100g dry soybeans, rinsed & soaked overnight
500ml water
2g gypsum
30ml water, warm
5g potato/corn starch
15ml water, for slurry
1 tsp pandan extract (optional)
Coconut Cream Sauce:
1 can coconut cream
pinch of salt
⅓ cup water
2 ½ tbsp sugar
1 tsp tapioca starch
Ginger Syrup:
1 tbsp chopped ginger
2-3 slices of ginger
½ cup sugar
1 tsp coconut sugar
1 cup water
Soymilk:
Add soaked beans and 500ml water to blender.
Blend for 1-2 min.
Strain out the okara through a fine nut-milk bag or layered cheesecloth
Pour slurry into a large heavy pot and heat while stirring constantly.
Bring to a full boil.
You should end with ~400-500 ml thick soy milk. Make sure to weight it out as it dictates how much coagulant to use.
Tofu Pudding:
Heat soy milk to 185-195°F. Should be steaming, not boiling.
If adding pandan extract/leaves, add now, and remove after 8-10 min.
Dissolve the potato or corn starch in 15ml of water and then add it into the soymilk. Stir and heat for 1-2 min. until slightly thickened.
Measure out the gypsum. It should be 0.4-0.5% of the amount of soymilk.
400ml = 1.6-2g gypsum
450ml = 1.8-2.2g gypsum
500ml = 2-2.5g gypsum
Dissolve the gypsum in the 30ml of warm water. Let it sit 1-2 min.
Remove soy milk from heat; let it cool slightly to 185-195°F.
Pour coagulant solution, evenly divided, into warmed insulated containers first (like a ceramic/ thick glass bowl).
Gently pour hot soy milk from 6–8 inches above.
Do not stir
Cover immediately
Rest 20–30 minutes.
Do not move or tap
Ginger syrup:
In a pot, boil the water.
Add the chopped ginger, ginger slices, and sugar.
Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Coconut cream sauce:
Mix the coconut cream, salt, water, sugar, and tapioca starch
Store for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
I still need to work on the tofu recipe. Haven't gotten it right yet.
Try 1.2-1.4g gypsum and 0.4-0.6g GDL for 450ml soymilk
