Folks all the time ask what tools I take advantage of for making tofu at residence, so I lastly put the checklist collectively! That is all of the tools and components that you simply’ll have to make lovely do-it-yourself tofu.

To make tofu, you want dried soybeans (or if making high-protein soy-free tofu, different beans, peas, seeds or nuts). More often than not, I purchase domestically for the perfect value and in order that test in-person that the components are good high quality (that’s, recent, no disagreeable smells, and no overly dried-out or rotten beans).

Coagulants are one other story. You should purchase acid coagulants like lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and white vinegar on the grocery retailer. You may also discover epsom salts at pharmacies. Nonetheless, conventional coagulants are a bit more durable to seek out. Fortunately, they’re out there on-line. After I have to fill up, I purchase these:

• Gypsum (calcium sulfate) is my favourite for being low cost, reliable and tasteless, and
• Liquid Nigari from Vancouver Island Sea Salt can also be good and reliable. Nonetheless nigari does impart a distinct taste to tofu. I don’t find it irresistible, however then I grew up with tofu made with gypsum. So maybe those that grew up with nigari tofu want that. Please notice that Vancouver Island Nigari appears to be solely out there in Canada right now.
