Making soy milk

Solid tofu

Next, add an appropriate amount of gypsum to the soy milk and stir gently evenly. Then pour the soy milk into the tofu box and leave it for a while to allow the tofu to solidify. The setting time is generally 1-2 hours.

Pressed dried tofu

The solidified tofu needs to be cut into small pieces and then put into a dried tofu press for pressing. The purpose of pressing is to squeeze out the water from the tofu and make the tofu firmer. The pressing time is generally 30 minutes.
