Anyone knows how to make Tofu?

[Guest guest]

Hiya Folks,

 

I am a newbie here (joined recently).

Is everybody happy :-)

 

I have always been intrigue in the process of making fresh Tofu.

I used to buy the do-it-yourselves kit in Supermarkets but have not seen it

for a long time.

The kit comes with what looked like a bag of powder and you just add water

and leave it to set overnight.

It worked! And depending on how much water was added, the consistency can be

varied by putting less or more water.

I know it is very cheap to buy Tofu in Supermarkets but I am curious how it

is made. Does anyone know the ingredients and process ??

 

The good thing about being able to make your own kind of Tofu is that you

can have it when you want it(even when the shops are closed).

And you can make it to your own consistency, colour and texture.

You can also make it as a desert, adding honey or sugar and other type of

flavourings.

 

I am aware there are many diffferent kinds of Tofu and each have their own

unigue texture and consistency. I have seen yellow Tofu, red ones and white

ones in Malaysia. These are sold in tiny hawker stalls as part of a

Malaysian Vegetarian Salad known as " Rojak " . Anyone here been to Malaysia

and tried it?

 

I have also seen the really soft ones that you just scoop up and eat like a

dessert.

Googling does not find any recipes for making Tofu as I came out " empty "

after a few hours :-(

Where have I gone wrong? :-(

 

I hope someone in the group can help me.

 

 

All the best,

Wee

Dear Denise,

 

Thanks for those wonderful links :-)

 

I will need time to read up and get the essentials to experiment.

I don't know when I will be able to perform the experiment yet.

I have a funeral to organize on Wednesday, next week.

Then after that my friend's Washing machine is gagging for a new set of

carbon brushes.

Nonetheless, I will report back at some stage but please don't hold me up if

I don't, hehe, lol :-)))

 

 

Best Wishes,

Wee
