- 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 TH-cam. 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?
@@ניין-י9ש yeah
@@SUPRIYA.7 ohh
@@ניין-י9ש yeah, just the taste isn't as good as paneer.
@@kimyn8408 daman, i expected it to be sweet at first lol
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
@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.
Plss study latest research don't be outdated@wishshrek3721
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)
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.
My favorite is fritters. And also stew especially tomato based.
Clean and fresh tofu... I am a tofu lover
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 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
Very nice presentation and explanation.
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?
Tried it. It was difficult and never curdled
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.
Thanks for making it so simple 👍
Absolutely delicious.. your swueezing technique is amazing
Loved it! It looks amazing!!
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 😊
My cats found you! Many thoughts.
Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
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
th-cam.com/video/Uu-KNLt0wpw/w-d-xo.html you can watch this
this is not my TH-cam channel and I'm not click baiting this is the recipe of tofu
The store bought tofu was upsetting my tummy badly. Thank you for making!!!! I'm on it today! 😊
Very nice video
"Making your own tofu is actually really easy" Your definition of easy is vastly different than mine😂
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!
Got mine pressing in the fridge. Can't wait to taste it!
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?
Thanks. You took what was at the time a very mysterious subject, and made it less so. Thank you.
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
you make it look so easy
I want tofu now looks like queso fresco lol
Ah ah so white people know tofu/seats?🙈😍😍😍
Thank you
Please how much lemon juice is to be used?
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*
Omgosh that actually looks doable!
Can I use citric acid instead of lemon juice
Amazing
Thank you.
Couldn't resist to watch this again...
Nice❤... like from Chennai India
How much soybeans for this batch?
Wait .... We DO NOT need nigari to make it curdle? We actually can use just lemon juice? I mean why did I buy nigari when i can use lemon juice 😭😭😭
it's japanese trying to make it look hard to make, and sell you their stuff..
I'm just a farmer growing soybeans ust looking to try tofu
Exclllllllllentt ❤❤❤
Don’t we need to ferment the beans or milk? How to make silken tofu?
You my friend made yourself paneer!!
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 doing book publishing, & that's been a few years. They used to sell soybeans, TVP, tempeh starter, nutritional yeast, & much more.
Cool Info
I remember reading about The Farm and soysage made from okara. I never tried making it, but I made my own tofu. Sad
that The Farm is no longer there.
This didn't work out for me .I ended up with a pancake batter and not soy milk .i think i screwed up when I used a tea strainer and not cloth to get the milk . Kids learn from me .
I can't use the soy bean batter too .It's too liquidy .
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 ✌️
Can I grind the soyabeans to powder, soak and use whenever I need it?
Yummy
Can it be made from soya chunks?
Aw bless he came up off the Molly bump at the end
Mine is not cuddling properly. Not sure what to do.
It's similar to Bangladeshi "Paneer". But we use cow milk to make paneer😊
OK so I look at this and I think oh sweet I'd eat that. Instead of the weird vacuum sealed stuff at stores.
Oh so its like paneer (cottage cheese) made from soy milk, got it
Does the lemon make it taste sour?? I will try this tommorow unless it actually tastes sour
Oooo~ I didn't know lemon can help with curdling.
Please show recipe of Soya chaap.
Thank you British Steve-O
Can I add meat to it?
Add missing plastic that just falls
how many days we can store it ??
Please share the ratio of beans and water to grind🙏🏼🙏🏼
What we do with the first cheese , we throw it ?
Why throw away the skin!!!! It is so yummy!
At some stage can you flavor the tofu?
Can u just start with soy milk from the shops???
This is been sold in India undername of paneer
So tofu actually is “cheese” product of soy milk?😂
Satvic movement copied you
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!
Do you repurpose the water that escapes from the tofu press box ?
Y'know, you can make some kind of tempeh using tofu waste. We Indonesians called it "menjes", "oncom", "gembus", etc. Maybe some of you would call it "okara" or something.
@@alfianfahmi5430 The FARM in TN gave credit to Indonesia as the origin of tempeh. Said y'all put the partially cooked "split soybeans" (rubbed to remove extra moisture that might cause unwanted molds) in large banana leaves to ferment, after having been innoculated with the starter. I used to make tempeh, but it's definitely something that has to grow on ya. It's a bit weird, out of "the norm", whatever that is, lol If you have simply purchased tempeh from the market, it doesn't seem so strange, but fermenting it at home, seeing the process, changed my appetite for it, haha The Farm sold the tempeh starter, which they made themselves. Most of the original folk who lived there would be in the senior citizen range now. Or close to it. We knew one family. I had 2 home births bc of their influence (the book "Spiritual Midwifery" by Ina May Gaskin, then wife of the Farm's spiritual leader, Stephen Gaskin.) And so did my daughters. 🥰
Tell me more ❤
Tofu looks yummy❤❤
Farmers literally do genocide for making those 🫘 😢😢😢
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
I've just found out what tofu is, what the fucking fuck. It looks like diet cottage cheese.
I now question goose dad's credibility in Kungfu Panda🤨
He said he couldn't make it...looks easy😁
So this is tofu? It's exactly as gross as I expected it to be. Square blocks of compressed bean goo. Even the color is off-putting.
SOYYYYYYY BOYYYYYYY
Does soy contain aluminum?
Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods. Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys.
My dad brings it home because it's cheaper and it just sucks🤮🤮 can't even marinate it. It's a poor people food.
Estrogenics is going crazy
Why called Tofu and it Soy Beans.
Have you done. All beans, like this,
Like Pinto Bean, Black Eye Pea.
Will you also, call them : Soy ?
Omg inspired form media I buy soyabeans think that how these people ate quite enjoying.when I bought and make tofu yakhh .how people can eat instead of chicken.this is not able to eat in any type texture.
I'm Japanese, but I think this is a mysterious object separated by lemon instead of tofu...🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Oo wee oo.... killer Tofu.
Is tofu healthy though? Would in not be better to just have a nice vegetable stir-fry?
Paneer>>>Tofu any day
I was right,
Basically panneer made from soyabean milk
Beast boy joined the chat
It comes out crumbly, as I recall, a bit like your own panneer. How do you get it to be smooth?
L search toffu the TH-camr and youtube give me a TOFU?
I thought it is Kalakand (Indian sweet)😊😋
How much soybeans and water do i need for 1kg tofu? Also, how many days can it be stored in a fridge?
I'm vegan
MY ANCESTORS ARE CRYING FROM ALL THESE COMMENTS 😭☠️
Thank you
I’m Japanese. I eat tofu but I have never made them by myself. I heard it’s really hard.
Im not vegan, but tofu is a really good alternative for meat if the money is low😊
