Make Your Own Tofu

A homemade version of the vegetarian centerpiece.

the dry granular vs. liquid brine question, please respond here.] I’m interested in knowing the answer to this too. Is the liquid form of nigari somehow inferior to the powdered form? Or is it just less bang for the buck?

Hi everyone; I’ve been hoping to find Nigari ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigari ) so that I can make my own tofu with soymilk... does anyone know of a good source?

I’ve been trying desperately to find Nigari so I can make tofu, but I seem to have no luck. I hit all the specialty shops in Park Slope, and biked down to HK Supermarket in Sunset Park to no avail. I’m through taking...

I’m intrigued by the idea of making tofu. I can readily get soybeans from the organic food stores or Asian grocery stores. Struggling with where I might be able to get calcium sulfate or nigari (coagulating agents) to form...

Tofu in Colorado sucks. I’ve tried Denver’s. I’ve tried Boulder’s. The national chain tofu tastes better than either of them – and that ain’t saying much. In the end, I blame it on the nigari...

like what I’ve had, so some friends who go out for it all the time gave us a lesson. We tried 4 types of tuna nigari,squid, clam,, and some “fiery” roll and then had a caterpillar roll, an “Azia”...

't get clogs. I did buy an extra filter cup in case I wanted to make back-to-back batches of soymilk. The same company also makes the SoyaPower. I also purchased a plastic tofu press and some nigari (tofu coagulant) to make tofu.

at Shimo. I usually order the sashimi dinner combo then top it off with individual pieces of nigari sushi (Uni, Toro etc.). While the decor is a little lacking, the warmth of the sushi chef “Shimo” and the staff makes...
