Vegan Cheese Sticks

I apologize for the slightly blurry photo, it seems like all of my photos have been like this lately. These didn't turn out as well as I wanted them to - but you can modify them as you like.

(Vegan Cheese Sticks Ingredients)

• 3-5 tbl Agar Agar
• 3-5 tbl Cold Water
• 1 cup Original (or unsweetened) Soymilk
• 3-5 tbl Yellow Miso Paste
• 3 tbl Nutritional Yeast
• A few drops of India Tree Yellow Dye (optional)
• A pinch of Sea Salt (optional)

(Directions)

• Combine your water and agar agar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
• Bring your soymilk to a boil.
• Add agar agar blend to the soymilk, stir in the miso paste and then add the nutritional yeast and dye. Make sure everything is mixed well.
• Pour it into a very small square mold to make the pieces thick.
• Let it sit for about 2 hours and then slice and enjoy!

Vegan Kamaboko Exists

I've gotten some great suggestions for vegan kamaboko and decided to make this as firm as possible without it being like a rock. I used extra-firm tofu so that the vegan kamaboko wouldn't just be vegetarian jello and then I added exra beet juice after I fully blended the water together with it.

(Vegan Kamaboko Ingredients)

• Beet Juice for Color (you'll add it throughout)
• 1 Cup of Cold Water
• 1 and 1/2 tbl Agar Agar (soaked for 5 min. in 3 tbl of water)
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tbl Mirin
• 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/3 Package of Extra-Firm Tofu

(Directions)

• Put the cold water in a medium-sized saucepan and add in enough beet juice for a dark pink color.
• Place the agar and the rest of the ingredients, except for the tofu in and boil it until it starts to firm up.
• Press your tofu until mostly dry.
• Crumble tofu into a large blender. Add in all of the agar and then liquefy until it is all a light pink color.
• Add in some extra beet juice to darken it even more and mix once more.
• Place into your preferred mold and let it sit for five minutes outside of the fridge, place into the fridge for about 15 more minutes or so until firm.
• Enjoy!

• Tomato paste

(Directions)

• Mix together all of the dry ingredients and slowly add the water.
• Once it is fully incorporated, knead the dough into an elastic ball and place underneath a damp kitchen towel (I placed mine on top of a floured cutting board for an hour, but you can use whatever you have).
• rolled the dough as thinly as possible and cut out my shapes as best as I could. (You can use whatever you have - it doesn't have to be the kitty).
• Cover them in tomato paste, cheese, cayenne pepper and the vegan pepperoni curls.
• Place them onto a greased baking sheet with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the cheese and the bread have browned and cooked.
• Enjoy!
