Directions

2 mins to prep

30 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    Heat the soy milk in a pot until boiling.

  2. Step 2

    Turn off the heat, and stir through the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

  3. Step 3

    Place the lid on the pot and let sit for 10 minutes, allowing the mixture to split into curds and “whey”.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the mixture into a muslin cloth, straining it over a sieve and bowl to drain the liquid.

  5. Step 5

    Let sit with a weight on top until the clear liquid has drained and the ‘ricotta’ left behind has cooled.
