Ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes
  • water for boiling
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4-5 slices vegetarian mock bacon strips
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar (you can substitute cider vinegar if needed)
  • 1/2 tsp mustard
  • 5 scallions (green onions), sliced
