what can i use in place of rejuvelac? raw vegan "cheese"

[crunchy_mommy]

I tried making a fermented cheese-type thing with raw sunflower seeds & tap water with a bit of miso. It was good but not GREAT so I want to try to make a cashew one.

Most of the raw cheeses I see call for rejuvelac but I just don't have the time or ambition to make some. I was thinking of doing just soaked raw cashews, miso, & tap water... will it ferment well without the rejuvelac? Is there something else (preferrably standard kitchen item) that will help it along?

First of all, please share your recipe!!

Second, rejuvelac has loads of cultures and you would need to replace the cultures or just the liquid. Water may work. The rejuvelac may be just an extra for goodness. The miso may be enough for cultures.

I may try water kefir for an experiment.

I got the "recipe" (more like instructions) here:

The sunflower one really did turn out pretty good so I'm excited to see how this one turns out! I already soaked the cashews so I'm going to go blend it up now... I'll just use water & miso and see how it goes!
