Wash and finely-dice the red pepper and jalapeño (remove the seeds - optional). Reserve.

2
Add all the remaining ingredients except for the peppers, soy milk, and agar-agar to the blender or food processor.
3

Blend the mixture for 3-5 min, or until you have obtained a smooth and creamy texture. Reserve the cheese.

Once the soy milk and the agar-agar mixture start boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer on low to medium heat for 5 minutes, whisking constantly.

Transfer the cheese into the saucepan, add the red pepper and the jalapeño to the mixture, and mix until fully combined.
