Mozzarella #

I’ve tried to make this recipe work with soybeans or tofu, but it throws off the delicate flavor. The 1:2 ratio of agar agar to tapioca powder creates the perfect consistency. It’s gooey when hot, but solidifies when cool.

Ingredients #

• 1/4 cup cashew (=32g)
• 1 c water
• 1/2 table lemon juice or 1/8 tea citric acid
• 1 table agar agar powder
• 2 table tapioca powder
• 1 table nutritional yeast
• 1 tea date sugar
• 3/4 tea salt
• 1/2 tea garlic powder

Instructions #

Grind cashews in a high speed blender. Gradually mix liquid with dry ingredients to avoid clumping. Heat to simmer and continue gentle heat for 5 minutes to ensure that the agar agar melts. If the texture remains grainy then you didn’t cook it enough.

You can probably cook it covered in a microwave too.
