Homemade Tofu: Using Lemon Juice [Kua Taum Paaj]

Hello & Nyob Zoo Tofu Lovers!
Yes! Many of you requested me to show you all how to make fresh tofu. So I'll be showing you my mom style by using lemon juice to make the tofu curd. Fresh, natural, and super delicious. Tofu is quite easy to make, it just takes time. There are many ways to coagulate soymilk into tofu curds. You can use vinegar, nigari, salt water, pineapple juice, tamarind juice, lemon juice; pretty much any fruit that contains acid. My grandma uses tamarind juice and it works pretty well too. We will be using lemons today since they are easy to find and also super light and delightful in this recipe. And yes, if you have a tofu press, by all mean use it! I don't make tofu often to fully commit to having a tofu press in my pantry haha. Where do you buy it? Look online. So I hope you all give it a try. Happy Cooking! :)
What do you like to make with tofu?
*Just be mindful that whatever acid you end up using, the ratio will be different since they all have different levels of acidity (sorry I cannot help you with the ratio if you end up using other acids)

to rid the bitterness usually the tofu is placed in cold water after you cut it to block shape for 10 -15 minutes.

The easiest, Western-friendly method for making tofu that I’ve seen, especially for Western kitchens. No stone grinders or tofu forms needed. Please express my gratefulness to your grandma for all the knowledge and graciousness she taught you.

Unlike western foods, Asian foods (barring Japanese cuisine) are very easy to prepare provided you have the right ingredients and getting the right ingredients is not that hard. Just go to an asian food store and get them as per your requirements. Western foods tend to be very fancy and requires not only expensive ingredients but also expensive cooking utensils. Maybe its just too commercialized that shelling out huge amount of money to buy and prepare them is the norm.

A couple of suggestions: Because the acidity of lemons can vary....and, in fact, lemon growers are trying for lower acid varieties...it is better to use something with a known acidity. Cheap citric acid powder works well. Use 1.5 tsp per gallon of "milk". Because the natural starches are not soluble, they tend to help clog up the filter material, like mesh or cheesecloth. If you convert the starches to soluble sugars (which will drain off with the water) the pressing will be easier. 1/10th of a gram of amylase with do the job for 3 gallons of milk, as it is a powerful enzyme (not to worry...it naturally occurs in saliva). Just add the acid and then allow the boiled milk to cool to body temperature, add the enzyme, and allow to sit for an hour...then press out the tofu. You end up with a product that is easier to press, and will contain lower carbs than if the enzyme is not used. It should be mentioned that plenty of KZfaqrs are suggesting making tofu by simply heating milk. But, what they don't realize is the the curdling is better with acid. Plus, when the milk is acidified, the curds that form are larger and firmer than from heat alone. Both the citric acid and the amylase can be found on E-Bay and are inexpensive over the long run, because so little is necessary. I hope these suggestions are helpful.

Good homemade tofu is so good you can eat it with little added seasoning. And don't throw the dregs out! In Korea we boil it with some pork and kimchi. I'm sure it can be adapted to so many different tastes. Sometimes i even put it in as filler for meatballs and meatloaf, in cookies and other stuff.

Thank you so much! I have been looking everywhere for someone who makes large bulk batches of tofu at home instead of a single block's worth at a time. Now if only I can manage to store it for longer than 3 days...I freeze my store-bought packages of tofu (the kind with the liquid) because I enjoy the texture it creates when thawed, pressed, then processed and cooked. I wonder if this will work given that the liquid is already discarded?

You can freeze the block of tofu and it will actually have a meatier texture if you prefer that.

I like always backe tofu pieces with same pieces of apple in palm oil. like the combination very much. In the video you mention to trow away the foam when cooking the soymilk..actually if you safe that and mix it later with the okera/soypulp and add herbs, sweet, some oil.. and then in furnace 40 min, you get tasty lovely light ´something´. Gonna try your method for tofu! Aloha, Kind regards from Netherlands.

Thank you! This is really great to learn how easy it is to make. I assumed the fermentation process took a lot longer, so I never tried making it before. I certainly will now! Also, since there are some soy milks that are made of just soy beans and water is it possible to make tofu from that too, since all you’re doing is adding lemon juice? It seems like that would save some time, if possible? I believe Trader Joe’s sells soy milk made from just soy beans and water. Please advise. Thanks again! So inspiring!
