Preparation

For the Tofu Cheese

1. Crumble the tofu into a fine-mesh strainer and press well to remove as much preserving liquid as possible. Pat dry again.
2. Place the tofu in a jar.
3. In a small saucepan, heat all the other ingredients just until the nutritional yeast, salt, and sugar have dissolved.
4. Pour the hot liquid directly into the jar with the tofu.
5. Seal the jar and let marinate for at least 2 hours, either on the counter or in the refrigerator.

For the Gravy

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour.
3. Cook for 5 minutes, until the roux develops a nice colour. Add the spices and cook for 1 minute.
4. Pour in the broths while whisking, then bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
5. Let simmer for a few minutes before adding the cornstarch mixture to thicken the gravy.
6. Adjust the seasoning and finish with Worcestershire sauce, mainly for colour.
7. Keep warm.

Cook the fries using your preferred method: deep-fried, baked, in an air fryer, or use fries from a takeout counter.

To Serve

1. Drain the tofu cheese through a fine-mesh strainer and press lightly to remove the excess liquid.
2. Serve generous portions of hot, crispy fries and top with tofu cheese. Drizzle generously with poutine sauce and enjoy immediately.
