Soy lecithin
Soy lecithin is a soybean-derived emulsifying ingredient used in dressings, doughs and modernist cooking.
About Soy lecithin
Soy lecithin is a soybean-derived emulsifier added separately to help oil and water mix or to change the texture of a preparation. Modernist Cuisine uses liquid soy lecithin in vinaigrette and in an eggless brioche formula. It is a source-specific ingredient rather than a ready-made dressing or baking mix.
Soy lecithin is sold in liquid and powdered forms. They cannot always be swapped measure for measure: a published jus gras recipe specifically calls for liquid soy lecithin and says the powder will not work in that preparation. Check the required form and the particular product's ingredients before using a recipe quantity.
