Ingredients

Approximately 2 gallons homemade soy milk

1 teaspoon nigari

1 cup warm water

Directions

Simmer soy milk for about 10 minutes

Let the temperature settle in between 170-180F

Dissolve 1 teaspoon nigari in a cup of warm water

Slowly pour in 3/4 cup of nigari water, stirring gently

Let rest and stir, looking for milky areas

Pour the remaining 1/4 cup in milky areas

When all has become curds and whey, ladle into cloth lined tofu box

Let drain, cover with cloth, put the top on and let rest for 20 minutes with a 3-5lb weight on top

After 20 minutes you should have about a 2lb. block of fresh tofu.

Store covered in water, changing water daily.

Ok... This sounds easier than my other recipe. How do you make your soy milk?

annalou 11 months, 2 weeks ago said:
With a soy milk maker - soak the beans overnight and process in the machine with water and a touch of salt

Saved: I bought the nigari where I bought my soy milk maker - Soya Power, online, out of Tennessee.

Soframiz: I made the soymilk by soaking dried soy beans over night in water, draining then using my soy milk maker. I just put the beans, water and salt in the maker, and in 20 minutes I have fresh soy milk.
