  • How to make tofu from soy beans with a very common and easy to find ingredient -- rice vinegar or fresh lemon juice. That's the acid solution.
    Correction: recommend simmer the soy milk for 15 minutes if you have considerations for trypsin inhibitor.
    There are several commonly used coagulants in Chinese cuisine. The first group is salt coagulants (盐卤) including gypsum (石膏粉) and Nigari salts (In Sichuan cuisine we call this 胆巴). And the second group is Acid coagulants including GDL (葡萄糖内脂), mainly for super tender tofu and tofu pudding. But regular acid including rice vinegar or even lemon juice can help the soy milk becoming solid too. I demonstrate about how to make tofu with rice vinegar in this video. But other coagulants works too.

    Hey! I just finished making the tofu it took a lot of time and patience. I used synthetic vinegar instead of the rice one bc that's what I had and it didn't give any changes in the results it was perfect. I used 250gms of soya beans and it made approximately 2lt of milk and then 500gms of tofu! It was way cheaper than making cottage cheese or even just buying tofu from the store

    After watching a LOT of videos about how to make tofu, yours was the most helpful because it was extremely clear and the video showed everything that a novice would need to see. I didn't work to end up with 5l of soy milk (which seems like a lot...), but it all worked out great!! Thank you!

    Hi from Ireland. I am in my 50s and this is my very first cooking and eating tofu. I never had it before. While watching this video, I am right now frying tofu. I cannot believe how silky soft the tofu is and how easy it is to cut it into cubes. Before, I thought it would be as hard as cheddar cheese.

    Finally, I made a perfect block of tofu!!! Well, I still have to eat it, but it’s holding together so well following your instructions!! It’s soaking in water atm. I thought I had to order these coagulants that you cannot find in stores to get this process going. It did come in the mail, but after watching your video, I opted for the rice vinegar as I always keep that stocked in my kitchen. It’s better to use ingredients that are at hand and easy to find. I’m so excited to try it with some homemade Kim here. I hope it tastes great without having to cook it. Great video!! Thank you. Can you please post how to make some sauces with that extracted water?

    This is exactly how to make cheese from dairy milk, Great video. This is the first time I tried fresh tofu. Wow, it tastes so much better than store bought. Just had a bowl of fresh tofu seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chilli, sesame seeds, sesame oil and green onion. I finally understand why asians eat so much tofu. I used to buy commercial tofu and often to use it before it expires, what a waste. Making fresh tofu is economical as well. Thank you so much for posting this

Keeping my fingers crossed that mine will come out as good as yours.

    I just want to say for people if u don use all the tofu put it in a container it doesn’t have to be closable pour in water till the tofu is fully covered that is very important. Before you use it rinse it of a little cuz the outer layer might be sour. 👍🏻

    There seems to be lots of different ways to approach tofu, but this one looks legit from a novice perspective, and seems to be very much achievable. Basically it's soak>blend>strain>boil>vinegar>strain, with care. 6 steps. Simple enough.
    This is something I genuinely might try. I like tofu, but my wife has a soy intolerance, so if I could do this with another bean (like fava) we might be able to share more meals.

    Looks yummy and satisfying to watch.🥰🥰 For anyone it may be helpful. My first attempt failed, reasons may be 1. because i over soaked the soybeans, 2. I couldn't continue doing it at once, filtered milk was sitting for more than hour. 3. Added water in the mid of boiling, because milk turned thick and started burning in the bottom. Smells bad too. 4. I added lemon juice while its on low flame, like i saw on some other video. Please don't make such mistakes in order to get perfect tofu like above.😦🙄
