Ingredients

  • 7 cups water
  • 3 cups soybeans
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1
    Fill your Vita-mix or other blender 1/3 full of softened Laura Soybeans that have soaked in water overnight.
  2. 2
    Add water to fill blender to within 2 inches of top.
  3. 3
    Puree the soybeans as thoroughly as your blender will grind.
  4. 4
    This is your soy milk.Do not strain this milk, leave the tiny pieces of soybean in the soy milk.
  5. 5
    Pour this unstrained soy milk into a pot and heat up to 180 degrees for 20 minutes.Stir occasionally to prevent scorching --in case you allow heat to get too high.
  6. 6
    Monitor the temp with any common meat thermometer and try not to go over 180 degrees.
  7. 7
    After milk has cooked remove from heat and gently stir your coagulant of choice into the cooked soy milk and allow it to curd.
  8. 8
    Place a piece of cheesecloth over a strainer and pour the curded soy milk into the strainer allowing the whey to drain away.
  9. 9
    Press out excess whey and spoon the tofu into a plastic food storage container and refrigerate.
  10. 10
    I like to lightly sprinkle salt over the top of the tofu and cover with a thin layer of water and store.
