What is the process of making tofu?

1. The making process of tofu includes:

1, soybean selection → soaking → grinding → filtering → boiling → brine (gypsum suspension) → press molding.

2. In the filtering process, the bean dregs in the soybean milk are filtered and ground with filter cloth to make the tofu taste more delicate;

3. Flocculation and sedimentation are formed after the soybean milk is salted, and the soybean milk gradually thickens to form paste and lump (tofu flower);

4. Squeeze the tofu flower in a certain mold to remove excess water and shape it into a block of tofu. The squeezing process is actually a filtering process. Squeeze more water to get old tofu, and squeeze less water to get tofu.

Second, the specific steps:

1. Pick soybeans and pick some rotten ones that have been bitten by insects. Soak soybeans in a large basin of water for about 5 minutes to make them soft and swell. ...

2. After washing the millstone, pour the soaked soybeans into the millstone. There is a small round hole in the middle of the millstone, along which soybeans can slide into the millstone. ...

3. After the soybean milk is ground, put it in a large iron pot and cook it. The cooking process should be cooked with low fire. A big fire will stick to the bottom of the pot. When the soybean milk is about to boil, it should be. ...

4. Let it dry after boiling, then spread a piece of gauze on the bucket specially bought for tofu, and pour the soybean milk into the bucket one by one. ...

5. Pick up the gauze laid on the barrel, form a bag and seal your mouth. Put it on the handle of the bucket and effortlessly put it on the bar of the bucket for a while to let the soybean milk flow down automatically. Then when it was almost finished, I began to press the bag with a big shovel and press it down hard.

Squeeze out the soybean milk contained in the bean dregs, and press it repeatedly until the bean dregs are pressed dry and there is no water to flow out, until the bag mouth is loosened and the bean dregs are directly poured out.

6. Mix gypsum powder with clear water, put it into a bucket and stir, then put the soybean milk into a spoon and bump it up and down from a height, and repeat it until it is satisfactory.

7. Leave it for about one and a half hours. You can pick up the cover cloth and gently shake the bucket. You can see that soybean milk has turned into tofu.
