I’ve tried making bechamel with soy milk and oat milk, and not a fan of either right now. I think I should try a nut milk. Any recommendations? Also I think I might want to try soy milk again because the last one I used had added sugar and also I slightly burned the roux. Any other tips for vegan bechamel?

    Hey comrade,

    I’m not much of a chef myself, but I happen to know one! I asked him what kind of milk he’d use for a creamy milky sauce (I didn’t know how to pronounce bechamel) and he said “they usually call for just any non-dairy milk” but when I pushed for a recommendation he said soy, and added to make sure it’s not the vanilla kind. If you want, he has legit dozens of recipe books, and I can look up a bechamel recipe if you’d like!

      I don’t need a recipe, thanks though! I’ll try again with soy milk, but making sure there’s no added sugar or vanilla. Also I should get a recipe book… Finding recipes online is easy enough, but a recipe book is nice because I don’t have to already know what recipe I’m looking for, I could just open the book and find something.
