【Kyoto /Kyoto】
In this workshop, you make soy milk, okara, yuba, and from “oboro tofu” to “cotton tofu” in the raw squeezing process.
<Making soy milk, okara, and yuba>
– Making soy milk: Put the prepared raw puree in a cotton bag and squeeze it into a pot. Mix well the bottom of the pot so that it does not burn.
– Okara making: “Raw okara” remains in the squeezed cotton bag.
– Yuba-zukuri: Boiled soy milk is cooked and warmed while paying attention to the temperature. There is a film on the surface, and that film is “Yuba ”.
<Making tofu>
Pay attention to the temperature, mix the bittern lightly from the bottom, cover it and leave it for a while to complete the “Oboro Tofu“. Next, spread cotton in a wet wooden box, gently put the “Oboro Tofu” in the pot, place the lid and weight stones, and drain the water.
<Completion>
Put the drained tofu in cold water, remove excess bittern and lye, and complete the “cotton dofu“. Enjoy the freshly made tofu!
