Homemade firm Tofu

Finally attempted to make tofu. Was very successful. The only tedious part i would say is extracting the soya milk the traditional way. Quite sometimes ago, i bought a packet of Nigari crystals from the local Bio shop. Up till today only i decided to give a try. For sampling, i only used about 2L of milk with 11/2 tsp of nigari crystals mixed with some water. When the milk is warm i pour in the nigari water and immediately the coagulation took place. Let it stand about 10 minutes while preparing my tofu press with the cheesecloth.

Scoop enough of curbs to the mould and cover with the cloth and put on the press. Press hard to remove as much water as possible. And sit the mould with something heavy. As shown on the picture. Until you see that no more excess water being drained, remove all and invert the mould to get the set tofu out. Complete the procedure till all the curbs are done.

Store in a container with fresh water. Change every alternate days and it can be kept up till a week. Enjoy the homemade tofu. Feeling so great !
