@@jennychen2636 Yes. I believe it involves cooling the soymilk, adding the coagulant, and then steaming it, undisturbed. The way to get it silken is to keep it from forming curds, and allow it to coagulate in one complete block. You can double check, but I am pretty sure that is how it works.
I always thought it was a mysterious and complicated process. Interesting to know I can do it at home. I might try this one day...when I'm not being so lazy 😄
As a meat eater who saw some of the rude comments- I can appreciate all the hard work you put into this! I love tofu, and making things from scratch is just a better way of knowing what you’re putting into your body. Plus it’s extremely rewarding ^_^ your videos are amazing!
Same. I don't love the stuff in particular, as it's not tasting of much by itself, but it's a great addition to the cooking arsenal. Some things are simply made with it and are really nice to eat. No need to have meat on a daily basis. Asia has so many dishes that don't need meat to be outstanding.
@@bossu4076 I didn't want to say non-vegan as it felt rude when I'm speaking to someone who is a vegan. Carnivore/omnivore sounds... Jurassic. I wouldn't take it so seriously, it's merely just accurate wording lol.
I honestly didn't know people thought tofu was a vegan dish. The comments from meat eaters are so weird?? U can enjoy tofu and meat. I live in South East Asia and fried tofu and tempe (fermented soy beans) + meat with egg and rice is a staple dish. It isn't a vegan thing, it's an Asian thing.
Well, based on how it's made, I feel like it's vegan paneer. You make paneer from milk the same way. The only difference between tofu and paneer is that tofu is made from vegan milk.
Sebagai yang tiap hari makan tahu tempe, saya cukup cegat abang2 tukang tahu yang lewat depan rumah... Lebih praktis lagi beli gorengan tahu petis. Ahahahahaha... Tahunya biar dibikin sama pabrik tahu
I'm learning to like tofu and this is so cool! Definitely a longer process than I expected, when you strained it I figured the ball leftover would be the final product. Thanks for the tutorial!
Ok the way you skimmed the liquid off by putting the seive overtop of the curds until only the liquid came through was genius. So simple, yet something i never thought of before.
I'm not a vegan but this is very interesting and I may try it myself. I don't know why some meat eaters are hesitant to try vegan foods, they can both be tasty.
fr! tofu is so tasty when cooked right. i’m not fully vegetarian (i still eat fish and some bacons and sausages) but i dislike most red meats and chicken because of the texture, so tofu is always my go to!! it’s really delicious. same with beyond patties!
I, an omnivore, eat vegan food nearly everyday and have my entire near 50 yrs of life...vegetables. I don't need to transform my beans into a block of goo. Now if somehow all the animals die off or I'm held captive and tofu is the only option for food that is slightly capable of resembling meat, bring it on!
@@repentandturnfromsin there's all sorts of foods that you don't necessarily have to turn into something else. Doing this makes it able to be a variety of other things. It's like the difference between just eating steak or steak chunks and making meatballs out of ground beef
The thing is, since when has tofu been an item in vegan and vegetarian diets from the perspective of western cultures? It has nothing to do with cheese nor is it a substitute for it and neither is soy milk for regular milk, they just happen to contain a lot of nutrients similar to each other while from different origins. Tofu is just tofu, not really needed to compare it to anything else and no need for debate or hate.
THIS. I’ve been looking for this comment! Like I understand that in western countries a lot of non vegan/vegetarian people don’t eat tofu and think of it as a substitute for meat (I think?), but it still feels weird to me (a Japanese person). Like you said, tofu’s just tofu and I hope more people realize the greatness of it.
I'm going to make this and tell my mom it's Queso Fresco 🤣 just to trick her to try it, I made enchiladas with it and I liked it, but she saw the package and refused to try it, so I'm making it now 😁
Ugh! It drives me crazy when my family (certain members, at least) won’t even try a recipe because they hear the word “vegan” or “tofu”. “I don’t like tofu!” or “Yuck, vegan!” It’s like saying you don’t like chicken, when there are 100s of different ways to cook it, and 100s of different flavour combos involving it. 😡😡😡 Just put it in your mouth!!!!!!
wouldn't that be the same as if she cooked something with meat and told you it was vegan? tricking someone into eating what you like even when they don't isn't really fair... also before anyone freaks out, I don't care what ppl eat, I've eaten vegan foods and some are pretty good but I wouldn't trick someone into eating a non vegan dish if they are vegan. I'd just accommodate them with what they'd like to eat.
I love this. People think Tofu is so processed, but its basically the same process as making cheese. And people rarely think of cheese as being "processed". Tofu is "prepared".
@@ishi8323paneer and cottage cheese are the same? i honestly heard of paneer only today, so i didn't know that. here in russia we call tofu "soy bean tworog" so i guess that makes sense that these product are all similar

I got a very “saturated” funky flavor by the time I made it to the soy milk / after filtration. Mind you, I was just trying to get rid of the 5 some odd pounds beans I had lying around so I think my water to bean ratio was off because I was making so much. But, TO THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS: I reccomend going very low and slow with the boiling part of the recipe. I think my mistake was rushing it and burning the bits on the bottom. Also keep in mind (as she mentions on her site) this shtuff really doesnt come off the bottom of the pot easily 😂 so keep it moving pretty constantly.
I’ve never been a fan of tofu because of the soft texture it has in most restaurants. I wonder if I’d like it if I made it myself and made it really firm. Because I like how it absorbs flavor from the other things in a dish. I just wish it wasn’t so gummy. I’m not vegetarian though. Couldn’t be if I wanted to. Need more red meat and iron than supplements alone can supply. Gotta love being incredibly anemic because of raging endometriosis that doctors don’t take seriously lol. Losing a pint of blood out of my small, 8-9 pint body multiple times a month is greeeeeat. That being said, I’d still like to try some firm tofu.
Have you tried fried tofu before? Tastes great. We like to dip it into fish sauce but that might be a little too foreign to you, so you could try it with smth else. Also you don't have to be vegetarian in order to enjoy tofu - it's consumed all over east asia and you hardly find vegetarians or vegans there

It is cheese.... This process is exactly same with how you make Paneer from dairy milk, which is Indian Cheese. This process just takes Soy Milk instead of dairy milk.
Thank you! Tofu wasn't invented by the vegans, nor is it seen as pure a vegetarian/vegan food source in the places of origin - just look at all the Asian dishes containing both meat and tofu ((like Mapo Tofu etc. etc.)

Very cool! I also like knowing how things are made. Just started eating tofu regularly this past year and have learned so much. I watched a video recently about tofu made from pumpkin seeds and it blew my mind!
i find it sad that most people link tofu to "vegan" cuisine or as a meat alternative, here in south east asia we see tofu as tofu, we have dishes like mabo tofu or tofu red egg (home dish) that features tofu as the main ingredient, not like the western "tofu burger" or tofurkey, and another point, soy products do not lower testosterone, that is a myth and there are numerous studies to counter it, it can however give you hypertension (soy sauce) and it makes you gain weight FAST if not taken in moderation.

This process is exactly same with how you make Paneer from dairy milk, which is Indian Cheese.
This process just takes Soy Milk instead of dairy milk.
@@reeti5958 Well I mean soy milk is more juice than milk tbh
@@sill.yb0nes tell that to people putting it in their coffee 😂😂
@@reeti5958lmaoo😂
I don't think it counts as cheese since it's not from milk
Soy milk is not milk. Its just soy blended with water. Milk is from animals
Ew I'm sorry the wrong people found this.
This is amazing! I've wanted to make my own tofu for so long now.
The wrong people?
@@LB0206 There were a bunch of ignorant/rude comments when I first saw this.

Just going to throw this out there. I eat meat and I also eat tofu. Eating tofu doesn't have to mean you can't have meat a few times a week 🤷♀️
Thank you! Tofu wasn't invented by the vegans, nor is it seen as pure a vegetarian/vegan food source in the places of origin - just look at all the Asian dishes containing both meat and tofu ((like Mapo Tofu etc. etc.)

No one said it was. It's just commonly eaten seeing as it's plant based, doi.
Very cool! I also like knowing how things are made. Just started eating tofu regularly this past year and have learned so much. I watched a video recently about tofu made from pumpkin seeds and it blew my mind!
You should check out Mary's Test Kitchen. She's made a lot of types of tofu recently, and I think it's on a playlist.
i find it sad that most people link tofu to "vegan" cuisine or as a meat alternative, here in south east asia we see tofu as tofu, we have dishes like mabo tofu or tofu red egg (home dish) that features tofu as the main ingredient, not like the western "tofu burger" or tofurkey, and another point, soy products do not lower testosterone, that is a myth and there are numerous studies to counter it, it can however give you hypertension (soy sauce) and it makes you gain weight FAST if not taken in moderation.
