How Do You Make Tofu?
To make tofu, you need a fresh batch of soymilk from your Soymilk Maker, tofu coagulator, and our easy-to-use tofu press. The coagulator will separate the soymilk into curds and then you pour into the tofu press. The press allows the water to drain off and forms the tofu into a block. One batch of fresh soymilk makes approximately 7 - 14 oz (195-395 grams) of great tasting tofu. However, the size and firmness of your tofu is determined by how much water you press out and how long you leave the tofu "set" in the press. You can even make your own flavored tofu and tofu dessert, or add your favorite herbs to make delicious herb tofu. Simply add the desired ingredient as an extract or powder to the soymilk before adding the coagulant.

Magnesium chloride (nigari) and natural calcium sulfate (gypsum) are the most common tofu coagulants used. They have been used for hundreds years in Japan and China. Nigari is composed mainly of magnesium chloride, but also contains other minerals found in seawater, with the exception of sodium chloride (sea salt). 

For tofu - use ½ to 1 teaspoon per 1000 to 1500 ml of fresh soyamilk (adjust amount for desired firmness). Magnesium chloride is on the National Organic Standards Board's list of accepted ingredients for organic certification.

Our coagulant is the food grade mineral in a powdered form and is manufactured expressly for the purpose of making tofu. It is conveniently pre-packaged in single use packets so that air, moisture, and light are kept out to ensure shelf life.
