Making tofu at home is nothing new but for some reason I was hesitant to try. After turning vegan, I did spend a good amount of money on store bought tofu. I tried various brands and flavors and of course, different firmness too. But I could not find that was as good as what you get in a fine dine restaurant. Also, it is a lot of money as well.
Finally, the day came when I decided to give it a try. I saw various recipes on YouTube, and they are all quite similar and easy to do. Since then, I have done a few trials as below:
• Making soy milk with the skin (of soy bean) on and then another one where I removed the skin.
• Different ratio of soybeans:water while making the soy milk
• Using lemon juice, diluted lemon juice and diluted vinegar as coagulant. Some people use "Nigari Salt" for this purpose but I have not tried it. It may give better results but I do not make tofu that often so did not feel the need to invest in this.
My observations
• It did not make a difference in the quality of the tofu. Then why spend the extra time? Maybe if I made them both together and tried simultaneously, I would notice some difference in taste and color but overall I am quite happy with how they both turn out to be. I do not remove the skin anymore.
• The ideal ratio of dry soybean:water for blending is 1:4
• For best results, I use diluted lemon juice.
• Home-made tofu is not only cheaper and free from preservative but it actually taste much better than a lot of store bought tofu options that I have tried.
