Main ingredients
300 grams of soybeans
Accessories
4 grams of lactone
Condiments
2000 ml of water
Tools: soy milk machine or food processor with cold drink function, mesh sieve, a large piece of cotton cloth, a large piece of gauze, a grate with eyes (as long as it can leak), An eight-inch or six-inch cake mold with a removable bottom (this is very convenient, if you don’t have one, you can use a sink with small holes), a large pot for boiling soy milk, and a basin of water (for pressing tofu)
Step 1
Soak 300 grams of soybeans for about eight or nine hours, until the soybeans are completely soaked (the tofu made from these beans is about 1 kilogram, which is enough for a family of three to eat) p>
Step 2
Add water to the soybeans and grind them into soy milk in a food processor or soymilk machine (cold drink function)
Step 3
Find a clean large Cotton cloth, place it on a larger basin, pour the soy milk into the cotton cloth through a sieve.
Step 4
Strain out the bean dregs and squeeze them as dry as possible
Step 5
Put the soy milk into a pot, heat it over medium-low heat, and use a spoon to skim off the foam on the surface
Step 6
Slowly over low heat Boil, stirring in circles with a large spoon while cooking to avoid sticking the pot
Step 7
Until the soy milk boils, turn off the heat
Step 8
p>At this time, mix 4 grams of lactone with 25 grams of warm water to dissolve it
Step 9
Remove the soy milk from the fire and naturally cool it to 80 or 90 degrees. You can use a thermometer, which is more accurate. It doesn't matter if you don't have a thermometer. In weather like this, it only takes about a minute.
Step 10
Pour in the lactone liquid and quickly Stir, and the action must be rapid. After about three or four seconds, immediately cover the pot and start simmering
Step 11
Simmer the soy milk for about 15 minutes, then open You will find that the lid of the pot has solidified, and now it is the tofu poutine we usually eat. You can take out a little to make tofu poutine
Step 12
Put the tofu in the pot quickly Stir into pieces, the more you stir, the more water will come out
Step 13
Take off the bottom pad of the six-inch heart-shaped mold, place it on the grate with holes, and put a piece of gauze on it. Just one layer
Step 14
Scoop the tofu into the mold. You can use a spoon to stir the tofu in the mold slightly and filter out the excess water. Otherwise, the six-inch mold will be If it cannot fit
Step 15
After everything is put in, cover it with gauze, and then put the removed bottom pad
Step 16
Put a basin of water on it. If the bottom of the basin is too big, you can find an intermediary. I used a low bowl with a large mouth to make an intermediary
Step 17
Press for 30 minutes and the tofu will be ready.
