Chef Jana, thank you for showing us a new approach to cooking. You inspired me to create vegan soft boiled eggs. My grandmother used to make this for me when I was a child and the only egg dish I missed when I became vegan. Pour 2 cups unsweetened oat milk (or soy) into a sauce pan. Wisk in, 1 and 1/2 tbsp sour starch, 1 tsp tumeric, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp white pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 1 min or until thick, stir a couple of times so it doesn't stick. Add 1/2 tsp of black salt (to taste) and mix well. Gently stir in 12 oz (340 g) silken tofu. To me this has the taste and texture I remember but it's even better!
This is, by far, one of the best channels on UA-cam for vegan recipes. I recently found this and subscribed in the middle of the first video I watched. I've been binge watching and I love every recipe, so far. Excellent work Jana 🌹
The Lily whiteness, the lightness... and... the easiness! So easy to forget everything partaking from this cheese!🐳😁🐳😂🏋️♂️🐘 Thank You very much, Jana!🍎⛷🍏
Looks so good! I’ve made it so many versions of vegan cheeses, but nothing better than that tangy flavor. Vc já estou sou azeite de dendê, um pouco de virgem coconut oil, polvilho azedo, mandioca cozida e adiciona yogurte de castanha de caju? Fica um cheddar cremoso e delicioso.
Jana, is the "sweet starch" tapioca starch or cassava flour...I already have tapioca starch at home . I read this..."While sometimes the terms cassava flour and tapioca starch are used interchangeably, there are in fact distinct differences. Tapioca is a starch extracted from the cassava root through a process of washing and pulping. The wet pulp is then squeezed to extract a starchy liquid. Once all the water evaporates from the starchy liquid, the tapioca flour remains. Alternatively, cassava flour is the whole root, simply peeled, dried and ground." But I'm curious if eating any starch RAW a good idea? And especially cassava...which has cyanide in it when it's raw.... so I hope the raw flour/starch products don't???
No, they are not the same thing. What you are looking for is sour starch or almidon agrio, in Spanish, in Portuguese polvilho azedo. This one is fermented so it’s way different from other flour/ starches. Same goes for the sweet starch, or polvilho doce in Portuguese. They are definitely not the the same as cassava flour, and both are not made from the poisonous cassava type, there are some literature online you read about all the cassava differences.
@@ChefJana Hmm, I have never heard of that and wonder what one could use alternativley as I cant get sweet or sour starch as you describe it in New Zealand. Great work from you , thanks heaps.
That starch, both sweet and sour, are used in brazil for cheese breads. I make them with odoe roots which is even more cheese than cassava. Great recipe.
Essa é a receita mais genial que já vi aqui. Mais Brasileira impossível!!! Abençoada seja a nossa mandioca! O que mais me impressionou é que eu posso preparar isso sem fogo. Daria pra preparar em um piquenique. Muito legal. Obrigado Obrigado e Obrigado!
I was wondering if at some point you would yell "It's the oil! It's the OIL!" and, there you did! This looks like another winning recipe for vegan cheese; I have tried so many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. ThanksForPosting : )
the Green Olive Is a great idea… I did the cream cheese using nutritional yeast and it was too strong… This would be a good replacement for cream cheese… Sunday morning on a bagel with NOVA, capers, and onions... and a cup of dark roast … Heaven......👍❤...obrigado...🙏
I have never tried cooking with cassava. I did try cassava "ham" from the 'Go Vegan' brand by 'Synnoeve Finden', but it was not a success in my opinion. Cassava is probably far better suited as an ingredient in a cheese substitute than to use it to make a meltable and 'runny' vegan "ham" sandwitch😁
Hi Chef Jana. I'm new here and I already like your dishes. You are so friendly and fun to work with. Down here in Africa Botswana 🇧🇼. What would be the alternative if I can't find sweet and sour starch?
Thank you so much for the love! You can find sour and sweet starch online or if you have any Latino shop near you they will most certainly carry it. However, if you cannot find it at all, you can use tapioca starch. Just reminding you that the sour starch also adds a distinctive cheese taste to the recipe 😀 ❤️
Chef Jana both links show sour starch! I found sweet starch on Amazon, same brand. (copy & pasted from Amazon) Amafil Polvilho Doce Sweet Manioc Starch 1 KG Pack Of 2
How is this different from the cheese we made a month or two ago? The Mozt cheese? I made that cheese with cooked potatoes. It was OK (yes, I used the oil) but I could not get it to ‘melt’ and brown.
I know in my neck of the woods cassava will not be available, so will need to use potato. But which kind of potato is considered to be a 'starchy' one? Can't wait to try this!
I didn't know you could eat raw starch, I thought you were going to steam the cheese. I wonder if doing so would "set" the cheese. Definitely an interesting recipe. It looks great after grilling it!
I was surprised too! No cooking. Eat raw??? Never heard of these ingredients before. Must have missed those videos..going to investigate as this looks great. Wish no soy milk though... wonder if it tastes good..
I am going to make this but I was wondering if I could do half cassava half starchy potatoes? Just to cut out some of the cassava? This looks like an amazing vega cheese. I am wanting to cook it like a brie!!❤❤ Tfs Chef Jana!
Thank you Chef Jana for sharing this recipe, but you say this Cheese in particular isn't made to melt and be all gooey rich and good, so I'll be checking your other cheese recipes, its been a long time since I've enjoyed a tasty quesadilla. So if these Raw Cheese is like Brie and noticed it was easy to spread, would you say its also like cream cheese? The idea just came to me 💡, could we use this raw cheese to make a cream cheese pie? The thought of Vegan cheese pie with strawberries or chocolate is so tantalizingly yummy! 😋👍and greetings for your family and you! 👋🙂
You might want to put “vegan“ in the title of this video because as I was scrolling I saw it and I thought to myself “I wonder if this is vegan, probably not because surely it would say“. Even though I follow your channel I follow a lot of channels so don’t have in my head all of them that are actually vegan. Some of the ones I follow that aren’t vegan, is because I will modify it to be vegan. Just trying to help you out! Thanks for the lovely video.
Jana I used potatoes and cooked until just done, drained them. But need to triple the amount of tapioca starch in order to get the consistency you had at the end. Was it the potatoes?
What can I substitute vegetable oil with please? I cant consume coconuts, so coconut oil is out for me unfortunately. Would Olive oil or avocado oil work instead?
Hi Chefs Jana Do you have sour starch ingredients in English so I can find in USA? I know it is on Amazon, but I need to know ingredients. Thanks wonderful information.
It turned out really tasty :) but quite hard, I don't know where I went wrong. I will try again, I have plenty of cassava leftover. Edit: second attempt was great. I love it and I can't stop eating it.
Hi Jana! I pretty sure the "sweet starch" is actually the same as tapioca starch. Isn't it? I've always seen it translated like that. Lovely cheese, as usual!
Cassava should not be eaten raw because it contains cyanoglucosides which convert to cyanide in the body when they are consumed. Cassava flour is usually produced by drying the raw cassava root until completely dehydrated, and then it can be ground into a flour. THis drying process does not cook it. It is still raw. This is not considered an issue to manufacturers because generally speaking, people always use cassava flour to cook with, such as gluten free baking, making pies, pastries, breads etc. In other words, it is understood that it will be cooked before being eaten. There may be some rare exception to this flour production method, whereby they are cooking the cassava root before drying it, but I have never heard of that (but I don't know everything!). I eat cassava root and bake with cassava flour all the time, absolutely love it, but I always eat it cooked, no matter what form it takes. So please be careful! If anyone comes across info regarding a cassava flour production method that does actually cook it before drying and grinding, please post a reply with a link so that I can continue to educate myself! Bon Appetit, everyone
Dear Jana, today my starches arrived and I went to work immediately. Your cheese looks kind of soft inside and gets a little "wobbly" when grilled. Mine was rubberlike and kind of hard and tasted extremely starchy. Do you have any idea what went wrong with my cheese?
@@ChefJana you know what I like most about you is the personality that you have when you show these recipes in your videos. You are such a real down-to-earth person I wish I lived next door to you especially where you live LOL
Michigan Lady, the sweet starch is justo tapioca starch, you can find it in the gluten free section in most supermarkets. I use the Bob's Red Mill brand
You are such an inspiration to the Vegan community. Another winning recipes like all of your recipes. ♥️♥️👍👍

Thanks Jana, I always follow your recipies. They are wonderful.
Hi Jana! Yay, Vegan cheese! 🧀. As I have said, one can never have too many vegan cheese recipes! 😋💚🧀
Oh, no! Drooled over my cell phone📱😂 (again!) watching you frying that vegan cheese for sandwiches! 😋🧀
The Lily whiteness, the lightness... and... the easiness! So easy to forget everything partaking from this cheese!🐳😁🐳😂🏋️♂️🐘
Thank You very much, Jana!🍎⛷🍏
I could eat the whole thing in one sitting Jana! Omg 🤪 thank you ♥️
You're so cute, Jana. Announce it to the world--oil is the secret to meltable vegan cheese. "It's the OIL!!" Love it!
I bought sweet starch at the same time as I did sour starch, just in case, months ago 😁 I am ready for this!
I LOVE cassava. Will definitely try this.
Great video! My love, please share a vegan pizza recipe with us someday. ❤
Will do! 😘
Thank you for this recipe and for teaching us how to cook your wonderful dishes. 🥰😊🥰
Gracias mil!
De nada!
Looks so good!

What is odoe root ? is it from Brazil? What would the english term be. Thank you
Nossa que diferente e interessante! Adorei! Nem sabia que podia comer o polvilho cru 🤔. Obrigada por compartir essa receita 🙏🤗
Many thanks for a wonderful present :) This is so easy and looks good 👍🍷💚
My pleasure, Helena! 😊
I cannot wait to make this. I'm going shopping for the ingredients tomorrow. YAYYYYY
Love how easy it is
Dear chef Jana could you please give the measurement in weight or doesn't it matter what size cup, thanks in advance, love you❣️
Oh now Tina is a chef! Nice.

So glad you give alternatives to nutritional yeast which i hate. Than you 💕
You’re welcome! 😘
Thanks Jana !
Looking forward to making this soon!

Ha! You know your chef here don’t you?… 😁😘
Fantastic, Chef! Have you tried fermenting this as well? 🤔
Chef Jana, boa noite. Sweet starch e sour starch correspondem ao polvilho doce e azedo, respectivamente, correto? Obrigada
Exatamente, Lisie :)

If you can't find cassava locally to cook, but you can get cassava flour can you use that? And if so, how much? Thank you so much.
Thank you Chef Jana
😳 Meu Deus!!! Que perfeito!!!
Sem tofu, sem glúten!!!
This looks sooooo yummy!!!!
Ah Chef Jana! I wish we were neighbors! I’d volunteer to be your assistant just for the tastes!
And I’d gladly accept it! 😘You have no idea how much I need some extra help here… 😅

Bom día Chef! Farofa tradicional its not The same isnt it? Because here in Argentina, its the only one I have found. Thanks!!!
Yummo. thank you Jana
Hello Yvette
Mmmmmmmmmm. Thank you‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️❤️🌱❤️🌱❤️💃💃💃💃💃💃
Maybe steam it in the mold to fully cook it! I’ve seen that method in other vegan cheeses
Can get a slice of this masterpiece
I have maniok flour at home can I also try it with that ? 😬 instead of the cassava? 🌸 many greetings from Germany 💓 love love love your Videos
Amazing woman Chef Jana💜

based on my experience trying it with cassava and potatoes yes it was the potatoes.
Hi Jana, want to know whether sweet starch & tapioca starch are same
Yes it is.
Hi! Can you flavor this cheese with spices or peppers
Making it to take to a party. Thanks
Chef Jana …. Cassava the root or flour?
What can I substitute vegetable oil with please? I cant consume coconuts, so coconut oil is out for me unfortunately. Would Olive oil or avocado oil work instead?
Yum!!!
Hi Chefs Jana
Do you have sour starch ingredients in English so I can find in USA? I know it is on Amazon, but I need to know ingredients. Thanks wonderful information.
You could probably mix in different herbs to make different flavors.
What can we use instead of soir starch. I can’t find it.
Been looking for shreddble meltable vegan cheese. Can you please make one if possible?
It turned out really tasty :) but quite hard, I don't know where I went wrong. I will try again, I have plenty of cassava leftover.
Edit: second attempt was great. I love it and I can't stop eating it.
Yesss!!!! :)
Jana, What about using refined coconut oil?
Dear Jana I got the acedo kind. You think I can use it in the cheese making?
i looked up the starch. there are so many names. which one?
Tap the links in her description box..
Hi Jana! I would like to ask: can I use Tapioca instead of sweet and sour starch?
I bought some and on both packets it says tapioca starch. One sweet and one sour.
How big should the cassava be??
Hi Jana! I pretty sure the "sweet starch" is actually the same as tapioca starch. Isn't it? I've always seen it translated like that.

I wonder if I’m one of those sensitive to raw cassava starch🤔. I’ve never had an opportunity to find out before now!
Can I substitute the sour and sweet starch if I cannot find it?
Dear Jana, today my starches arrived and I went to work immediately. Your cheese looks kind of soft inside and gets a little "wobbly" when grilled. Mine was rubberlike and kind of hard and tasted extremely starchy. Do you have any idea what went wrong with my cheese?
Almidón of what?
I made the cheese today and it was so hard as a Parmesan. I used corn starch and potato starch...as sour and sweet. Could that be the problem?
🤩
Im from India.. and the shop keepers here look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for sweet starch and sour starch..could you help..
👏👏👏👏😍😍💕😘
Can u put herbs in it
Sure!
No its illegal
"Cheese" just means sour of r fermentation. That could apply to anything.
Yes, and it tastes amazing! :)
@@ChefJana you know what I like most about you is the personality that you have when you show these recipes in your videos. You are such a real down-to-earth person I wish I lived next door to you especially where you live LOL
What did I do wrong? Mine is not elastic
So can l cook it and chill it???
What kind of cassava cause all I seen on Amazon was cassava flour or chips and IDK what it is
Expensive cheese. It $44.00 for the sweet starch and $7.99 for the sour starch . But sounds yummy
If you manage to buy it locally at your latino or asian shop is way cheaper, around 3 dollars each starch ;)
Thank you so much.
Michigan Lady, the sweet starch is justo tapioca starch, you can find it in the gluten free section in most supermarkets. I use the Bob's Red Mill brand
How long does it keep?
Isn't safe to eat uncooked tapioca starch?
You have to cook it as in a grilled cheese or pizzas, for example
BGR
Oh lala girl you're the fairy vegan God mother!!!!
I think RAW is an incorrect title though. The Cassava is cooked and the starches are cooked and processed.
True. 😉
Useless because I cannot get ingredients😕
