Instructions
- Dissolve the bullion paste in 1/2 cup of hot water and mix it with the soy sauce and liquid aminos.

- Peel the tomatillos, dice the onion into quarters, remove the stems from the peppers.
- To a blender, add tomatillos, 1/4 of the onion, Serrano peppers, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until extra smooth.
- Once the soya is done rehydrating, drain it and squeeze excess water out.

- Turn a medium pot on medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Add the other quarter of the onion and fry for 3 minutes.
- Next, add the diced mushrooms and fry for about ~7 minutes or until golden brown. Add a drizzle of liquid aminos to brown the mushrooms once they are almost done cooking.
- Remove mushrooms from pan and set them aside in a bowl.
- Add 3 tbsp of oil to the same pot and add the rehydrated soya.
- Fry the soya until it starts browning, add extra oil if needed.
- Pour the bouillon/soy sauce mix into the pot and mix in with the soya.
