In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Firstly,
Tofu, also known as 'tauhu' in Bahasa Malaysia is one of my long lasting cravings. And tofu is the craves that make me go up to the extend that I need to try to make my own tofu. My journey with tofu had started two to three years back. Before that, my family and I had stop to buy and eat tofu for quite sometimes. When it comes to tofu, less critical on the religious aspect of Halal issue. But more to the hygiene and cleanliness part of the process since tofu are made from plant and minerals. There are a lot of stories which will make us refuse to buy and consume tofu at that time. Due to the whole family cravings, my aunt had proposed at me, why not trying to produce our own tofu and supply to our family members. Lightbulb! Since I like to eat tofu and the whole family also loves tofu, why not trying?
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! GONG XI FA CAI!!! =)
I'm back from taking short break from writing. I was morally down due to my post on tofu had somehow deleted due to unknown reason. But today, tofu had once again burning up my desire to share. Tofu is simply amazing! I was simply motivated by few cubes of fried tofu. While preparing lunch in the kitchen, I realized that there are a bowl of fried tofu. Yummy...I just can't stop my hand from taking some. Eating with anything that I wished to. Eating it plainly. with soy sauce, and I even tried with mayonaise. Hehe. Let's back to business...

Then, I started to search on the process and the materials that I needed to complete the process. I had never imagined myself learning to make tofu, but seriously...it was fun and interesting. The easiest information that I can get is from watching youtube videos on how to make tofu and searching through the internet on articles how to make homemade tofu. I remembered at that time the information was very limited. There's no where and no one that I can ask personally. Then I start to summarize the information and trying to gain my material before I get started.
In tofu making, there are few important aspects that we need to look at:
1. Tofu mold
2. Type of coagulant
3. Temperature control for coagulation
4. Tofu press
5. Tofu shelf-life
Before I share on my personal experience on each of the aspects, let's have an overview of tofu making:

Tofu is a do-able experiment which is worth the sweat and time. Enjoying the final outcome is the best experience. I will be continuing on the important aspects of tofu and the process of tofu making in my future post. Insya-Allah (God's willing)...
One of my earliest successful batch of tofu...(^^,)
This is all for now...
