Homemade Brine Tofu Exclusive

Homemade Brine Tofu Exclusive

Soybeans are soaked, ground into fresh soy milk and set with traditional brine, yielding homemade tofu with a clean bean aroma and a noticeably firmer, more elastic curd.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Soak the soybeans in clean water for 8–10 hours, then rinse them with water until clean.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Put the soybeans into the blender, add up to 1600ml, and select the fruit and vegetable juice setting to make soy milk.

  3. 3
    Step image

    Put the prepared soy milk into a straining bag and squeeze out the soy milk by hand.

  4. 4
    Step image

    The soy milk was blended twice, and the soybean pulp is also very fine. It can be kept for cooking or making pancakes.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Heat the soy milk over medium-low heat until it boils, stirring frequently with a spoon during the cooking process to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

  6. 6
    Step image

    To prevent the pot from overflowing, remove the foam from the soy milk in time, and cook for another 5 minutes after it boils to let the soy milk cook through.

  7. 7
    Step image

    Turn off the heat and let it cool to around 80 degrees, then scoop out the congealed tofu skin on the top.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Prepare 5g of brine and dissolve it in 45g of water.

  9. 9
    Step image

    When adding the coagulant, stir in a clockwise direction, and while stirring, slowly add the melted brine.

  10. 10
    Step image

    Stop stirring when the soy milk forms curds.

  11. 11
    Step image

    After standing still for about 10 minutes, it solidified into tofu pudding.

  12. 12
    Step image

    Soak the tofu cloth and lay it in the tofu box, then scoop the tofu pudding into it.

  13. 13
    Step image

    Cover with a tofu cloth.

  14. 14
    Step image

    Place a heavy object on top and press for about 1 hour.

  15. 15
    Step image

    The tofu turned out very fragrant, but this time it was pressed for too long, so it became a bit tough. I'll improve it next time.
