Step 1

Soak the soybeans in water in a large bowl overnight . The following day strain them and rinse them off .

Step 2

Place half of the soybeans on a blender and cover with water then blend until smooth and creamy . Repeat the process with the other half of the beans .

Step 3

Strain the soy milk over a cheesecloth then squeeze tightly until all the lights comes out and only the pulp is left in the cheese cloth. This can be discarded .

Step 4

Use a cheese cloth to strain the liquid once more then put in a large pot and add 1500 ml water and bring to the boil. Skim and foam off the top then reduce the heat and simmer for ten minutes .

Step 5

Squeeze the juice of one lemon and add 4 tbsp water mix together then slowly stir into the hot liquid. Don’t mix too much . Let it sit for 20 minutes until the curds separate .

Step 6

If you have a tofu form line it with cheesecloth otherwise you can use a steamer or pot . Put the cheesecloth inside and pour in the curds . Fold the cheesecloth then put something heavy on top to weigh it down and squeeze out the liquid. I use my pestle and mortar . After one hour the tofu should be firm and ready to cut .
