How to make tofu – for two people
Prepare plain soybean milk and natural bittern “Nigari.”
1. Mix 2.5cc of “natural” bittern, hopefully from Noto, and 200cc “plain”soybean milk and put it into a ceramic bowl.
2. Put the bowl in a deep pot. In a deep pot, put some water to steam bittern and soybean milk.
3. Then steam it with strong fire for 5 min.
4. After 5 minutes, adjust the fire to medium and steam it for 10 minutes.
Then, you are done! You could make a really good “natural” tofu!
What is natural bittern Nigari?
In the process of making salt from the ocean water, after boiling and evaporating the ocean water for hours, in the final process of distillation, liquid comes out from salt.
Its liquid is the natural bittern Nigari. Nigari’s major proportion is magnesia chloridein.
These 3 photos are taken at the salt farm in Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. They obviously make natural salt by using the ocean water as well as natural bittern Nigari.
