You won’t believe how easy it is to take a cup of soybeans and turn it into a block of tofu! And you won’t believe how delicious homemade tofu is, especially when you eat it fresh! All you need is three ingredients….soybeans….lemon juice, either fresh or reconstituted, and water.
I hope you try this! Below are Amazon affiliate links to some of the products mentioned in this video:

For variation, the finished tofu could be soaked (better boiled then leave to cool in the spice water) in turmeric - garlickz ground coriander -salt water to add some natural colour and flavour, then it will become the yellow tofu that we eat daily down here, greetings from Bandung (happend to be raised in a village thats famous for its yellow tofu)

Oh, and tofu is almost tasteless. What matters is what you do with the tofu--seasonsings, preparation. Try a nice tofu scramble with soy sauce, kala namak, and nutritional yeast. Sooooo good.

Great demonstration. I haven't tried using it myself (yet!), but I've read that the leftover whey/water from the pressing stage can be used like aquafaba from canned chickpeas. Oh and it just happens that I made a batch of okara waffles for my children's lunch today. Mix the okara with some flour, eggs, milk, cinnamon and sugar (optional), before cooking in a waffle iron. So tasty!

@TikkiOOO 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Jennifer, great question, I don't have an answer. My observation is that people from Asian countries have been consuming soy for eons, and still do. That doesn't make it good or bad, however its a great source of plant based protein. For myself I believe in moderation, too much of anything is not good. I did a quick review of the literature and I can see there are both benefits and cautions listed, this is definitely above my pay grade. I will stick with my own way, which is moderation on everything except for coffee. If you have serious health issues then I would err on the side of caution. If you are otherwise healthy then I believe moderation is key. Same with Dunkin Donuts, moderation is key! Sorry I couldn't give you a straight answer (I don't think there is one)....

@@TikkiOOO Oh, this is too funny😂 I worked in Dunkin Donuts for 25 yrs. back in the day when we served soup and French bread. People would sit at the counter for hours. They’d buy a cup of ☕️ in a ceramic cup and get endless free refills. So yeah, I’m a total coffee head too! Thanks so much for getting back to me. As far as getting a straight answer about anything....ya gotta use your own instincts and like you said, moderation. I’m on my first batch ever of broccoli sprouts, wish I this earlier😉 Jenny
