Vegetarian Ham
- 2 ounces bean curd
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, tamari
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 tablespoon star anise
- 2 each cloves
- Soak the bean curd in water for about 1/2 hour until soft.
- Mix together the remaining ingredients, and marinate the bean curd in this mixture for about 2 hours.
- Select the largest and smoothest sheet and lay it on a flat surface.
- Place the remaining sheets on top of it evenly, so that when rolled up it will form a cylinder of regular dimensions.
- Roll it up VERY tightly.
- Place it on a single piece of cheese-cloth or old sheet and roll it up, with the cloth overlapping both at both ends.
- Tie the bundle at both ends like a toy firecracker at the two points where the bean curd ends.
- Steam the roll for about 1 hour.
- Cool the roll and unwrap it.
- Slice the roll into 1/4 inch slices and serve cold.
