  2. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl: low-sodium vegetable broth, tomato paste, avocado oil, soy sauce, and liquid smoke.
  3. Gradually combine the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until a rough dough forms, then knead gently for about 5 minutes.
  4. Shape the dough into two logs, wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and steam in a basket over boiling water for 30-40 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, allow the logs to cool completely, unwrap, and slice thinly.
