How To Make Tofu #Shorts | SO VEGAN

We always assumed making tofu involved weeks of preparation and lots of fancy ingredients or gadgets. But that couldn’t be further from the truth! With some little ol’ soya beans, lemon juice and a DIY tofu press...you’ll be munching down on your very own homemade tofu in no time at all


We’ve also included the ingredients and steps below:

3 cups dried soya beans (550g / 19.5oz)
4 tbsp lemon juice

Add the soya beans to a large mixing bowl and cover with water almost to the top of the bowl. Leave to soak for 6 hours or overnight.


Transfer the soy milk to a large saucepan over a low-medium heat. Bring the milk to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Use a skimmer or a fine sieve to remove any foam or skin that collects on the surface


Use a skimmer or fine sieve to transfer the curds to your chosen press. Then press for a minimum of 15 mins or longer depending on how firm you like your tofu

You can eat the tofu immediately. Alternatively add the tofu to an airtight container and submerge it in water where it will last for up to 5 days in the fridge

For anyone who doesn’t really have access to soybeans. I make mine from chickpeas at times. It’s very delicious!

So tofu's basically cottage cheese/paneer made out of soya milk! Got it...

MY GOD that's the BEST tofu press I've ever seen. I have the expensive Japanese version (which is good) but this DIY version is better as the tubs fit in each other which means if gets pressed evenly. LEGEND! 😀

(I learned to make fresh tofu from soy beans during lockdown when shelves were empty due to manufacturing / delivery issues)

So tofu is basically plant ☘️ based cheese 🧀

Nice! I just made some tofu today. Your video makes it look really simple and fast! It’s not…hahaha, but, that’s okay. Worth it!

[mercybawa]

This looks nice and your video is easy to follow.. in northern Nigeria we call it Wara and you can even eat it raw...

I love tofu but never made it myself. I’m in the process of adding it to my homemade diy list and your video make it look easy.

My dude taught us how to not buy a tofu molds & for that I thank you!!! Going to make tiny holes in some tupperware & use a Mason jar as a weight. Thanks mate!

I highly recommend Filipino fried tofu aka tokwa, and It's so good with soy sauce (with garlic, onions, and a bit of lime) plus It's vegan :D

I think you get more nutrition in your tofu if you heat the whole thing, pulp and milk, THEN strain. We make a veggie meat from the leftover pulp, called SOYSAGE. It's steamed or pressure cooked in small tins (leftover cans). I got the recipe many years ago from THE FARM, a self-sustaining vegan community that started in Summertown, TN after Woodstock was over. They did some cookbooks. I still make it, bc it's Soo yummy (tho' I've tweaked it to use much less oil). Even meat eaters luv this stuff! The FARM is no longer there. Last I had contact they were only doing book publishing, & that's been a few years. They used to sell soybeans, TVP, tempeh starter, nutritional yeast, & much more.

Thank you for including the recipe in the description plus instructions.

[alfianfahmi]

Y'know, you can make some kind of tempeh using tofu waste. We Indonesians called it "menjes", "oncom", "gembus", etc. Maybe some of you would call it "okara" or something.

[MrAlicewonder]

The store bought tofu was upsetting my tummy badly. Thank you for making!!!! I'm on it today! 😊
