- Spread cheese thinly on a dinner plate or shallow pie plate.
- Add COLD water and let rehydrate for about 2-3 minutes
- Give it a little toss and spread it thinly again
- Leave it to rehydrate another 2 minutes.
- Strain by tipping plate slightly into the sink
- Avoid using a strainer so your cheese won't clump together.
- I'm sure at this point you could let it dry out a little more then put it in a ziplock and refrigerate. Adding a little cornstarch to the dry cheese might help it not to stick, too :)
You might ask why I use COLD water... well, have you ever left shredded cheese out on the counter on a warm day - gooey, clumps, right! Limit the clumping by using COLD rather than HOT water to rehydrate cheese. It works PERFECTLY!
