Home Make Tou Fu take 2

This is my home made Tou Fu Press. Spent 2 hours banging away in the shed to create this rather practical work piece(not too presentable lor). It serve the purpose, and I am happy. As this kind of gaggets it is not possible to obtain from shops. Have to make do with whatever comes handy.

This is the inside of the press. I made two lids; one placed under and one on top of the tou fu fa wrapped in cotton lining. And I stuck heavy (what chu ma call it?!) and a tub of water to weigh it down. After that I went shopping

This is the end result of my press. It is far better texture than my first attempt. But the skin is abit soft and tends to catch the cotton lining. As a result, the surface is kind of uneven. I made Ma Po Tou Fu that night! Yamm.
