Method

• Buy soy milk with 7.2% protein content at the supermarket or health food store.

• Add the salt solution little by little to the soy milk in a bowl.
• Stir gently and let it stand for 1 minute.
• At this point, you can see the mixture starting to separate.
• Microwave at 500 W for 12 minutes.
• After heating, pour the softly-set tofu into a mould.
• Microwave for another 2 minutes.
• I bought a wooden mold for making 2 blocks in Japan.
• If you use a 1 block mold, you need a 1 liter carton of soy milk.
• For a 2 block-mold, use two 1 liter cartons.
• Ladle the softly-set tofu into your mold lined with a cheese cloth or muslin.
• Fold the excess fabric over and put a weight on the tofu to press down.
• After draining, place the tofu wrapped in a cloth into water in a bowl to remove the excess epsom salt.
• You can omit this process if you like because the amount nigari won't make the tofu bitter.
• It is done!
• Buy soy milk with 7.2% protein content.
