Ingredients

  • Dried soy beans
  • Water
  • Coagulant
  • Salt
  • Spices (optional)
  • Vegetable oil

Directions

1

Remove any dirt or debris from the beans. Soak for a few hours.

Drain the beans and peel off the skins. Blend them to make a thick paste.

3

Strain all the liquid (milk) from the ground paste.

4

Bring the soy milk to a boil in a large pot, skimming off the froth.

5

Slowly add the coagulant, then turn off the heat. Solid curds should form.

6

Strain out the curds. Knead in any salt and spices, then let the curds drain in cheesecloth and solidify.

7

Cut the solid curds into pieces, and fry until golden brown.
