BTW for those of you who can't find niragi, I have seen lemon juice or white vinegar used as well. Basically, like in fresh cheese making you need a food safe acid to make the soy milk "curd" into tofu.

@olgaj4144 2 года назад

Thank you! We have soybeans at the farm and this will be excellent to make our own tofu. Very easy and well explained, non wasted time.

To make it last longer in the fridge, change the water in which it is submerged every couple or few days. That will keep it fresher! Nice video. Thanks!

Hi, i cooked aoy milk for three hours then used some of it to make tofu but the nigari did not do "its job." Please any advice? I dont have a thermometer but i added the nigari when it was almost boiling. And now i am adding the rest and its still not thickening at all well except now almost all the water is evaporated.

Nice presentation. I like Tofu. Cheese is coagulated just like Tofu. Difference being Tofu doesn't have a lot of added salt like cheese. Maybe the reason people dislike tofu bland tasting. Milk is multiple animal DNA mixed together to make dairy products tofu is multiple plant based DNA product mixed together to make tofu. The difference between ground beef and strips of beef is multiple DNA in ground beef and one DNA in strips of beef.

@anambivalentenemy 2 года назад

I want to make the firmiest tofu i can get. SHOULD i use nigari,or can i have the same result using just lemon or vinegar from my pantry? Is the temperature i put my coagulant in critical for my tofu? What oither factors should i weigh in for reaching my goal? Thanks!

I’m really confused by the measurements. You mention soak 2 cups of dried beans overnight… then you said add 4 cups of water to a blender and 2 cups of soaked soy beans…. I have a ton left over, so do you do this repetitively until you go through all the soaked soy beans ??

@ALDRO88 Год назад

Hey! Does somebody know if homemade tofu is higher or lower in protein per gram compared to store bought tofu ?

@justemslife Год назад

It should be the same but depends on firmness per grams so extra firm has more protein because it’s more tightly packed soybeans and less water rather than medium which has more water percentage

@wavelengthoceanproject Год назад

My yield is low, the tofu is not very thick and breaks up too easily. Maybe the powdered nigari wasnt the right thing to use

@foofy14 6 месяцев назад

Tried making my first batch of tofu today and everything went wrong! Firstly, I let the beans soak for 18 hours and they didn't look as big or soft as those but though ahh well so blended. Blended on a high power ninja for minimum 10 times and it still left a LOT of chunks of beans. Thought ok, it'll just squeeze it out in the cloth later. Didn't get much soya milk but still continued. After adding, the soya milk didn't curdle anything like in the video. I still carried. Then poured it into the press and left for about 50 minutes. I was very disappointed to see it was only about 2cm thick and shocker, the 'tofu' completely fell apart and was unuseable! If anybody can help me out, that'd be amazing. I put so much time, money and mess for absolutely nothing :(

@johnadams9314 4 месяца назад

You can tell that soybeans are soaked enough if you squeeze them to split them in half, they should split easily and the interior surface of the split is pale and flat. I don’t know the ninja so don’t know how powerful it is. It should be like a milkshake when you’ve blended it. (Squeezing in the cloth won’t really ring anything more out of chunks, it’s just filtering those out) When you add the coagulant you want the soy milk to still be quite hot (not boiling but still hot), sometimes it doesn’t coagulate well if it’s too cold. If you have brought the soy milk back to a simmer after filtering (I simmer for at least 5 mins). Then take the soy milk off the heat an just let it rest for 2-3 mins to cool a little then add the coagulant. That should be the right temperature. Best of luck with it

@sabinewalter9887 2 года назад

Awesome video! I like you channeling your inner Joshua Weissman! ;) I learned a lot just watching this. So, my question is probably dense, but I'll ask it anyway. Why do I have to strain the soybean smoothie? Could I not make a more "wholegrain" version with the solids included? Or would the solids have a negative effect on the coagulation? I mean, I don't want bean dip :) I'm just curious.

@kathymarson Год назад

It will not coagulate right. But you are right that there is still good flavor there in the pulp. You can use that in entrees or crackers.

@Skyebooo 2 года назад

Could you use chicken stock instead of water to give it more flavor?
