How to make homemade tofu

Appetite is also a desire, and in order to satisfy this desire, you will try everything. Although you have been satisfied countless times in the process, your heart is still empty because you have not done it yourself. In order to meet your needs, the editor will now introduce to you how to make homemade tofu.

1.12 Soak the soybeans for about eight or nine hours until they are completely soaked.

2.21 Add water to soybeans and grind them into soy milk using a food processor or soy milk maker (with cold drink function). Find a large clean cotton cloth and place it on a larger bowl.

3.12 Pour the soy milk through the sieve into the cotton cloth.

4.21 Filter out the bean dregs and squeeze them as dry as possible.

5.1 Simmer over low heat, stirring in circles with a large spoon while cooking to prevent the pot from getting stuck.

6.2 Put the soy milk into the pot, heat it over medium-low heat, and skim off the foam on the surface with a spoon.

7. Turn off the heat after the soy milk boils.

8. Now mix 4 grams of lactone with 25 grams of warm water and allow it to dissolve.

9. Remove the soy milk from the heat and let it cool naturally to around 80 or 90 degrees. You can use a thermometer, which will be more accurate. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a thermometer. In this kind of weather, it will only take about a minute.

10. Pour in the lactone liquid and stir it quickly. You must move quickly, about three or four seconds, then immediately cover the pot and start simmering.

11. Cover the soy milk and simmer for about 15 minutes. When you open the lid, you will find that it has solidified. This is the tofu pudding we usually eat.

12. You can take out some to make tofu pudding.

13. Remove the bottom pad from the six-inch heart-shaped mold, place it on the grate with holes, and put a piece of gauze on it. One layer will do.

14. Quickly mash the tofu in the pot and pour it in quickly. Scoop the tofu into the mold. You can use a spoon to slightly stir the tofu in the mold to filter out excess water, otherwise the six-inch mold will not be able to hold it.

15. After everything is put in, cover it with gauze.

16.Replace the removed base pad.

17. Press a basin of water on top. If the bottom of the basin is too big, you can find a medium. I used a bowl with a wide mouth as a medium.

18. Press for 30 minutes and the tofu is ready.

Homemade tofu may be ordinary, but if you make it yourself, the taste will be extraordinary. If you want to experience your own "extraordinariness", you will definitely start doing it right away.
