Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (protein base and spices).
In a separate container, whisk together all wet ingredients (broth, tomato paste, oil, soy sauce, liquid smoke).
Pour wet mixture into dry mix and combine to form a sticky dough.
Shape dough into a log and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
Steam the foil-wrapped log for 60 minutes.
Allow to cool completely, then unwrap and slice thinly.

Notes

For gluten-free, use chickpea flour. Texture will be slightly different but delicious.
Steaming time is critical for proper texture. Do not undercook.
Cool completely before slicing for best results.
Store refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
