Soy Lecithin: The Surprising Ingredient Revolutionizing Modern Cooking

Learn on Skillshare: www.skillshare.com/en/r/profi...
Soy Lecithin is one of the most popular ingredients, used in molecular cuisine. The most notable application of powdered Soy Lecithin is when making culinary foams & bubbly edible light airs. Check my earlier video on a breakdown of culinary foam making: • How to make edible CUL... However, this video is not just about that! In this video we will take a closer look at the ingredient itself. Talk about what it is, it’s properties & how it works, and finally, I will share with you several cooking applications for Soy Lecithin in the kitchen, and showcase 2 most interesting ones.
We will look at Soy Lecithin as an emulsifier and make an indestructible salad dressing / vinaigrette that won’t split for days. And, we will also talk about it’s foaming properties and make a spicy culinary foam.
I really hope this video will give you a basic understanding of this amazing molecular gastronomy ingredient and will inspire you to use it in a variety of ways in your cooking!

chef Rudakova looks just like a barbie doll I have seen in so many toys sections for kids in my country.😀

[@mhrgall]

WOw!! You are just amazing!! As a former culinary teacher, I have been looking all over for someone to explain, in video form, how lecithin works as an emusifier, plus as a stabilizer of foams! You have covered EVERYTHING and more in such a short video, and made it really fun and easy to understand! Thanks SO much 😀

[@retomeili6690]

Amazing video. I love that you explained the difference between xanthan gum and soy lecithin, because I wasn't totally sure about which one was better for my particular application. It's so nice to watch someone who really knows what they are doing.

[@kevincompton-jamesvalles2391]

[@mnamous9823]

I love these ingredients videos; they’re truly informative and you explain the science very well. A question: do you have any books to recommend where we can learn more about these ingredients (besides Modernist Cuisine, of course)?

[@ChefRudakova]

Thank you! 🤓✌🏻 Modernist Cuisine is one of the best for sure. The latest book that I bought on this subject is “Ideas in Food”, but it only has a few pages on modernist ingredients. When I do research for my videos, I consult with both of these books, also the “Professional Cooking” bible and most importantly I do loooots of research on the web. I hope it helps 😉

[@joshuadas6949]

I always wondered what soy lecithin is ! Well now I know 😁

[@ChefRudakova]

I’m glad I’ve helped 🤓✌🏻

[@thecovering]

What were you going to say about egg lecithin?

[@poseydon7]

Thank you for such great video! I will try to add soy lecithin and xanthan gum to my salad dressing. Did you try to add soy lecithin or xanthan gum to hollandaise sauce to make it more stable?

[@ChefRudakova]

Love this question! And thank you🤓 I don't think lecithin will do much extra stabilization for Hollandaise, as there're are eggs in this sauce already, and eggs contain plenty of Lecithin inside... Xanthan Gum, however, will most likely add more stability, but I haven't tried it myself... let me know if you try this one✌🏻 The difficulty with Hollandaise is not stability as much, ad that it needs to be kept at a certain temperature, which is in the food danger zone. And we should not keep food products in at such temperatures for too long, due to rapid bacteria growth. So the difficulty is that you are supposed to make hollandaise basically to order... or very close it it anyway, i.e. the amount of times that you need to repeat this not so straight forward process. And in order to make it easier, you can use a siphon, pre Hollandaise in advance and disperse it to order. Much easier and less time consuming process. I hope it helps you🤓✌🏻

[@profile_01]

Im trying to emulsify oils into soups but it keeps breaking even w/ lecithin, honey, mustard is added and using an immersion blender. What am I doing wrong?

[@veganchefshabnam-coppervan6702]

very cool! love your creative ideas!! a couple of questions for you: what do you usually do with the remaining liquid? can you store in the fridge and foam it again? How long does the foam stay foamy? Thanks! :-)

[@ChefRudakova]

Yes, you can store it in the fridge & foam again. If you use the aerolatte it’ll stay foamy I’d say for 30 min max... I didn’t really measure. But it stays foamy for quite a while 🤓✌🏻

[@veganchefshabnam-coppervan6702]

Chef Rudakova thank you! 🙂

[@robertburr4202]

Hi chef rudakova love your videos, just a question does soy lecithin go off in the powdered form ? As I have purchased a molecular gastronomy kit off of eBay and the powders are out of date by a few years lol,

[@ChefRudakova]

Hey there 🙋‍♀️ As far as I know, Lecithin is considered as a non-perishable item, but if the producer had put an expiry date on it, you should better trust the producer and reframe from using it. Sorry 😞

[@zaccomusic]

nice video friend

I've seen people use it to make cannabis edible products. It helps the thc bind to fat molecules. Making the effects stronger.

[@akankshasharma2027]

It's an ingredient in chocolate spreads, but I don't know how it works since there's no water, only fat in it. I wanted to make my own coffee spread, was researching emulsifiers and hence landed here.

[@MrWnw]

@@akankshasharma2027 a) There is going to be some water always present. b) small amount of lecithin in chocolate increases its fluidity, more lecithin will start to decrease it
