Gypsum powder is an essential thing to make tofu. 10 kg of soybean is enough. Those who make tofu flowers can estimate it by themselves. If you put more, it will be astringent, and if you put less tofu, it will be soft.

Tofu is rich in nutrition, easy to digest and convenient to eat, and it is one of the favorite non-staple foods of our people.

Raw material formula The main raw material for making tofu is soybean, and it is better to use new beans with neat particles, no impurities, no insect eyes and no mildew and deterioration. Secondly, some coagulants and defoamers are needed.

Generally, bittern (magnesium chloride) is used as coagulant for making tofu, accounting for about 3% (solid) of raw materials. When it is used, it is diluted with water1:2, Baume16 ~18, and then used after filtering. Tofu made from bittern is slightly rough and hard. Also known as North Tofu or Big Tofu. Using gypsum (calcium sulfate) as coagulant to make tofu, the finished product has a large fraction, white color and soft texture, also known as water tofu or south tofu. Before using gypsum, add water according to the ratio of 1∶ 1.5 to grind it, then add water to make it into 5 times suspended liquid, and cut the bottom for use.

Defoamer for making tofu can be made by adding calcium hydroxide to oil residue or vegetable oil according to the ratio of10:1,and then fermenting into a thin paste for use, with the dosage of 1%. Emulsion silicone resin and liquid foam can also be used.

Method of making 1. foam. After strict acceptance and inspection, the first working procedure of soybeans is to put them into the material pool and soak them in water.

The soaking time should be treated differently according to the quality, water content, season, room temperature and different grinding mouths of soybeans, and it is not possible to cut everything. In northern China, it can be soaked for12 ~14 hours in spring and autumn, 6 ~ 8 hours in summer and14 ~16 hours in winter.
