Tofu at home

Category: Culinary recipes

Ingredients
soya beans	300 grams
water	2 liters
lemon acid	1 tsp
citric acid water	100 milliliters

Cooking method

• Soak soybeans in cold water for 12-24 hours. Change the water periodically. The beans will grow strongly and look like beans. Drain and rinse.

• Scroll the beans twice through a meat grinder. You can spin the beans in a blender by adding a liter of water.

• Pour over twisted soybeans with water and leave for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally. Cover the colander with gauze in two or three layers and strain the liquid. Squeeze the cheesecloth with cake well.
• We get soy milk and okara (soybean cake-mince) from which you can make cutlets.
• Dissolve citric acid in water. We put milk on fire. With periodic stirring, bring to a boil. It is imperative to stir, otherwise it will burn. We don't go far, because it runs away like ordinary milk. Reduce the heat and boil the milk for 5 minutes, the resulting foam can be removed. Pour in lemon water and mix gently.
• This is how the milk "curdled".
• Cover the colander with a towel or gauze. Pour out the contents of the pan. Let the liquid drain. Can be squeezed with your hands without fanaticism.
• Transfer the tofu to a container with holes or a special container. Cover with gauze or a towel. We put a small load and leave it for 30 minutes or more. The longer the tofu is pressed, the denser it will be.
• 
• Cooking is not difficult, the main thing is to do it with love for your loved ones.

Note

The forum has a recipe for tofu from Gabi

Tofu - bean curd (Gabi)

The method of fermentation is slightly different. I think that the recipes will not "beat". I will not enter into controversy about the benefits or harms of tofu. All adult boys and girls, and everyone decides for himself what to eat. I recommend it to all those who love tofu!

[Angela]

Angela, you are like Cinderella: cheese made from beans ... no words!

That, it turns out, what kind of "beast" - tofu!
Actually, I don't like it, or rather, I tried it once - I didn't like it. But I look at your pictures and think - maybe I didn't like the store, but home, and even according to your recipe, it's probably a completely different matter!
Where did you get the soybeans?

[Svetlana]

Where did you get the soybeans?

Svetlana, I also frantically started looking for soybeans. It turns out these soybeans are releasing
Producer: LLC PKF "Mayak", Russia (Rostov region)
Produced according to STO 49786408-004-2011

Cheese made from beans, not milk, is a direct road to the rubber woman.

Well, I don't know, the Japanese somehow cope, they don't complain about the demographic crisis

[Svetik,]

Thank you all for your attention to the recipe. If someone does not understand something, then he is not forced to do it or eat. If I hate celery and something else, then I go to all "fu" to express? Although Konstantin deleted his posts, I will leave mine.

maybe I didn't like the store, but homemade, and even according to your recipe, probably a completely different matter!

Svetik, it's tasteless. Takes the taste of what you put next. Very good for fasting, vegan and lactose intolerant. I love it both fried and in desserts.

Where did you get the soybeans?

I used to be on the market.Now I bought from the Chinese in the market.

And if you wait 4-5 hours in a blender toch or just strain it out right away?

[Ella]

Ella, watched videos different. Strained immediately.

Angela, well done for filming all the stages of making tofu, it's easy to make. I would like to add, to warn that tofu should have a neutral taste and I tried to cook it with real lemon juice and the tofu acquired a lemon flavor. When preparing different dishes with the addition of tofu, the scent of lemon will not always be appropriate. The thing with citric acid is that it is odorless.
I hope you will not be offended for what you fit into the recipe?

Thank you

with juice of real lemon and tofu acquired a lemon flavor. When preparing different dishes with the addition of tofu, the scent of lemon will not always be appropriate.

That's for sure.

I hope you will not be offended for what you fit into the recipe

Tyuyuyuyu.

Angela, I love tofu with the most tender and strong love !!! I didn't know it was so easy to do it, you opened my eyes straight to me, sincerely kiss your golden hands!

and what is it with fillers: seaweed, or pepper and spices - the very thing that I love !!!

Brightwing, it's tasteless. Takes the taste of what you put next.

Ah, here's the thing! It turns out that it is not eaten like our cheese, as an independent dish. Is it like a potato in a salad - a neutral ingredient that enhances or softens other tastes?

[SvetaI]

SvetaI, I really like tofu just to eat with bread, poured with soy sauce, it has protein, like chicken, but vegetable

I feel I'll have to try

[Marinochka,]

I love tofu with the most tender and strong love !!! I didn't know it was so easy to do it, you opened my eyes right

Marinochka, I'll be glad if the recipe comes in handy. The main thing is to buy soybeans. And preparing is simple.

It turns out that it is not eaten like our cheese, as an independent dish.

Fried, pickled. I also made pancakes with him in the post. Added vanilla, raisins, sugar. Once I treated my acquaintances, so they said that if they did not know, they would not understand that it was not cottage cheese.

have to try

Svetik, all this is not for everybody, of course. But it's not as straightforward as some people imagine.

Added links to my tofu recipes.

[Angela]

AngelaIt's not a problem to buy soybeans from us, there is a vegan store, there it is always there, just making it yourself is more interesting and more profitable - okara is also a wonderful thing! it is also added to meat cutlets - it's delicious ...
I once bought Italian soy milk from vegans - inexpensive, but it tastes like real cream, sweet and with vanilla .. I really liked it

I'll lay out the cutlets tomorrow. The recipe is ready.

You need to add something to it. Then everything is fine)

It's not a problem to buy soybeans from us

We are very tight. Previously, it was sold simply in bags by weight and in buckets. Now, no matter how much I ask, no.

I'll lay out the cutlets tomorrow. The recipe is ready.

very interesting, I will wait!
and I myself grew soybeans in the garden in my youth - it grows well, we also haven't sold it for decades, there was no cheese anywhere .. the plant was nearby, it was closed back in the late 90s - and that's all .. and now they carry it from the Krasnodar Territory everything is vegan to us ... I accidentally found their website and store, they accepted orders by mail, but this can be seen only in Russia ..

[Angela]

Angela, I'm not a Russian at all, I start reading the recipes with the last one ... I opened your lean pie with tofu and garlic arrows and immediately the thought came: "Well, why hasn't she already made and posted the tofu recipe at home?" It's good that the rest of the recipes climbed to look!

Actually, we are all very lucky that your family is fasting! There are still not so many interesting lean recipes, you have to look for them, and you spoil us, bring your best practices

I put it in mental bookmarks, there will be a time or I will grab soybeans with an opportunity, I will definitely try.Doesn't look difficult to execute ...

Thank you!

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, Angela! If I understand correctly, then Tofu is obtained from curdled soy milk, and okara has nothing to do with cooking Tofu directly?
And how else to use okaru, besides adding to cutlets? And how many cutlets?

"Well, why hasn't she made and posted the tofu recipe at home yet?" It's good that the rest of the recipes climbed to look!

And it turns out I posted

that your family is fasting

Fasting now is really not very difficult. So many different information and products. There would be a desire.

Thank you!

And you)

Tofu is made from curdled soy milk, but okara has nothing to do with cooking Tofu itself?

Everything is correct.

And how else to use okaru, besides adding to cutlets?

You can make dumplings with it, add to sauces. You can even put it in meat patties.

And how many cutlets?

You can make it out of one or mix it with something else. Now I'll go lay out the recipe.

Just last night I watched the "Tofu Legends" movie. There, the cheese is precipitated with lime (maybe a funny translation, maybe it's soda), or salt water. The salt solution, as I understand it, is concentrated. I wonder if there is acid, salt or alkali. Can soy protein react to any "irritant"? This cycle of films is shown, it seems, on UT1

My husband also watched recently. Says tofu cult in Asia. I've watched their videos. The translation of the ingredients is clear. There, in one of them, it seemed to me that fish sauce was used in general. Maybe, again, Google gives such a translation.

Soy and oatmeal cutlets (ang-kay)

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, Angela! I got answers to all my questions. Thank you very much for the recipe you need! I went to read about cutlets.

Angela, what is your tofu outlet from 300g. soybeans? I did it like that according to a similar recipe, but it came out with a gulkin's nose.
And about buying soybeans - it is sold on the Internet, like mud, and we always have it on the bird, on a jar from a bag.

Tip for non-tofu lovers: cut into 1cm slices. thick, roll in corn flour and fry in a pan. Best served with chili sauce. Don't even pull tofu lovers by the ears!

and what is your output of tofu from 300g. soybeans?

175 grams came out. I will write now.

Thank you, you will have to repeat the recipe, otherwise there are soy stocks! And we love tofochka!

[filirina]

cut into 1cm plates. thick, roll in corn flour and fry in a pan.

filirina, Irina, and fry like deep fat? how much oil should there be?

Thanks for the idea! I'll ripen for tofu right now

Sveta can be deep-fried, of course, but I usually just fry in a pan with a minimum amount of oil!

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, Angelahow does it taste? I did. The herbal taste was strong. So she threw it away. I ate cheese with biscuit biscuits and halva with tea.

how does it taste?

it's tasteless. Takes the taste of what you put next.

The herbal taste was strong.

then you need to boil soy milk longer. In any case, I read it somewhere.

Okaru threw it away.

In vain. The cutlets are very good.

[ang-kay]

In vain. The cutlets are very good

ang-kay, Angela, strong herbal taste was. And for a long time the soybeans stood in the water, and I cleaned it of the lozenges. Did not help.
And now I don't know where to get soybeans. No on the market

Probably soybeans. I didn't smell of grass at all.

[ang-kay]

Probably soy

ang-kay, Angela, probably

I made it. It turned out very tasty - only I cleverly decided to warm up the cartoon on milk porridge in a cartoon, well, I washed the cartoon for an hour, and then I spent a long time figuring out why there was no electricity until I discovered that there was a place in the house where there was light (and I understood why). (True, fools do not even learn from mistakes in the middle of the day they broke the beetroot with some water in a blender and put the beetroot in the cartoon - well, it's not like soy milk, though I saw the bulka in time and turned it off - I didn't turn off the light

it seemed to me that they used fish sauce in general. Maybe, again, Google gives such a translation.

Fish sauce can be added for flavor? Yeah, east (Asia) is the case thin confused

[Ella]

I made it

Ella, Congratulations. Well done for making up my mind) I read the report and laughed.

in a cartoon on milk porridge, warm it up, well, in general, I washed the cartoon

It foams great, even more than regular milk, as for me.

did not turn off the light

Be careful with electricity. It's good that everything ended well))))

Fish sauce can be added for flavor

Who knows? I will try to communicate with Vietnamese Koreans on occasion. True, they speak so badly, and will they? Although we, unlike them, do not speak at all))))

For the first time I made myself tofu and I can say one thing: homemade is very different from the purchased one for the better. Here, the girls did not even expect how delicious it is. Purchased delicious if cooked with spices, sauces, and more. And homemade delicious in itself. Something like Adyghe cheese even. I slightly salted it with shrimp soy sauce, kneading it with a fork, so that the sauce spreads evenly and stuffed the pancakes. Even a teenage daughter, who is a terrible conservative and you can feed her with something new, appreciated and asked for more. Now I will think about how to simplify the process. I ground it in a blender in several stages, squeezed it several times, it was confusing. But if the process is improved, adjusted, then, I think, homemade tofu will be registered on my menu.
PS And okara turned out to be very tasty cutlets, made according to the technology of potato pancakes, but adding soy sauce, coriander, zru and dried vegetables from a bag of seasonings. By the way, from 250 g of soybeans I got 400 g of tofu and about 1.5 liters of okara. Cheaper than firewood, which is nice

[Lena]

Lena, glad the recipe came in handy)

Or a stupid question: after all, when curdling tofu, after all, something like whey should remain, is it somehow used?

[Anna]

Anna, I do not know.

Well, at the end of the post I saw. They brought me soybeans, but it is partially with lush rations. What to do with them? Or is it not lush rations? ... Maybe this is a soybean barrel? I'll show you now.

🔗

They brought 10 kg ... I wonder how much it will be stored? And where to store it?

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, is this really soy?

is it really soy?

I was told that soybeans ... This one of our farm grows. They sell these products exactly as soybeans ...
Doesn't it look like it?

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, round? I have never seen a colored one. Just like chickpeas in color.

I'll try to make tofu, if it works, then she! There is no other way out.

[Kestrel]

And I, too, just saw, and so I wanted to cook cookies (I bought them in a store where they themselves make milk, sour cream, tofu.) 200 g of tofu - 80 rubles, cookies too - 200 g. 75 RUR
Okay, now we will do it ourselves with the recipe.
Angela, thanks!




Kestrel, Anna, you can probably make pancakes, add yeast and everything else.
Yesterday I baked pancakes with soy sour cream, delicious ...
