Thickening Agents

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Cashews

    Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender along with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine and Heat

    In a saucepan, combine the blended mixture with agar-agar powder and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes gooey, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cool and Set

    Pour the thickened mixture into a mold or container and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set properly.

  3. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Once set, remove the vegan mozzarella from the mold and slice it as desired. Serve on pizza, salads, or as a cheese substitute in any dish.
