Homemade Tofu

Its a satisfying process to make your own tofu because you can adjust the flavor and texture to your preference. This is a vegan freestyle recipe that makes delicious homemade tofu with basic ingredients and traditional methods.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups soybeans
• Water
• Coagulant such as nigari, gypsum, or lemon juice

Instructions:

Soak beans in water for the entire night

Soak the soybeans, then drain and rinse

Smoothly blend the soybeans with the fresh water

Pour the soy milk into a large pot after straining it through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag

Raise the temperature of the soy milk to about 180F 82C and stir from time to time

Stir the coagulant gently into the hot soy milk after dissolving it in a small amount of water

To allow the curds to form, let the mixture sit undisturbed for approximately 15 to 20 minutes

Ladle the curds into a tofu mold that has been lined with cheesecloth

To press out extra liquid, fold the cheesecloth over the curds and place a weight on top

Let the tofu press for a minimum of half an hour, or until the desired level of firmness is achieved

The tofu can be unmolded, sliced, and served right away, or it can be refrigerated in water for later use
