[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

Ok... now that I've seen how that "super easy" production of Tofu at home looks like I'm gonna continue buying that stuff. :D If you need that much raw material (and soy beans are hard to get here), time and effort to make just two blocks of Tofu I'm gonna leave this as an upscaled process to the pros. Thanks for the informative video anyway!

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

@@Duevel it would be possible but the effort of all of this isn't worth it for me personally.

[@metasamsara]

@@dereinzigwahreRichi I'm looking into it because I can't get fresh tofu where I live only the vacuum dried kind which rehydrates poorly and doesn't taste soft. I definitely wouldn't consider it with it available around in shops.

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

@@metasamsara funny thing that there's lots of vids on YT on how to get your fresh tofu more dried and more chewy... Freeze drying is amongst these options. But I understand your problem, some things you have to make yourself as they aren't available readily where you live. I grow Cilantro for that reason, I love the taste but it's not a common ingredient around here and therefore no supermarket has it.

[@peter5.056]

Quick question. Can you recommend any tricks to get super-firm tofu? The firmer the better! Thanks, and I LOVE your channel;) So many great recipes!!!

[@TheKampungVegan]

Thank you for all the love!! ❤️ To make extra firm tofu you just need to press it for a longer time. You can try pressing it overnight, and adding more pressure over time as well. For a firmer, meatier texture you can also freeze the drained tofu until solid then thaw and squeeze the water out before using. Hope this helps! ✨

[@peter5.056]

@@TheKampungVegan thanks! muah😘

[@peter5.056]

@@TheKampungVegan I have a small, screw-type cylinder fruit press and I bet if i leave the tofu in the cloth, I could nearly squeeze it dry! Not sure how it would work leaving it in the muslin, but I'll experiment;) thanks for the recipe! I've actually never made tofu, but because of the recent price increases, it's definitely worth the effort to save the money;)

[@KurtMage]

Is it necessary to cook the blended soy beans? I've seen soy milk recipes that go immediately from blender to nut milk bag. I'm wondering if you could do that and save the 15 minutes of cooking

[@Sentient-potato]

This is not soy milk

[@eugeniazanchet]

I’m wondering the same, and actually cooking all together makes things more complicated (and messy), because one would need a bigger pan + wait to get the blended mix cold enough (plus I also have the impression it’s easier to strain before cooking). So the order will be: blend beans, soy bag, (separate Okara), bring the milk alone to boil, etc… it worked for me :)

[@Ch8t]

I would filter it before boiling it rather than after.

[@TheLuxCrafter]

Just for reference will 100g of soybeans yield 250g of tofu? Also since I do now own a blender can I use my immersion stick to blend? Trying to use what I have on hand. Thanks..

[@TheKampungVegan]

It should make a 250g block of tofu, but this will depend on how well your soy milk coagulates. As for the immersion blender, it should work just make sure to blend it well until very smooth. Hope this helps!

[@TheLuxCrafter]

@@TheKampungVegan thanks for responding... my cooking instinct tells me it will... I'm going to soak my beans now so I can make tofu tomorrow!!

Hi new to the channel. My wife and I are trying to be vegan ish lol! We are literally there but keep having set backs. I have tried this recipe 3 times and only got it right once! I looked up 200 grams and it said it is 1 2/3 cups? I am in the US and the measurements always throe me off. The 1st time I prepared it it would not hold shape at all. So I made tofu scramble with it after freezing it. 2nd time I got it right!!! !😊 So thr 3rd time I double the amounts so it wasn't as bad as the first time but my curds were so small when I pressed it it was all water. It did keep it's shape but more like a soft tofu. Thanks for sharing this. I just wished thr amounts were converted for us here in the US. I think 15 ml was 1 Tbsp correct? Better yet can you please convert for me or let me know if this is correct? 200 grams (1 2/3 cup soybeans) 2 liters (8cups of water) 15 ml nigara (1 tablespoon) 😊

[@carmelking2785]

Buy a kitchen scale... Weight and volume measurements don't convert. 200g = 7.05 ounces.

Nigari flakes are also called magnesium chloride. So food grade magnesium flakes should work
