Tofu
- Bring soy milk to a minimum heat, up to a temperature between 70º to 80º C. (It does not have to boil)
- After reaching the temperature, place the juice of a lemon and cover for 1 hour
- After that time, clots will form. You have to remove these clots, preferably with a ladle and place them in a box to make tofu (it must have holes), on top of a porous cloth
- Underneath the tofu box, a container should be placed, since the preparation will begin to release serum, which must be discarded
- Once all the whey has left the tofu, it is necessary to place some weight on the tofu box that makes pressure. Leave it for one night
- The next day, take out of the box. Take it to the refrigerator on a plate with a little water
Enjoy tofu in your meals! To flavor it, it is advisable prior to its consumption, sauté it with rosemary and pepper, or the spices that you like the most.
