1. Soak soybeans. Beans are grown at home. Remember to pick out impurities and bad beans before soaking, and then wash them. It will take about one night. This time, I soaked about 1.2 Jin of dried soybeans. We can wash it after soaking.
2. Beat soybean milk. Stone mills were used in the countryside before, and later grinders were used. Soymilk machine can only be used instead at home, about one part of beans and five parts of water. The filter screen that comes with the soymilk machine is unnecessary, so take it down. The finer you type, the better. But pay attention to the instructions of the soymilk machine, don't burn the machine for too long, and there are many bubbles when you fight.
Soymilk machine is small and needs to be beaten many times.
3. Filter bean dregs.
At home, you can put soybean milk in a common container or use a pot. Spread two layers of clean gauze on it, pour the beaten pulp into the gauze, and squeeze out the soybean milk by hand. This is a bit laborious. We throw away the leftover bean dregs, which can actually be eaten. We can find our own way, such as frying them into bean cakes and making all kinds of pasta with flour. ..
4. After squeezing, the soybean milk is boiled.
Remember to boil the milk with a small fire, and someone must watch it. Because there is a lot of foam when soybean milk is cooked, it is easy to overflow. At this time, you can simmer on a small fire and skim off the foam.
After the soybean milk is boiled, it should be boiled for more than five minutes, otherwise it will smell like beans.
5. The above is to make soybean milk and drink it while it is hot.
Now it's time to order the brine, which is bought from the tofu merchant. One yuan a bottle, about 400ml.
We didn't order bittern either. The key point is:
1. The temperature must be kept at about 80 degrees.
2. The amount of tofu made at home is too small, so you should slowly order brine, otherwise it will be easy to get old; Add salt water evenly, or the tofu will be tender one by one. Add the brine drop by drop into the soybean milk and gently stir it in one direction with a spoon. The amount of salt water will be judged by vision. It would be nice if the soybean milk began to flocculate. Brine is added to control old and tender tofu. Too much salt water makes tofu old, and too little salt water makes it tender.
3. Keep the temperature for half an hour after ignition, so that the precipitation reaction is sufficient. This time is the tofu flower at home.
