Ingredients
Refrigerated
- .75 Tofu Block extra firm
Pantry
- 3 C Vital Wheat Gluten
- 1/4 C Chickpea Flour
- 2 C Vegetable Broth
- 3 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 2 tsp Soy Sauce
Seasonings
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Fill a steamer pot with water and set over medium high heat. Reduce to low heat once it starts to boil.
- In a blender, add all the ingredients except for the vital wheat gluten and chickpea flour and blend until a smooth consistency is formed.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the vital wheat gluten and chickpea flour. Add the mixture from the blender into the bowl and mix together using a wooden spoon or spatula. A dough should form.
- Flour a clean work surface and knead the dough on it for 2-3 min. The dough will be kind of sticky but that's okay!
- Once the dough in kneaded, form it into a thick log and wrap it parchment paper, but not too tightly! Then wrap it again in the foil and twist the ends like a candy bar wrapper. Make sure you do not wrap the log to tightly because it needs room to expand while it cooks.
- Place the wrapped log into the steamer basket and steam for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. After the log has steamed, bake for 30 min.
- Remove from heat and let the deli meat cool before unwrapping or slicing! Once it has cooled, slice and enjoy on sandwiches or a cheese platter! Enjoy!
