This is the journey of my tofu con't



Gypsum Tofu Take Two! And Success!
This is the Second round making gypsum tofu. The result is really remarkable! I am pleased with the outcome of the experiment. To my opinion, I have cracked it! (To my preference lah! Hee) Same ingredient quantity but I used one table spoon of gypsum this time.
Top Secret Experiment. OpsomTofu. Take One!

This is the Opsom method. The tofu has small pockets of holezies in between. Texture wise is much much more firmer/denser than the other two. Press time is somehow the least compared to the other two. Thickness is slightly less than gypsum tofu.



Top Secret Experiment. NigariTofu. Take One!

This is the Nigari method. The tofu is soft and silky but somehow it is much much thinner than the other two. I uses the liquid Nigari which is the only type I came across so far. I started with adding one tbsp of nigari but the milk was still very milky so I added another and then another. 3 tbsp I have used.





Experiments Result
I don’t know if my creations are correct but I will certainly have a go again with all the three coagulants until I came up with the best way I can make with each of the stuff.
When it comes to the taste of the three tofus, they tasted and smelled pretty delicious!

Gypsum tofu: Tasted very silky and soft. Need to toughen up a little bit more.
Opsom tofu: Tough guy, tasting firm and good. Need to soften up much more to perfect it.
Nigari tofu: Tasted soft and silky but don’t know why abit on the skinny side. Maybe I need to make more quantity to yield a decent size?!
