly fry for approx. 10 minutes until all the water has evaporated and you're left with egg-like tofu.

  • Transform your vegetable filling (including tofu) to an ovenproof dish.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.
  • Even out the surface using a flat spatula.
  • Fold out your ready-made puff pastry and use it to cover the entire pie dish.
  • Use a fork to press down the puff pastry onto the sides.
  • Use any leftover puff pastry for decoration e.g. cut out small leaves using a knife.
  • Brush with almond milk.
  • Bake at 180°C / 356°F for approx. 25 minutes.
