Tools needed:
  • Large pot
  • Salt
  • Mozzarella curd
  • Colander
  • Large bowl
  • Spoon
  • Bowl of ice water
Steps:
1.  Take boiling salted water and pour it on top of the mozzarella curd until the curd is covered
2.  Stir the curd around with the spoon to help break down and melt

3.  Lift and rotate the curd with the spoon to stretch for a smooth silky consistency

4.  Take off chunk from curd and begin to work it into a ball

5.  With your thumbs, stretch and smooth out the curd to push out the excess liquids and air pockets

6.  Grab and pinch it from the bottom to complete the form of the ball

7.  Drop it in the ice water to help solidify and maintain the ball shape
