I have some soy beans how do I turn in into tofu?!


Question: Okay..you really need to find clearer instructions online.. but this is basically how the process works..

1. The beans must be soaked overnight
2. Then they are blended with a littlte water
3. The "pulp" is separated from the "soymilk" and the pulp is discarded (or used for somethinge else).. I''ve seen a cheesecloth used to do the straining
4. The soymilk is brought to a boil, then some lemon juice is added when it's boiling. This causes the milk to "Curdle"
5. Once most of the milk has curdled, the "curds" are pressed in a cheese cloth. This time, you're keeping the curds and discarding the left-over juice/milk/water/whatever you call it

That's the basics.. But like I said.. you should get more precise instructions online.

1. Sell them
2. Go to the supermarket
3. Buy some tofu

Seriously, though, I don't know how you do that on your own. I think you might need some special equipment?

In recipes, tofu acts like a sponge and has the miraculous ability to soak up any flavor that is added to it. Crumble it into a pot of spicy chili sauce and it tastes like chili. Blend it with cocoa and sweetener and it becomes a double for chocolate cream pie filling. Cubes of firm tofu can be added to any casserole or soup.

Tofu is made from soybeans, water, and a coagulant. Different types of coagulant may be used for making tofu. The most popular coagulant is calcium sulfate. Other coagulants are: nigari, a natural sea salt extract in its natural form, magnesium chloride, also an extract of sea salt, calcium chloride, which is derived from a mineral ore. The type of coagulant used has an effect on the texture and taste of the plain tofu. Vinegar, lemon or lime juice are often used in homemade tofu. Tofu made with calcium sulfate, and calcium chloride have more calcium than tofu made with nigari.

Tofu is made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds. Although pre-made soy milk may be used, most tofu producers begin by making their own soy milk, which is produced by soaking, grinding, boiling, and straining dried (or, less commonly, fresh) soybeans.

I hope it helps!

Trust me,you don't want to know.

It looks like Shelly has the recipe but do you really want to do that? You would consuming unfermented soy which has been deemed unhealthy. Here is a health and wellness website with more info.

It also says that 75%-90% of the soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically modified and unhealthy as well.

Throw them out and go to burger king.

mash it and mix it with geliten

Take your soy beans and flush them down the toilet. Now, you got tofu gone.
