Homemade Tofu Recipe

Few of my readers had doubt in tofu, they keep on sending me questions about tofu. Many of them cannot find it in their place. So i decided to create homemade tofu and it is much more easier and quicker. Many of you think that making tofu is so hard and needs so much effort, but actually speaking it is not a big deal..It is so much simple and easy to make your own.

First thing you have to make is Soy milk. If you can get your hands on store bought soy milk then great, you can use those. But for all those who cannot get soy milk, don’t worry. I have the recipe for you. 

While making this, you will get the water which is left from the curdled milk..That is called as whey water, it is so healthy..you can use it to make all kinds of stuffs..Don’t throw that away..You can make rasam out of it or use that water to knead chapati dough.You can use that in your dishes..So hope this helps out…So try it and let me know what you think.

Ingredients for Homemade Tofu

This Recipe makes 250 grams of Tofu.

  • Unsweetened Soy Milk – 1 liter
  • Lemon Juice – 3 to 4 tblspn
    Water – ¼ cup

    (Instead of lemon juice or vinegar, if using them, you will need only 1 tblspn to 2 tblspn)

How to Make Tofu at Home

  1. Take lemon juice in a bowl, add in ¼ cup of water and mix well. Set aside.
  2. For making tofu, bring milk to a boil, once it reaches boil, add in lemon juice and keep mixing, it will start to curdle, if it didn’t curdle add in more lemon juice.
  3. Now place a sieve over a bowl, line it with clean cheesecloth or white cloth. 
  4. Pour the curdled mix over the sieve and once it is poured in, take the curdled mix carefully and run it under tap water really well.
  5. Now tie it like a bundle, and place a heavy thing over it. Press it often to remove the water as much as possible. I left it for 1 hour and i got a beautiful block of tofu.
  6. Cube it out and tofu is done.
