Vegan Ham Recipe (gluten free, a version with and without okara)

This is such a yummy and wholesome Vegan Ham Recipe that you can make with or without okara (soy bean pulp). It is great for sandwiches, wraps, pizza, omlettes and anywhere else you would use vegan ham.

Vegan Ham Recipe with Okara

2 cups lukewarm water (more or less, depending how wet your okara is)
2 cups gram or yellow split pea flour
1 1/2 cups fresh okara
2 1/2 tsp ground coriander seed
2 1/2 tsp salt
Heaped 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg (or 1/5 freshly grated nut)
A pinch of black or white ground pepper
A pinch of asafoetida compound (optional)
2-3 Tbsp beetroot juice (or 1-2 tsp beetroot juice powder)
1/2 cup coconut cream (from top of coconut milk tin)

Vegan Ham Recipe (without okara)

2 cups lukewarm water
2 cups gram or yellow split pea flour
2 tsp ground coriander seed
2 tsp salt
Heaped 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg (or 1/2 freshly grated nut)
A pinch of black or white ground pepper
A pinch of asafoetida compound (optional)
2-3 Tbsp beetroot juice (or 1-2 tsp beetroot juice powder)
1/2 cup coconut cream (from top of coconut milk tin)

Get additional 2 cups of water to a boil and pour the prepared batter in, while whisking well. Get to the boil and simmer it on low while whisking often for 10-12 minutes. Pour into moulds, level and let it set in the fridge for a few hours. It keeps in the fridge around 5 days, or you can freeze it for 3 months as well (but the texture after freezing becomes more grainy).

I made this using split pea flour I ground in my Vitamix. I followed the recipe w/o okara. In addition to the spices in the recipe I added scant 1/4 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder and 1/4 tsp Wrights liquid hickory smoke. This tastes like american style bologna, it even has the correct texture. I had my non-vegan child try it (not telling her what it was suppose to be) and asked her what she tasted. She looked at me surprised and said BOLOGNA! Then had a sandwich of it for lunch!!! This recipe is a WIN in my house!!! It tastes more like bologna that the vegan bologna I have bought. Thank you!!!

I 1/4 the recipe to test it out.

I made it with alterations. It was AMAZING! I comment from Jodi Tork really saved me. I added a lot more than the 1/4 tsp of liquid smoke. I didn't have white pepper so I omitted it. I also didn't have the flour, and it's really expensive in my country, so I watched a video where you soaked 1/2 cup split peas (overnight) and blended it with 3/4 cup water. I would recommend adding another half cup water because it was really thick when I mixed it on the stove and not as flexible and jiggly. Still great though.

I blended 1/2 cup water with half of a beet separately, but I would recommend just using a 1/4. Strained it, then poured it in a saucepan to boil. (non stick makes life easier but it's okay if you don't have it). Then followed the recipe to a T. It taste like baloney. I'm planning on using it for musubi second time around.

I never clicked on a video that fast before in my life 😭😭😭😭
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RECIPE 🫡💕

I made this tonight with 1/3 c pea protein instead of soy bean okara, because I didn't have any; it taste great so far. I can't wait to slice it tomorrow. This recipe makes A LOT. Next time i'll make a half recipe.

[SusanSantiago_]

Just made it!! It’s delicious! Reminds me of Oscar Meyer Bologna or hot dogs! I added Spanish Paprika 1tsp garlic and 1/2tsp onion powder as you suggested and I omitted okara and asafetida. Thank you! 😋😋

[SuperTilly]

Thank you. looks really good, instead of barbaque sauce why not try smoked salt.

[MrRatkilr]

I have to try this. I always loved the older spam from 70s and early 80s. New spam dont taste the same. Been vegan for one year now. Vegan spam would be awesome.

[DanteVelasquez]

That looks delish. Paprika or smoked paprika would be a good addition :-)

[leadharsh]

Its so lovely that you tell us why you're adding each ingredient and what its role is so its super easy to make some altercations! Ill definitely be trying this very soon!

Hello! I am so curious about your accent, Inga. To my ears it's got hints of Geordie and maybe a slight Irish sounding accent, but I get the feeling from some of the things you say along with your name, that you might be Scandi.

I'm a British southerner but lived in Newcastle upon Tyne for some years before moving to Norway.

Please tell us about yourself ❤

I'm so excited to try your recipes!

[ChefTJ]

That looks fantastic!! Thanks for sharing your talent.

[joditork]

Hi. I just want to add that since this makes a lot I did try to freeze some. This did not work at all. It completely changed the texture and became inedible. It releases water and tastes gritty once defrosted.

[savvyshopper]

Looks very good! Thanks for all your hard work! I dont know what okara is, so will look up.

[victoriablanc]

yes anytime you degrade plastic--with heat, freezing or continual reuse- it gives off toxins called dioxins that are carcinogens, Do not put hot food in plastic, Having said that I cannot wait to try this. we have a ton of okara from soymilk making and we don't like the store bought began lunch meat replacements. great video. and am really looking FW to this one. and I just subscribed!

[yajnagaurangadas]

I learn English language as well from this beautiful lady

[CharGC]

I was wondering if instead of cooking on the stove if I could steam this in the Instant pot? I'm going to make some soy yogurt so this is a perfect use for the okara! Looks really good!

[tinafranco]

Thank you for this Amazing recipe! I am making this for sure. #govegan

[onexpressocafe]

How many servings would you say this recipe makes. Nice container by the way, great recipe. I need to figure the carb count for my husband, minus the burned pot lol. The crust w/rice is a delicious delicacy. That would be nice fried in a pan.

[WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

Can't wait to try this! Am I right in concluding the amounts for the ingredients are EXACTLY the same with or without the okara? I could not spot a difference.

[lolasatnam]

Hi! Love it! Its chickpea flour the same? Thanks
