Made this for a dinner party and the result was perfect. I have a few advise to share (@City Life Meal can compliment). 1) Since most of us will be making soy milk from scratch for the first time, its important to strain the milk using a cloth properly. Its an important step to ensure you have a smooth result. Do not use any other than a cloth. 2) You can use a blender. If you are using the same blender to blend other things like onions or chilli, best is to blend a spoonful of soy bean with water just to remove all the taste from previous blends. 3) Once the soy milk starts boiling, it will foam up, lower the heat before it spills over, then its important to keep boiling them. After the first foam up, the milk shouldn't foam anymore even if you put it in medium heat. It will just maintain boiling. 4) The GDL+corn flour mixture to be prepared just before you are ready to pour the boiling soy milk. If the mixture is prepared early, I found that the mixture becomes a paste. It might effect the result. 5) To scoop out taufu fa into a bowl, if you dont have those thin metal scoops as shown in the video, a pizza cutter (those circular blade) will also work fine. Enjoy!
Thanks for recommended by using the pizza cutter, is perfect to scoop it from the pot.
I think this is the authentic way to maka tofu pudding , perfect ❤

感謝你
I love that this is organic

wendyuniverse ❤️❤️❤️
yup..... non gmo soybean is good
I finally can make it, 1st time making, husband talk to me make it..
Dear all, we noticed that many has difficulties in making this Tofufah. The most common issues faced:-
1) What is GDL? GDL stands for Glucono delta lactone, work as the coagulant for the tofufa. It’s a substitution for gypsum powder which was traditionally used to make Tofufa. Get your GDL here -- shp.ee/u8gixrb
2) Can i use Gelatin? Yes you can, but the texture is different. It is wobbly and soft but it won't melt in your mouth like Tofufah. You can check out another video from us: th-cam.com/video/k9vmmTl3nPI/w-d-xo.html ---> Using Gelatin.
3) Can i use store bought packet Soya Bean Milk? No you can't. You have to get fresh soya bean milk. Or either you can find at your local areas, there are trucks selling fresh soya bean milk. You can buy unsweetened SBM and make an instant Tofufah without hassle.
4) Why my tofufah can't set or cuddled?
a)Firstly you need to check whether you have use the correct coagulant. In our local baking stores, we ask for GDL to make tofufah. Normally it can be found easily.
b) Ensure all pots are clean.
c) When you pour the milk, please ensure it's from height of 2feet. So the milk can mix well with the GDL mixture.
d) Allow the tofufa to set for 30 minutes. Usually around 20 min already starts to coagulate. Please do not touch the tofufah during this process. Do not move or stir the milk until it's fully set!
FYI. We have used this recipe for many times and it turns out beautifully. Some of you mentioned it's sourish, you can adjust the milk + water is around - 1.5-1.6litre. GDL and corn flour remain same amount. For the strainer bag, you can refer to this -> shopee.com.my/product/161533674/2487291730?smtt=0.0.9
Don't give up!
If i buy soy bean milk, should i boiled it gain? 🙏
Anita Wijayanti yes u need to. Make sure it’s those fresh soya bean milk! Not store bought packet drink.
One another question please, if i want to make soy milk, should i remove the skin of soy bean? Is there any different if I don't remove the skin?
IS a GDL like jelly flour.......
Hs
I don't have a juicer, can I use blender or vitamix? Thanks.
Can i use tapioka strach or tapioka flour to subtitution cordn flour
possible to just use ready organic soy bean powder and add water instead of juicing ?
I can't seem to find GDL in australian supermarkets, what would be a substitute?
First time using this method work out great for me and it was a success.
I use rice flour instead of corn flour.
For corn flour, do you mean corn starch or actually corn flour?
VS D hi over here corn starch also means corn flour. But I know there are differences in other countries. The one I have is corn starch which is white in Color.
How many cups or ml or grams is the boiled Soymilk at video time before adding the 2.26, before adding the gdl solution? Thank you.
Pls explain about GDL
the first time I tried this recipe, it's a successful. I was so happy. that time I just bought gdl. second time still successful. butt after a few month later, when I tried to make again, it failed. but the gdl that time was not expired yet. I thought oh maybe the water is too much, then I reduced the water, but it's watery. then maybe the beans are not fresh, then I bought new beans, but still not working. I wonder why is this happening. what brand is your gdl? I hope I can succeed to make it again. but thanks anyway for your video
这个比例不会太酸吗
It was a success when I made this recipe for the first time. On my second attempt it didn't set. I soaked the beans for more than 5 hours. Does soaking make a difference? Great recipe. Thanks.
Hi thanks for trying out the recipe. Around 5-6 hours should be ok. Maybe u can check when you pour the boiled soya bean milk into the GDL make sure it pour around 2-3 feet above. This will allowed soya bean milk mix well with the GDL.
Ensure the soya bean milk + water is around 1500-1700ml.
What is GDL?
Thanks for your advice.
@@magiswarry37muniandi95 GDL is Great Day Lol
Where i can buy the GDL ? Any website ? Thank
如果没加玉米粉可以吗？有加玉米粉和没加分别怎样？
thank you for sharing this recipe City Life. May I ask if I can use All.purpose flour as substitute for corn flour? thanks in advance. 🙏
Hi 👋 I’m afraid only can use corn flour 😬
Thank you for the receipe...saya sudah buat.... tapi kenapa tofufa saya itu bergentil bila saya curah ke dalam bekas.
Can we use silken tofu 🙂
So if I use 300g of soya beans.
I can juice 3L of soya milk right?
And as for the **PREPARE COAGULANT**
is as below right?
CORN FLOUR 玉米粉 (1 1/2 TBSP)
x 2 = (3 TBSP)
GDL 果酸 (1/2 TSP)
x 2 = (1 TSP)
ADD WATER & MIX WELL 加入水搅匀 (50ml) x 2 = (100ml)
Hello, is it allright if i subtitute corn flour+gdl with agar powder? Thank you
Yes u can replace with agar powder but it won’t be called tofufa. As the texture won’t be like tofufa that melts in your mouth.
It will taste like jelly. The same look but totally different taste.
If i make 2000 liters of soya milk..how many amount of cornstarch and gypsum i will put..thanks
What is GDL .?where to buy.? Thanks . Looks good I want to try. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Baking supply shop
为何我做的豆花要几个小时才凝固呢？而且下面水水的。我也用GDL
If the soy milk is too thick, does it set mushy?
First time made today... It turns out to be very soft after it sets. How to make it a little bit harder? Thank you for the recipe.
Hi, I think you get it correct... The texture should be soft till it melts in your mouth. It's not suppose to be hard... 😀 If you want it a little harder, you have to try other ways like using agar agar powder or jelly powder.
@@CityLifeMeal
Oooo... I see... Thank you for the answer... I don't want jelly or agar2... ☺️
What is GDL 果酸? Where can I get that? Can I not use the pandan leaves? I don’t know where I can get that leaf 😞
Hi 👋. GDL is Glucono delta lactone as the coagulant for the tofufa. It’s a substitution for gypsum. U can find it at baking supply stores. It’s ok if you couldn’t find the pandan leaves. Just cook the syrup with ginger. And just boil the soy bean milk.
Hi can v use readymade soya bean n bring to boil and add the rest
you mean packet soya bean milk? no you can't make tofufah with store-bought soya bean milk. Unless it's fresh soya bean milk from those food truck. Not sure your area has this type of soya milk truck.
Cocok untuk musim dingin ' terima kasih banyak resipnya' ini yang aku cari🙏❤
Mbk GDL belinya d mana ya klo f indo
how much gdl & corn flour should I use for 1litre of pure soya milk after it’s strained? appreciate for the reply :)
Sorry missed out your question! Originally this recipe was base on 3.2 litre fresh soy milk + corn flour 3 tbsp + GDL 1 tsp and water 100ml to dilute. So my recipe which is tested, are all cut by half, and it works. So if for 1 litre, you can try 1 tbsp corn flour, GDL maybe 1/3 tsp. It's all about testing. Wish you success! Hahaha....
What is gdl?
Can i know what brand that blender for that soyamilk proses..i want to buy it..
Hi I’m actually using Khind slow juicer. There are many brands out there, you can do some research and comparison. 😊
Can u use constarch and gdl on store bought soyabean milk?
Also I tried gelatin powder instead. Thoughts?
And I topped up with honey syrup
Hi Erick, for GDL method have to use fresh soyabean milk. U can get it from those soyabean milk food truck.
For gelatin powder u can use store bought. I have a video using gelatin powder topped with gula melaka.
@@CityLifeMeal ohh I see. Gdl is fresh soya. Thanks for clarifying! I'll check out your other vids too!
How many ml/l of soya milk did you use for the tofu after the juicing process
Amethyst Bee around 1.3litre, but it’s best u add water up to 1.5litre.
Hi! I have gypsum as coagulant. Will I follow the same measurement as GDL? Thanks
Hi dear sorry I have not tried on gypsum powder. Can’t advice u. Tq
City Life Meal Thank you
May I ask GDL is what? Tks
Where can buy the blender?
How long do you boil soymilk before pouring into GDL mixture?
To boil fresh soy milk, easily 20-25minutes over medium/ medium low heat. Use medium heat to bring to a boil, have to keep an eye. Stir occasionally. Then turn to medium low. Once the soy milk start boiling, the bubbles will rise, quickly turn to low heat. Another tips, when cover and boil, pls do not boil under high heat. Also when it starts to boil for first time, doesn’t mean your soy milk is well cooked. Continue to boil over medium low or low heat. Keep stirring occasionally.
i don´t have GDL
What is GDL please? Tq
Already looking another recipe and try to make it but always fail. I think this last recipe I’ll try. i fail again, okkk I give up. 😂😂 #LastRecipe wish me luck 🙏🏻😝
Hi , how long does the tofufah last keep in fridge ?
Hi, usually one day. Cos it’s fresh soy bean milk. Preferably consume within 2 days.
How much should I sell per cup ?
好劲啊。
😬😬😬你也会做！
@@CityLifeMeal 没有豆浆机。哈哈哈😄
FY Kitchen 可以用blender 然后用布过滤
Whatbis gdl?
After done ...we need to keep in warm temperature or cold temperature?
When it finally cool down u can keep in fridge.
So if we want to eat back ...do we need to heat back
?
Ganesh Raj no need. Just eat it like soy milk pudding.
Tq very much
May I know what is gdl
can I use packet soy milk and add coagulant ?
Kalyaperumal Sivaneswary hi.. unfortunately no, can’t use packet soy milk to make this.
Today is my first attempt. I used blender instead of juicer but i used a cloth bag to strain it. Not sure if this affected my tau fu fah too.. but the results was half of it was smooth, the other half was under cooked like that.. 😭 pls help?
Can u send picture to citylifemeal@gmail.com ? Can’t visualise how half smooth half under cooked looks like.😅
你好，我看到有些视频是用石膏粉，您用的是是果酸。想请教一下两者的分别是什么？那个比较好？
豆腐花以前是用石膏粉的。石膏粉的作用是凝固剂。有些人会说豆腐花的石膏有毒, 因为不知石膏来源。其实用于制作豆腐花的份量是很少，是没有问题的。因为健康议论，现在多数烘培材料店都卖葡萄糖酸内脂/果酸 (GDL)，是一种食品添加剂，凝固剂。就比石膏粉健康些。这是我所了解的。如果你有更多的认识，也可以跟我们分享！谢谢！
Hi! What is DGL?
妳好！GDL 果酸 可否用tofu coagulant来代替呢？謝謝
不好意思，没试过，不敢肯定。😊
Chinny Heng 不是一样的东西吗
Coagulant 的GDL(glucono delta lactone)
Can you give me the exact litre of soy bean milk for using the gdl recipe
Soy bean milk + water = 1.5-1.6litre
Hello what GDL
What is GLD.
請問，為什麼我用果酸，會變成酸的豆花水不會凝结。
请问你的果酸是GDL吗？发现一些朋友也是用果酸可是不是GDL果酸。2)煮沸后的豆浆水要从高处倒下(1-2尺) 3)一定要用纯豆浆不可以买包装 4）水和果酸比例对吗？
Hi what is GDL?
when cooking soya milk on medium heat does it need to be stirred or covered until it boils?
It’s better to stir until it boils. if you cover it, u need to keep an eye, when it hit the boiling point it foams too quick and it will over flow.
@@CityLifeMeal so i must stir on medium heat until boils, and the last 15 minutes still stir until done
你好，如果我把豆奶加入些糖再倒入搅拌好的GDL和玉米粉，可以形成豆腐花吗？
jun xian Hum 不好意思，我本身是没试过。
@@CityLifeMeal 谢谢你哦~
见意用无糖的
Why does my cooked soymilk has burnt/funny taste? Is cornflour the secret ingredient to remove the taste?
20分钟凝固期间是已经关火了吗？
I tried this recipe but not turn out the cougulan.
请问老师，为什么我做好一桶的豆腐花会变酸而且出了很多的水，有时会有时不会，是什么问题?糖浆有关系到吗？还是凝固的果酸问题?谢谢。
请问你的豆浆水有煮沸吗？凝固后的豆腐花，待凉后会慢慢出水的。你说的糖浆是椰糖是吗，有试试味道吗？
What GDL?
I followed the steps and my taufafa did coagulate. But the texture is too soft and slightly watery. Do I have to increase the amount of gdl ?
Try to reduce the water instead of increasing the GDL as some mentioned that they feel sourish when adding more GDL. Did you let it coagulate for 20-30 minutes without touching it?
Yes. I did let it sit for 20-30minutes. It taste good, definitely will try again to improve the texture. Thanks.
Hi. I follow exactly your recipe but i wonder why mine does not set. After few hours it is still watery. Is it because i put the taufufa in glass bowl instead of pot to set?
Probably I need to ask further. How u made your soya bean milk, and did you use GDL? Fyi, packet soya bean milk will not able to coagulate. U can email your process to me...my email is citylifemeal@gmail.com
What is GDL?
May i know what is your juicer brand?
Hi I'm using just an ordinary juicer by Khind. There are many brands out there you can do some research on it. Hope you find the best that suits you.
Can I use store bought soya milk for this?
Should be ok, but u have to look for no sugar soy milk.
Hi Lorraine, just double check, your store bought soya milk is it referring to packet drinks? If yes, then it's a NO, you can't use this to make tofufa. Unless you are making soy milk agar agar. Preferably buy from those freshly prepared Soy milk seller. In Malaysia, we have those soy milk food truck seller.
Is GDL natural or chemical?
I don't hv gdl. .do you hv any other solution to replace gdl?
This version of tofufa using GDL is to replace gysum powder. So if no gdl or gypsum, gelatine can achieve this silky result. However the ingredients portions u might need to do a search. Cos I haven’t explored on using gelatine.
@@CityLifeMealtq for the reply..very helpful.
Can i use lemon juice instead of GDL ?
No for tafufah. But for soya is OK
Omg I didnt read the comment above. Im using soy milk 1litre at groceries. It wont set. Is it anything I can do?
yes, it won't set. It has to be fresh soy milk. You can use it for Soy Milk Agar Agar with Longan.😀
Hi greeting from Bali what is GDL? Pardon my ignorance
Hi! GDL stands for Glucono delta lactone, work as the coagulant for the tofufa. It’s a substitution for gypsum powder which was traditionally used to make Tofufa. I'm not too sure whether you can find this in your local baking supply stores, this GDL is pretty common here in M'sia.
我找不到GDL，可以改放吉利丁粉吗？如果放吉利丁粉还要放玉米粉混合吗？
是可以用吉利丁粉代替，就不用放玉米粉。不过你就要找吉利丁豆腐花的食谱。因为分量不同，我还没试过煮。
glucose solid powder跟GDL是一样的吗？
