How to make healthy tofu skin

Nowadays, many people work and live alone outside. They want to learn how to cook, but they just can’t do it well. In order to solve this problem, I will now teach you how to make homemade healthy tofu skin.

1. Soaking beans: Soak the soybeans overnight, with a weight ratio of 1:3 between soybeans and water. The soaked soybeans should be about twice as much as the original ones. Soak for 6-8 hours in summer and about 12 hours in spring and winter. If the soaking time is too long, it will affect the pulping rate.

2. Grinding: I use a Philips food processor. Add 2500 grams of water to the softened soybeans (the ratio of dry beans to water is within 1:10). In order to increase the yield of pulp, I grind it twice.

3. Filter residue: prepare a cloth bag for high-power soy milk, pour the beaten raw soy milk into the cloth bag, squeeze out the soy milk with your hands, and put the filtered soy milk in the pot. It is best to use a dense gauze. If the filter is not good, it will easily stick to the bottom of the pot when cooking. If the gauze is not dense, filter it twice

4. Boil the soy milk: Put the filtered soy milk in a pot and boil it. Remove the foam on the surface. After the soy milk boils, continue to simmer it on low heat for about five minutes to cook the soy milk thoroughly and fragrant. Be careful not to leave and keep an eye on the pot to prevent it from overflowing.

6. Add the sour sauce: add 500g of sour sauce to 500g of water to make the sour brine. Turn off the heat after the cooked soy milk is cooked, cool it down to 80 degrees, add about 450 grams of cold water to the pot. I always measure the temperature after adding it. If it is exactly 80 degrees, slowly pour a spoonful of the soy milk water into the pot. At this time, use a spoon to slowly and lightly stir the pot. Bring dispersed protein particles together. When the soy milk starts to have flocculent sediment and separates from the water, it is done. After making it, keep it warm and let it stand for about 20 minutes. The tofu skin needs to be tender.

8. Mold: Wash the purchased tofu mold with warm water

12. Prepare a long cloth strip for pressing the tofu skin

14. The soy milk has solidified

15. Stirring: Use a hand pump to stir the solidified slurry into small particles

16. Pour the mixture evenly into the mold with a spoon, cover it with the slurry, and scoop the tofu pudding into it. It is best to scoop the same amount each time, so that the tofu skin will be almost the same thickness.

17. Spread a full layer, cover it with a cloth strip, then spread the soy milk on the second layer, cover it with a cloth strip, and so on until all the tofu pudding is used up.

18. Finally wrap it with the outermost cloth.

19. Cover the mold with the lid and press it down by yourself. The heavier the better. After pressing for about 90 minutes, open the lid and you will see the tofu skins. Peel them off slowly, as they are very thin.

Although homemade healthy tofu skin is simple to make, if you have never cooked and don’t understand it, you might as well ask your elders for help. Under the guidance of your elders, you will definitely be able to do better.
