EN
Your Nutrex Press
TM
Juicer includes a Tofu Kit so
you can make tofu from your soymilk.
1. Mix the coagulant into 1 cup of water.
2. Add soymilk in the 3 or 4 Litre utensil and heat to between 150 °F and 155 °F
(65 °C - 68 °C); remove the utensil from the heat.
3. Add ½ of the coagulant mixture to the soymilk and stir vigorously 5 or 6 times. Stop
stirring and hold the Spoonula upright in the soymilk until the soymilk stops circulating.
4. Add the remaining ½ of the coagulant mixture and stir gently in a figure 8 pattern until
you see the soymilk start to coagulate. Cover the utensil and let it sit for 15 minutes. The
soymilk will form curds.
5. Place the Tofu Box in the Large Frypan. Line the Tofu Box with the Straining Cloth.
Using your Skimmer/Server, transfer the curds from the utensil to the lined Tofu Box.
6. Fold the Straining Cloth over the soy curds and place the Tofu Press Plate on top. Place a
weight between 1 and 2 pounds (500 grams to 1 kilogram) on top of the Tofu Press Plate.
Canned goods work well for this. Let stand for 15-20 minutes.
7. Place a large bowl in the sink and fill it with cold, filtered water.
8. Remove the Tofu Press Plate, remove the straining cloth, and place the block of tofu in
the bowl of water in the sink. Run cold filtered water gently over the tofu for 15 minutes.
You can serve the tofu immediately, or place it in a sealable container and cover it with
filtered water and store in the refrigerator. It is freshest in the first 2 to 3 days but can be
stored for up to 1 week.
