*Servings 2 blocks of tofu
INGREDIENTS
-
500 grams dry organic GMO-free soybeans
-
3.5 litters filtered water (for making the milk) and additional water for soaking the beans
- 1.5 tsp gypsum powder (calcium sulfate) or 1.5 medium-sized lemons (juiced)
TOOLS
- Cheesecloth or Muslin cloth, or alternatively nut milk bag
- A tofu mould or a square bowl/tray to shape the tofu
- Skimmer spoon
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Begin by soaking the soybeans for at least 6 hours, or even overnight. They will expand 2-3 times their size so make sure to use a large enough bowl and plenty of water.
-
Add the soaked beans into the Nutramilk processor for just 10-15 seconds to break down the beans slightly.
-
Add the water and blend again until smooth and creamy.
-
Transfer the mixture into a large pot, though a sieve to collect the pulp. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally and remove the foam 'skin' that forms on the top with a wooden spoon.
Method 1- The Gypsum Method:
-
In the meantime, mix the gypsum powder with a little water and stir well.
- As soon as the soy milk is boiling, switch off the heat and add the diluted gypsum. Stir carefully a few times then set aside. Curdles will start forming.
-
Once the bowl is filled with curdles then put a muslin cloth over a mould and transfer the milk curdles with a skimmer spoon. Wrap the cloth tightly around the milk curdles.
-
Put a heavy object to press down the muslin cloth. This will allow the tofu to form and harden.
-
Within 20 minutes, your firm tofu is ready. Less firm (softer) tofu would be ready faster, so check after 5-10 minutes and continue to press, as needed.
