Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons agar agar flakes (see note)
  • 1 cup water, divided
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
  • ½ teaspoon reduced sodium miso
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:

  1. Mix agar agar and a ½ cup of water in a small pan. Slowly bring to a boil and simmer until flakes dissolve, about 3 – 5 minutes.  Remove heat.
  2. Blend remaining ½ cup water and all other ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth. Add agar agar mixture and blend again until well-dispersed.
  3. Refrigerate for 1 – 2 hours until firm

NOTE: If using agar agar powder instead of flakes, reduce amount to 2 teaspoons.  To make without agar agar, use only enough water to achieve desired consistency, about 2 tablespoons.  It will not firm up or “gel”.
