  • 50 g of cornstarch or potato starch
  • 60 ml + 2 tablespoons of soy milk
  • 70 g of soy yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons of corn oil
  • 1 pinch of salt

  • 1 pinch of salt

  Materials Needed

  • Casserole
  • Whip
  • Precision scale
  • Small bowl
  • Transparent film
  • Food cutting board
  • Knife
  • Immersion mixer and beaker

  Preparation

  1. Prepare a kind of vegetable cream by pouring 2 tablespoons of soy milk and 4 tablespoons of corn oil into a beaker. Mix everything with the immersion mixer until a slightly consistent sauce is obtained.

  Why prepare vegetable cream at home?
  Normally, margarine or other vegetable fats are used to prepare vagana mozzarella at home. In this version, it is recommended to prepare a kind of vegan cream or mayonnaise without lemon, simply by emulsifying oil and soy milk.

  2. In a saucepan, mix the cornstarch, the unsweetened soy milk, the natural soy yogurt, a pinch of salt and the vegetable cream obtained. Mix with a whisk or a wooden spoon until you get a thick cream.
  3. Put the saucepan on the stove and continue stirring. When the temperature of the compound increases, the first lumps will form: this phase is absolutely normal. By continuing to mix, the lumps will disappear and a compact ball will be obtained.
  4. Oil a small bowl with seed oil and distribute the vegan mozzarella obtained. Cover with cling film and allow to cool completely.
  5. Serve the mozzarella very cold, cut into slices, perhaps accompanied with basil, oil, cherry tomatoes and a pinch of salt.

  Alice's comment - PersonalCooker

  The appearance is extremely inviting. Perhaps the only factor that penalizes vegetable mozzarella a little is its inability to spin, clearly because the preparation procedure is completely different from that of cow mozzarella. The fact is that this vegetable mozzarella, eaten so "cold" (perhaps together with cherry tomatoes, basil and oil), or even over the pizza, was a real discovery for me that I would recommend to everyone.
