How to Make Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese in the Microwave
This is how I used to make this a long time ago. It's easy to remember the amounts of ingredients and the ratios! This is especially convenient when you don't want to buy cheese and you can make it!
When you make the whey recipe, rather than boiling it, make it with milk and it's low calorie. If you bring it up to just before boiling in a pot it will dry out. So, be sure to cook it at a low temperature so that you can control the firmness. It's easier and tastier this way. Recipe by mini

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat up the milk in the microwave at 500 W for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Pour in the vinegar and stir with a spoon 2 to 3 times.
- 2
The milk fat will soon start to separate, so after 1 minute, pour through a tea strainer etc. and let it sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze the cheese with the backside of a spoon in the strainer and it's ready!
- 3
If you want to make it more firm, wrap it up in paper towel and rest a glass bottle, etc. on top as a weight. Let it rest for 1-2 nights. Then use a cheese cloth to strain it.

You can make it more rich by mixing in salt or skim milk powder, etc. The picture shows the cheese I made using balsamic vinegar. The style, color and aroma are quite delicious.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese Homemade Ricotta Cheese
I watched a cooking program for cheese on TV in Sydney.It looked so easy to make so I tried the recipe straight away.If you prefer a creamier taste, add heavy cream into the milk.I usually use 300 ml of heavy cream and 700 ml of milk.But if you do so, it changes the taste from your typical ricotta cheese, little by little.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese Homemade Ricotta Cheese
I always feel like I buy a tub of ricotta and only use it for one recipe. The rest just goes to waste and molds in the fridge. So this time I tried making my own and it turns out it is simple, easy and delicious. I'll never buy grocery store ricotta again. The higher quality dairy you use the better it will be. This recipe also only makes about two cups but is so easy to multiply.

Low-Calorie Custard Prepared in the Microwave Low-Calorie Custard Prepared in the Microwave
Custard with heavy cream sure is delicious…but it's also high in calories. Plus, heavy cream is a pain to get rid of when there's some left over. So at some point, custard that doesn't use heavy cream became my go-to for dessert-making.Be sure to add the egg yolk after adding just a bit of the milk (if you add the yolk before that it'll get lumpy). I use a 700 W microwave. Please adjust the cooking time according to your microwave at home. Recipe by Yukiline -

Since you just mix everything together I don't have any hints.The cake is 348 calories in total. Recipe by gh97923 -
Easy Homemade Tofu in a Microwave Easy Homemade Tofu in a Microwave
I've had many failed trials with the tofu becoming too runny or bursting midway... So, I've finally managed to put this recipe together after many experiments.Make sure not to cover the container with plastic wrap when microwaving the tofu.In Step 3: When you are letting the tofu rest for 5 minutes and then for 10 minutes, leave it in the microwave with the door closed, instead of taking it out.In Step 2: Heating time will vary according to the size of the container you use. In my case, I split up my 500 ml of soy milk in thirds to make this tofu. Recipe by Yukiyuko -
Cheese Mochi in the Microwave Cheese Mochi in the Microwave
When we eat mochi for New Years, I always make it like this.My mother used to make it for me when I was a child. I love it even more than I like mochi cakes in soup.You don't have to wrap the mochi cakes in nori seaweed, and you only need 1 plate. This is easy, so you can have mochi even in the morning.In addition, by using plastic wrap the mochi won't get stuck to the plate, so cleanup is easy. Recipe by yakopuyo -
Simple Yogurt Cream in the Microwave Simple Yogurt Cream in the Microwave
I got the idea for this yogurt-based cream from a microwaveable custard cream recipe. "Custard Cream in the Microwave",.This cream may seem a little runny when just made but should firm up nicely when chilled (this should take approximately 1 day).This cream isn't very sweet so please feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

Easy White Sauce in the Microwave Easy White Sauce in the Microwave
I was able to easily make this by referring to Ms. Sachiko Murakami's microwavable recipes. The flavor is simple but skim milk powder and vegetable oil turned out to be a hit and it was easy to make! I have used this in other recipes as well and it doesn't affect the flavor.If you're want a stronger and richer flavor, butter is the best. Using vegetable or oilve oil gives it a more simple flavor. It's hard to thicken it though so please refer to Step 5. I think it's best to heat up gradually and cook down till the moisture evaporates. In Step 4, be sure to mix well so that the flour doesn't settle on the bottom. Recipe by maynyan
