Ever tried making your own tofu?

I just found this recipe in the Winter 2010 Viva magazine. Looks easy enough! A bit of fun for a rainy day

They do say it makes quite soft tofu so I'm thinking desserts...

I've never done it with tofu, but I did make paneer this way when I was veggie. Pretty much the same process only I used cow's milk and lemon juice. Unfortunately it was pretty time consuming more expensive than just buying the stuff. This looks to be the same: you can get 750g of tofu in the Asian shop I go to for the same price as a litre of soya milk... *carries the 1 etc....* so that's twice the tofu for the same price.

Sorry

On the other hand, it was fun making it all the same

:P well, say all the shops that sold tofu were shut and you happened to have unsweetened unfortified soya milk and calcium sulphate in your cupboard... it might come in handy someday

I've made my own tofu before. It wasn't the soft type. It was actually very nice and fresh tasting.

Not sure it's worth the effort though but I only made it as a kitchen experiment anyway. I made it from soya beans*, not from soya milk, so that I would have okara as well.

It'd be interesting to see how the one you linked to turns out. Mmm tofu desserts...
