How To Make Tofu

- 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
This is our tried-and-tested recipe for the perfect tofu. Head to the link in our bio to get the full recipe where you’ll find lots of tips and tricks to guide you through the process sovegan.co/tofuu
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.
Drain the soya beans and rinse under water. Next blend the soaked beans in 3 litres / 101 fl.oz of water (we usually do this in 3 batches). Then transfer the milk to a nut bag over a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the bag to extract the milk into the mixing bowl. This can take up to 10 mins or until the pulp inside the bag is mostly dry
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
Meanwhile combine the lemon juice with 200ml / 6.8 fl.oz of water. After the soy milk has finished simmering, remove from the heat and leave for a couple of minutes to settle. Then stir in roughly a third of the diluted lemon juice. Stir in the remaining diluted lemon juice in two more batches and keep stirring until the soy milk curdles. If the milk doesn’t curdle, add it back to a low heat until the curds form
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!
Oh nice. We need a video on this.
@@franzi4913 I don’t create content sadly, but there are many methods people have uploaded on RUclips. All the best 😊
Chickpeas can be made tofu too?! I never knew this thanks so much!!!
@@johndreigrandheart7485 I was pretty shocked by this too. But the more you know! You're most welcome , take care
Thank you for the heads up, friend 😊
So tofu's basically cottage cheese/paneer made out of soya milk! Got it...
It's like paneer?
@@user-zx2et9lf8y yeah
@@SUPRIYA.7 ohh
@@user-zx2et9lf8y yeah, just the taste isn't as good as paneer.
@@kimyn8408 daman, i expected it to be sweet at first lol
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 🧀
Plant based paneer to be exact
Because both paneer and tofu have a difference of being animal and plant based respectively
He’s a soy boy
@@wishshrek3721 cry harder cave man
More like “chicken-meat” if you freeze the tofu and thaw it, it will have a meat like consistensy
IT is one of the plants that has the highest level of fighto estrogens or in short term "estrogen" eat this plant almost everyday if you really want to castrate your self. Soy other plants have estrogen almost every plat has estrogen but some have way too much like soy beans and flaxseeds specially. guess what is the plant that has the highest level of estrogen in the whole world you guess it right is FLAX SEEDS. I now discover the mystery why all this dudes in the internet posting videos about soy foods what all of them have in coment you guess it right they all look WEAK BIG WEAK people. now i do not wonder why is rear to see a Chinese or Japanese person with mustaches or a lot hairy features beard in there body you guess it right they use soy or soy beans to be specific in there food culture they used so much soy beans for everything , soy sause, soy tofu, etz. they are basically castrating or basically not castraing them self's because if they were castrated we will not see Japanese and Chinese or Asians in general right now but my whole point is that they are not that MASCULINE or masculine at all.
Clean and fresh tofu... I am a tofu lover
Couldn't resist to watch this again...
Very nice presentation and explanation.
I’m not vegan but I love tofu.. didn’t realize how easy it is to make it at home. Definitely gonna try this
This is great. Can you show, what you do with the rest of the beans?
We dry the pulp in the oven then use it as a flour ✌️
You can make tempeh.
OMG this is so easy !! I've never ate tofu, I'm a vegetarian trying to go vegan but no vegan products in my town, I'll definitely try this recipe ! THANK YOU 💙
Why? Are you lactose intolerant? Why are you trying to give up on milk products and honey?
@@rashmimondol246because they’re vegan! its their choice
You can try the thi soups or spring rolls. No need to go vegan. If it's protein u need organic thinni from trader Joe's. Its hard for me to find protein and I'm vegetarian. If u have any good ideas could u share them with me? Thanks!
@@rashmimondol246becuse dairy is unethical, unsustainable, and unhealthy?
Milk belongs to cows, honey belongs to bees, not slefish humans.
Also, its not lactose intolerance, it's called getting weaned like an adult. You're not a baby cow.
@@MrAlicewonderplemty of reason to go vegan. Vegetarianism is animal abuse. Egg and dairy farming are crueler than meat farming, all egg laying hens amd dairy cows/calves sre hrutally slaughtered when considered unprofitable.
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!
Hahaha, isn't that true?!!!!
Food shortage gone, killed
I have been trying to make it since morning (it's night now). I tried using lemon, but that damn soy milk just dint curdle. Any tips please?
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.
This looks nice and your video is easy to follow.. in northern Nigeria we call it Wara and you can even eat it raw...
Does it taste good?
Really? Wara is made from soyabean milk? Woowww
This isn't wara. Wara is made from cow milk
It's called gbeske in Yoruba land ,wara is made from cow milk
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!
It’s amazing ! Never founded before a recipe as simple! Thank you!
May be simple, but it's not easy, unless you love standing on your feet for hours
Thank you for including the recipe in the description plus instructions.
Definitely need to try this!
That homemade tofu press, did not come up with that idea myself! Good one!
Thank you for sharing. have a blessed day.
"Making your own tofu is actually really easy" Your definition of easy is vastly different than mine😂
Thanks for making it so simple 👍
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
Simply super healthy yummy tofu
And here I am spending money on tofu press because I no longer want to use a colander and make circle UFO tofu. It never crossed my mind that I can make my own! Thanks for this!
Thank you 😊
The store bought tofu was upsetting my tummy badly. Thank you for making!!!! I'm on it today! 😊
LOVEDDDDD THE IDEA OF DRAINING! Thanks.
Loved it! It looks amazing!!
Very nice video
Thank you so much for sharing this video. ❤
Thank you so much for this! I love tofu, it's my favorite, and knowing it's so easy is wonderful news!
Brilliant! Subscribed. Definitely going to try this on my channel and give your channel a big 'shout-out'.
Omgosh that actually looks doable!
Thanks. You took what was at the time a very mysterious subject, and made it less so. Thank you.
I want tofu now looks like queso fresco lol
I'm not vegan but I love tofu just a question though can I use something else for the lemons like any citrus?
You could probably use a vinegar, as long as it is acidic
ruclips.net/video/Uu-KNLt0wpw/видео.html you can watch this
this is not my RUclips channel and I'm not click baiting this is the recipe of tofu
you make it look so easy
Thank you so much! ❤
You do make it seem easy. I will try your steps.❤
Can I use citric acid instead of lemon juice
I made some today and I was so impressed at how much better the flavor was compared to store bought
It has flavor?
@@chlorophyllphile fr bro it tasted like a solid air for me
U made it so easy ❤
Awesome! Thank you 🙏🏻💗🌹
I just decided to begin a vegan journey and I’m looking for homemade tofu recipes and yours is very simple. Now, I noticed you don’t use nigari but lemon/water mix instead. Am I correct?
Please share the ratio of beans and water to grind🙏🏼🙏🏼
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 do book publishing, & that's been a few years. They used to sell soybeans, TVP, tempeh starter, nutritional yeast, & much more.
Cool Info
Well if no ones gonna say it, I am...
*Ha Ha, Nut Bag*
I didn’t even notice💀
😂❤! LOL all day long!
I will never hate you, those that hate while, nommyy
Lol, ways to trick yourself 😊

Looks fantastic!
I will try it😊❤
I will be trying to make my homemade Tofu very soon.
Great, thanks 👍
Aw bless he came up off the Molly bump at the end
Helpful video...
Nice Tofu press idea. 🙂👌
Hi , thank you for sharing, it looks pretty easy to make but how long do you keep the tofu ?
Could you make one on shredded sauced tofu from poke?
Thank you
Great short. Quick question, can't i use the Pulp also in the tofu, I.e. why not boil the milk + Pulp and skip the first strain?
Thank u...😍😍
Good continience thanks
thank you
Thank you.
Nice 👍 recipe chef❤ love from Bangladesh 🥰🙏
It's similar to Bangladeshi "Paneer". But we use cow milk to make paneer😊

Amazing
How to remove smell from tofu ?
Did you squeeze out the whole lemon, did you add all to the measured water?
How much soybeans for this batch?
Can I grind the soyabeans to powder, soak and use whenever I need it?
I love how you say BEEaaANz
Ohh... That Container is so nice. What is it called?? Where can I get it??
Can we prepare tofu with white soya beans? Failed thrice in preparing tofu with the Same process in the description 😌...plz reply
Do you repurpose the water that escapes from the tofu press box ?
Is there a recipe for a smaller batch ?
I made tofu.
Now I need an ae86.
Does the lemon make it taste sour?? I will try this tommorow unless it actually tastes sour
❤ thanks
How long can you leave in refrigerator or can you freeze it
We love to freeze our tofu! It creates a really spongy texture. Or you can refrigerate it in water for up to a week but we recommend changing the water daily ✌️
At some stage can you flavor the tofu?
Are the proportions written somewhere?
Thank you.
Great thing I will definitely use it on my Chicken Katsu
🤤 Tofu with beef is also fantastic
Can we use vinegar instead of lemon?
Thats what my cat's litter is made of
No
I'm Asian and i like tofu but never make it and always buy it thanks for the recipe ❤️
You'll probably change your mind. There are a lot of things that can go wrong. This #short is too short for those who want to try it. Search around RUclips & learn more, or you'll be wasting expensive soymilk that could be drank (is drank a word? lol).
Yes @@TheStaffOfLife there is some info missing in this short for tofu making.
Also: yes, "drank" is a word but it isn't correct in this particular sentence. You should say "that could be drunk." Drunk is often used with the word "have" such as: I could have drunk the milk, but I wasn't thirsty.
Here's an example of how to use drank: the soymilk is gone because he drank it all last week.
Drank is past tense. Drunk is the past participle so it will have a helping verb (usually have/has).
Hope that helps.
how many days we can store it ??
Can it be made from soya chunks?
I’m not vegan and I never will be but something about watching this guy idk it’s like asmr to me
Tofu is the best thing ever
Can i use white beans
Can u just start with soy milk from the shops???
Is it sour?? With the lemon juice.
Do creators just take ideas from each other? This is the second how to make homemade tofu video I see in 24 hrs in my feed 😂
Approximately how much tofu did you yield from that 550g of soy beans?
I'm trying to determine whether homemade is worth all the effort as soybean's are pricey where I live.
Cheers from NZ 😊
Nice
Yummy
OK so I look at this and I think oh sweet I'd eat that. Instead of the weird vacuum sealed stuff at stores.
soya gems recipe?
What we do with the first cheese , we throw it ?
Awesome video. Can you add spices to it to give it different flavors?
Definitely! We haven’t tried this but there’s no reason why not
@@SoVegan can I get the full recipe for my niece please and thank you
It is marinated after pressing, usually. **Then can be used in stir-frys, scrambles, casseroles, sandwich spread, etc. Many just use tamari or aminos or soy sauce. But when you pan brown for stir-frys, you can sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Also, when you add the sauce to your stir-fry, it picks up the flavors of fresh ginger, the spices, heat, garlic, etc. It's healthy, but very high calorie, so don't eat too often. You'll prob need to ingest more fluids a few hours after enjoying it. It's a concentrated protein & not for small children to eat A LOT...small servings only (but big servings of veggies!). *Suggestions*
