Instructions

Step 1

Whisk all dry ingredients together.

Step 2

Mix all wet ingredients together (you might need to mash the miso paste with a fork to make sure it gets distributed evenly).

Step 3

Mix wet and dry ingredients together. Once dough forms, knead for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Shape dough into a slightly flattened (roast-looking) ball.

Step 5

Bake at 350°F for 45 mins, turning sides every 15 mins to ensure even cooking. I suggest using a silicone mat to help with cleanup.

Step 6

While the roast is baking, prepare the glaze: Add pineapple juice to a small sauce pot and whisk in cornstarch. Make sure no clumps of starch remain. Whisk the remaining ingredients in, and bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking regularly. Once boiling, continue whisking until the glaze thickens a little and starts to stick to your whisk/spoon (about 5 mins). The glaze doesn’t thicken much - it should be thin enough to pour easily.

Step 7

After the first 15 minutes, score the roast in a diamond pattern, and brush glaze on. At the next turn, brush more glaze on the bottom.

Step 8

Slice and serve the “ham” after letting rest for 15 minutes. Can top with additional glaze, and optional pineapple rings / orange slices.
