The Easiest Tofu in the world

Sorry I can't be bothered to start at the very begining... with the raw beans I mean.. all that boiling and grinding. Boring! so I start with Organic Soya milk from the shop

To make about 1lb 12 oz of scrummy Tofu
You will need
a large pan
a muslin square
a plastic box with holes punched in it to use as a mould
something heavy to press the tofu once it's in the box (I use an old fashioned cast iron, iron, but anything heavy will do)
 
4 ltrs of organic soya milk
8 tsp. of Epsom salts (available at the chemist)

Method
1. Bring the milk to the boil in a large pan
2. Meanwhile dissolve the Epsom salts in about half a pint of warm water
3. Once the milk has boiled add the Epsom salt solution
4. The milk will separate into curd and whey it takes about 3 or 4 minutes

5. Strain the curd through the muslin and place it muslin and all in the box
 
 

6. Cover the top with muslin and put your weight on top

7. Leave for a couple of hours then store in water in a bigger box in the fridge
