How to make tofu from soya beans!

[Manzana]

Hi all,

I have started making my own tofu and I wondered if anyone else is?

Here is how I make it:

Does anyone have good tips on this?
:-)

Hi Manzana,
I was planning to try once (and even bought a soy milk maker), but found that since I almost never eat tofu (or use soy milk), it wasn't worth spending time on figuring out how to do it. But you may find some useful info in this thread:

I make my own tofu and my own soya milk but I don't have a soy milk making machine, just a regular blender and sieve work just as well.
A few tips:
I always soak the soya beans over night.
Use a tall saucepan as opposed to a wide one, there's something about the coagulating process that won't work if the pan's too wide. The taller, the better.
I use a tupperware box with holes drilled in as a mold.
The okara (left over pulp) can be used in baking and other recipes.
