Homemade tofu

Introduction:

"At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I suddenly feel nostalgic. I miss the tofu made by my mother when I was a child. So, on a whim, I bought 2 jin of old tofu. On the one hand, I wanted to challenge myself. On the other hand, I wanted to PK with my dear mother. It is said that tofu is known as "Oriental cheese" because of its high nutritional value. Bean curd is a kind of soybean food fermented by microorganisms. It is rich in protein, carbohydrate, unsaturated fatty acid, minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron), eight kinds of essential amino acids, carotene and vitamins that can't be synthesized by human body. It has the functions of invigorating the spleen, widening the middle of the body, moistening dryness and dehumidification. Eating it often has certain effect on the prevention and treatment of hypertension, arteriosclerosis and rheumatism. ”

Production steps:

The first step: old tofu, Baijiu, dried chili, salt, sugar, chicken essence, and blending oil.

Step 2: cut the tofu into small pieces and drain it for at least one day and one night. (it took 36 hours this time)

Step 3: take a container that can be sealed, pad with straw (I found straw and used the leftover rice dumpling leaves from the Dragon Boat Festival), cut the dried tofu into small cubes, and stack them evenly on it.

Step 4: seal it with plastic film cover and let it ferment.

Step 5: look at this, tofu fermentation is good, chopsticks can be easily inserted, tofu milk is not delicious this step is the key.

The sixth step: the fermented tofu in the Baijiu down.

Step 7: roll in the salt, sugar and chicken essence.

Step 8: wrap in chili oil and put it in a jar.

Step 9: seal for a week and enjoy.

Step 10: Although the tofu is not as square and beautiful as it is sold, it tastes great and has no additives. It's pure organic food. Please correct me.

Precautions: 1. The method of chili oil: take a small bowl of dried chili powder, heat the blended oil to 80% in a frying pan, and then quickly pour the oil into the chili powder in the bowl while it is hot. 2. Using chili oil to make tofu is much more delicious than using chili powder directly. 3. After listening to my mother said: Tofu fermentation, it's best to use cartons with straw to keep it warm, so the fermentation is fast. No wonder it took me nearly two weeks to ferment this time. 4. A little tofu for breakfast is very appetizing.
