Did a search but nothing came up.
Just posting this in case it could be of help to someone.
I have been making my own tofu and it is so easy to do.
Cheapest soya milk is from Aldi. (around 58p per litre)
I use 2 litres to make about a pound of tofu.
You can use lemon juice or vinegar to curdle the milk but I use gypsum which I purchased off ebay.
Bring milk not to the boil but where you just see it start to move.
Take off heat and add lemon or vinegar bit by bit till you see the mixture coagulate.
Let it cool and then strain through a fine cloth like muslin in a colander.or dish which has holes in. Tie up or fold over the cloth and let it drain by putting something heavy on top to push the liquid out.
15 minutes draining makes silken tofu.
25 minutes more firm tofu.
40 minutes or overnight makes very firm tofu.
It is so much cheaper than buying the ready made.
HTH helps someone as I found the price rising a bit too much for my liking. There is also loads on youtube if you need to watch the process. A lot of people making it from soya beans from scratch (which makes it even cheaper) but it is more of a faff.
