I made vegan deli meat from leftover wheat starch! | Cured Vegan Ham

Potato Powder Cheese:    • Making Vegan Cheese from Instant Mash...  
Is it possible to make vegan ham from food waste? Making wash the flour seitan leaves you with an abundance of starch, and this week's video was an experiment into turning that spawn [of seitan] into a delicious vegan deli meat.

It was a very theoretical recipe, and I'm absolutely thrilled with how well it worked. A few tweaks are needed to turn it into the prosciutto that I'd hoped for, but I'm definitely on to something and I'll continue to play around with the ingredients. I'm so pleased that a by-product of vegan meat-making can be turned into something fantastic. It has a really nice chew for your back teeth, and the flavours can be so easily customised. It also works out fairly cheap to produce, which make it a winner in my book!

In this video, you'll learn:
✅ What is spawn?
✅ How to extract wheat starch from a bag of flour
✅ How to make starch into a workable dough
✅ How to add meaty texture and flavour to wheat starch
✅ How to make a low-gluten meat substitute
✅ How to cook cured vegan ham
✅ How to cure vegan meat
✅ Ideas for a vegan charcuterie board

A website with printable recipes will happen at some point (this has all turned into rather a large project!) but in the meantime, here’s the ingredients. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or suggestions

Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!
