Smooth and tender bean curd

Overview

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been craving it recently or something, but I saw several places selling bean curd in the past few days, and I happened to have a newly arrived wall-breaking machine, so I simply wrote down the process. The steps are not difficult, and it takes a little time. If you have all the tools, you won’t be in a hurry. The bean curd is smooth and tender, like the texture of pudding. You can choose to add sugar or salt water according to your own taste. It is also very good to add caramel, red beans and mung beans. The portion I make is relatively large. Generally, one-third of my portion is enough for a family of three.

  3. Select the juice function of the wall breaking machine and stir evenly. For ordinary soymilk machines and blenders, just choose the stirring function or the juice function. Do not make soymilk directly.

  4. Strain the whipped raw soy milk through fine gauze to remove the bean dregs, leaving only the bean juice. It is best to filter twice to completely filter out the bean dregs.

  5. Turn on the heat and boil. The soy milk will overflow quickly. Stir it. This is normal. The tofu curd made by overflowing the pot is delicious. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. The soy milk must be fully cooked.
