I've been trying to make homemade shampoo, and I got two ingredients I was wanting to experiment with; lecithin and apple cider vinegar. I'm using a base of castille, or oil-based soap.
I dissolved some lecithin granules in apple cider vinegar and added the castile soap. Immediately -curds- formed. They were putty-like, and left a residue on my hands that didn't rinse off for jack, but just seeing the curds got me thinking about vegan paneer.
One reason why is that I noticed when I added some homemade hemp milk to a red curry some tiny curds formed in it (since the curry was slightly acidic). That made me really curious. I had attempted homemade cheese before, and those tiny curds looked similar to a result I had gotten with cows milk.
Well, if vinegar + lecithin makes curd-like structures with the addition of castille soap, I started wondering if it would do the same with hemp milk, since it's fat content is pretty high. If hemp milk curdles anyway, then it seems like a win-win to me.
Anyway, this is probably something I'm going to experiment with soon.
