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)

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

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.
