You can cut down the cost of cashews a bit by buying cashew pieces rather than whole cashews. They do cost less and since you're going g to blend them anyway, pieces are just as good.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Great tip!! Thank you for sharing! 😃

@CharGC123 9 месяцев назад

So true and also, depending on the recipe, you can also cut the cashews by half (or more) and sub in half cooked oats, or white beans, or potatoes, or tofu, or cauliflower or zucchini!

Try using green olive brine over nooch ... that’s the salty water that the green olives are in .. just a couple of teaspoons of the liquid and it will give it a great cheese flavour. Don’t over do it, you want just a hint of sourness. I prefer it for mozzarella for flavour and colour.

Let us know how it turns out! Cornstarch will thicken it for sure, the tapioca is what gives it that “stretchy” texture, so I have definitely made this sauce without it and it turned out fine! For lasagna, I would recommend using a ricotta in the middle layers (you can search my vids for “ricotta” I have one made of tofu!) and then this “mozzarella” type cheese (the one in this video) just for the top. Just my 2 cents though! 😁😁

Thanks for the recipes. Can you shred this cheese for pizzas after refrigeration?

@LetsEatPlants 2 года назад

You’re welcome! Unfortunately this is not the best recipe for shreddable cheese. If you’re looking for one you can shred, it will probably require either the ingredient kappa carrageenan or agar agar, like in this recipe for example: thishealthykitchen.com/meltable-vegan-cheese/ But I do use this stretchy mozzarella on pizza! It does solidify after refrigeration (just not enough to shred), so after it firms up you can scoop it with a spoon and add small blobs to your pizza… similar to how a fresh mozzarella would be. 😊😊

I have also read that arrowroot loses some of it's thickening abilities when it's cooked too long!??

Hi, please can I use cassava starch in place of the tapioca starch??

@LetsEatPlants 2 месяца назад

I believe they’re the same!? Here’s what chatGPT says: “Cassava starch and tapioca starch refer to the same product derived from the cassava root. Tapioca starch is simply another name for cassava starch, and both terms are used interchangeably. The starch is extracted from the cassava root and is widely used in cooking and baking for its thickening properties. So, there is no difference between cassava starch and tapioca starch; they are the same substance.” Hope that helps! 😊

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Yes it will! But not straight from the fridge. Once it cools it becomes more solidified and much less gooey. So if you want it to return to that original state, try heating it up first on the stove or even in the microwave. Usually I do about 20 seconds in the microwave and then add it to my tortillas on the stove and make my quesadillas that way! You also don't need to reheat the whole portion, just take out what you need for each serving and re-heat it that way. (Even solidified it should still be pretty easy to scoop out.) 😊

Any alternative for nutritional yeast, please.. thanks in advance!

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Good question! Do you have access to brewer’s yeast? That would be the most similar to nutritional yeast. If not, I would use a small amount of some white miso paste or veggie broth paste (like the better than bouillon brand) or maybe even vegemite? I haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard it has that similar, umami flavor. Could be worth a try! Essentially you are trying to get an umami, salty favor.. so if you can think of anything else that would work for that, let us know! Otherwise, I hope one of these will work for you!

@@LetsEatPlants thanks for your reply , can't we use regular yeast?

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

@@deepalibadge9969 regular yeast (if you are referring to baker's yeast?) is actually used for bread making, it is used to make the bread rise. This is a different kind of yeast. Nutritional yeast is not used to make anything "rise", it is used for flavor! That is why I suggested to replace it with some similarly-umami flavored items. 😋 Do a quick google search of yeast vs. nutritional yeast and you can clearly see the differences. Hope that helps! 😀

There's also A LOT of sodium in store bought premade vegan cheese, let alone the other ingredients that are used as stabilizers. I stopped consuming them and investigating making homemade vegan "cheeses". I find it interesting though that vegans want a pseudo-cheese. Personally, I'm not a vegan nor a vegetarian. But I am trying to eat healthier.

@LetsEatPlants 2 года назад

I think a lot of vegans want a pseudo-cheese because they miss the taste! At least that is the case for myself. 😊😊 But yes, I do love the clean ingredients of a homemade cheese and trying to eat healthier is always a good thing. ☺️

@magentamagenta1274 Год назад

There’s a big difference in being a vegan and eating a plant based diet. I try to avoid processed foods they aren’t very healthy, often they are loaded with emulsifiers, unhealthy oils, palm sugar, high sodium, they are marketed to appeal as replica dairy cheese, meat or convenience food and are just as unhealthy as any processed foods containing meat or dairy.. I used to eat vegan cheese but now make most of my plant based foods and nut milk from scratch it’s not difficult and I know what’s going into the food. I also make soy milk and use the okara for lots of healthy recipes along with organic soy beans. I agree that it’s odd that so many people call themselves vegan and crave plant based cheese or meat flavours. I’m going to try this recipe with peanuts or maybe chickpea flour, cashews are high FODMAP. Thanks for sharing your recipes it’s good to experiment with different options :)

How do you thin it out if you want to drizzle it on top of your pizza

@LetsEatPlants 7 месяцев назад

Add much less tapioca starch! I would only use about 1 tsp. If you want it thinner. 😊

@Durelle820 6 месяцев назад

@@LetsEatPlants Thank you. I’m not vegan but I’m dairy free. I ordered my first vegan pizza and it had the best flavor. I never realized how flavorless mozzarella is. If I knew how delicious it was I would’ve order before I went DF. If you want a cheese with more flavor do you add more nutritional yeast?

@LetsEatPlants 6 месяцев назад

@@Durelle820 Oh nice! That’s great to hear it was yummy! So flavor definitely depends on what kind of cheese you’re trying to replicate.. because as you mentioned something like mozzarella is kind of bland, and something like a cheddar would have a lot more flavor. Nutritional yeast, usually yes that is what is used for flavor (or miso paste), but if you’re looking for something like tang it might need more vinegar, lemon or something like lactic acid. There’s a vegan cheese Facebook group that has a lot of recipes and helpful info you might want to join if you’re going to be making a lot of your own vegan cheese. Hope this helps!

Just saw a video talking about how vegan cheese doesn't melt & isn't stretchy. Now I'm seeing this. I'm confused

@LetsEatPlants 2 года назад

Hahahaha. Well.. vegan cheese is still pretty new! And not all vegan cheeses are good... although luckily they are getting better all the time! When I first went vegan there were *not* a lot of store bought options, and the ones that did exist weren’t very stretchy or melty!! So it’s likely that wherever you heard that info was referring to those cheeses. Nowadays there have been a lot of improvements and a lot more melty & strechiness added. 😆😆 Especially when you make homemade cheeses, since those can be altered to add more of the ingredients that add stretchiness. You can definitely find vegan cheeses that melt & stretch, though probably not exactly the same as dairy milk cheese (for now). But they are still delicious and most are worth a try! Hope this helps!

If vegan stuff is so great, why do you have to keep naming your food items as non vegan things. Why can't it rest on it's own merits?

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Good question! I think it's mainly to have a name people recognize. For example, what would be a good name for this cheese here if we don't use the word "cheese"? In addition, a lot of vegans try to recreate familiar flavors, textures etc. so we use the same names associated with those food items. Many of us used to like the taste of animal products (cheese, meat, etc.) so it's not that we don't want the taste, we just don't want to contribute to the industry, that's all. 😊😊

@Rundvelt 3 года назад

@@LetsEatPlants Exactly, it's a marketing thing. You call it cheese because it brings clicks, it allows people to relate to the item and sort of come in with expectations that you can then manage. But that's not talking about the product. That's simply misleading people no? Why not call it "Cashew Shairna" (pronounced share-na). I literally just made that up. Imagine you're having people over. "Yeah, please enjoy the fresh corn chips, feel free to use the salsa or the cashew shairna." "Wait, what's cashew shairna?" "Oh, it's cashews that have been softened and mixed with other ingredients into a warm, savory dip!" That's infinitely better then having something called "vegan cheese or cashew cheese" because people won't be let down by the taste (no, your stuff doesn't taste like cheese/mozzarella), and they'll be able to appreciate what they're eating because they'll have the right expectations going in. And if that's not enough, you've actually added to the culture of veganism. At least, that's the way I see it. If you're proud of what you make, let it stand on it's own.
