Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are nicely browned, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the vegan 'beef' crumbles, diced carrot, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add tomato paste, vegetable broth, soy sauce, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, until the carrots are tender.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water, then stir this mixture into the filling to thicken. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in frozen peas.
Transfer the filling mixture into a baking dish (about 9-inch size).
Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it's big enough to cover the dish.
Place the pastry over the dish, trim excess pastry, and crimp the edges with a fork. Cut a few slits in the middle to allow steam to escape.
Brush the pastry with non-dairy milk to achieve a golden color during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
