how to make tofu

Soak soybeans in water
Grind soybeans
Add to boiling water
Simmer over low flame
Strain through cloth
Squeeze
Separated soybean milk and mash
Add nigori coagulant
Pour into box container
Immerse in cold water and remove from container

Making tofu can be an interesting challenge but be careful not to hurt yourself. Making tofu does take time and is painstaking. This process has been done by hand for centuries, beginning early each morning. Only someone who has made their own tofu knows how delicious the rewards can be.
