To make the Vegan Roast :

  8. After the ingredients are mixed well, place a pot on the stove and heat it up on a low flame so that when the mixture condensed, it won’t get burnt.
  9. Stir the mixture continuously so that the paste doesn’t get lumpy.
  10. Keep stirring it continuously until the paste has thickened. Once it has thickened, remove it immediately from the stove.
  11. Once we notice that the paste is half cooked, then it’s ready. Don’t let it get too cooked otherwise it won’t be so tasty.
  12. Place a thin cloth on a mould. Put on it the bean curd sheet to make the skin. Spread it out evenly. Put the folded portion of the bean curd on top.
  13. Spread the faux fatty meat portion onto the layer of the skin. Spread it out evenly. In order the spoon not sticking to the paste, dip the spoon in water before spread out the layer.
  14. Next, add on the layer of the lean meat. Use your hand to spread it out evenly on the layer of the faux fatty meat, and then use your hands to press it down tightly.
  15. After pressing down tightly, wrap it with the spare cloth. While wrapping it, also press it down very firmly.
  16. Take the vegan mean out of the mould.
  17. Fasten the vegan meat tightly with the string. You can use bamboo ties or any other cloth strings.
  18. Fasten it into 8 or 10 sections, and then turn it over.
  19. Prepare the steamer, add in the water, and place it on the stove.
  20. Put the vegan meat into the steamer with the lean meat on top, the faux fatty meat below.
  21. Steam it for 30 minutes.
  22. After 30 minutes, undo the strings and the cloth, and let it cool down for a while.
  23. Use a sponge, soak it into the food coloring, and brush it on the skin layer evenly so it will look nice.
  24. Use a sharp knife to cut the vegan meat into small pieces, and then fry them.
  25. Use enough oil to fry so that the oil will cover half of the vegan mean slices.
  26. Let the oil come to a complete boil, after that turn the flame down, and put it the vegan meat and fry it on a very low flame.
