HOMEMADE TOFU (step-by-step photorecipe)

TOFU is one of the most famous kinds of cheese in the world.

**There're definite reasons for it: **

• it's a great source of vegetable protein, so vegans and other people with healthy diets respect it very much
• it's easy to find, or easy to make at home, and its price is rather low
• it's a universal addition to any kind of dishes because it has no definite smell or taste, so it has take any taste of other ingridients in a dish.

To tell you the truth, I've never tasted tofu before.
But some days ago I saw it in the shop, it was calling me;))
Oh, at last I'll try it - I thought.

But, as my followers know, I'm a fan of handmade things and homemade food.
So I've decided to make it by myself.

The recipe I found was so easy and fast! Just the same like doing ordinary cheese from cow milk (one of variants).

So WHAT DO WE NEED?

• soy milk (or soybeans to make this milk)
• a lemon

That's it!

1. At first we boil soy milk, just to make it hot to be ready to transform vegetable protein into tofu.

1. Then we add lemon juice into it (for 1 liter of milk - about 2-3 spoons of juice)

2. Lemon acid starts to react with milk at once.
   In some minutes we'll see the result - coagulated protein, that is almost ready tofu!

3. We strain milk through the cheesecloth

1. Then we tie the cheesecloth very tightly and wait for some hours.

2. READY!
   So fast and so easy!

By the way, tofu in the shop costs 5$ for 200g.

We've got the same weight from 1 liter of soy milk, it costs only 1,5$

Pure saving money;)
