How to Make Tofu? making it at home is actually easier than you might expect and well worth the effort.
- 1-litre organic unsweetened soy milk (no additives)
- juice of 2 lemons
Bring the soy milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring from time to time and then let it simmer for about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat. Add the lemon juice and stir. When you notice that the soy milk is beginning to coagulate, cover the pot and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the content into the cloth-lined colander or tofu press and let it sit for at least 20- 30 minutes. Your tofu is ready to eat/use. If you are not using it right away, soak it in water and refrigerate. Change the water every day if you don’t use the tofu.
TIPS: You can make your own soy milk
You can find plastic tofu makers and wooden ones as well.
PT: Como fazer tofu só com 2 ingredientes
Fazer tofu em casa é muito mais fácil do que imaginas…
- leite de soja (organico, sem açúcar nem aditivos)
- sumo de 2 limões
Aquecer o leite até que ferva, mexendo ocasionalmente, depois deixar mais 4-5 minutos em lume brando.
Retirar do lume, adicionar o sumo de limão e mexer. Tapar o tacho e deixar repousar 5-10 minutos.
Transferir o liquido para um coador com pano ou para uma prensa de fazer tofu e prensar bem por 20-30 minutos, et voilà está pronto para entrar num belo cozinhado 🙂 Se não for para usar imediatamente, mergulhar o tofu em água e guardar no frigorífico. Mudar a água todos os dias até que seja cozinhado.
DICAS: em vez de comprar leite de soja, pode-se faze-lo demolhando os feijões de soja durante a noite e depois triturar em alta velocidade com água – a receita está aqui
