Vegan recipes using the left over bean curd from home made soy milk?
I have started making my own home made soy milk, but what can I do with the left over bean curd? Any tasty vegan recipes to use it up?
Answers:
I love frying it and using it in my rice dishes. It's great with toasted sesame seeds and light soy sauce. I love putting it in my homemade hot and sour soups as well.
Have fun and happy cooking :)
you can easily turn it into tofu, silken or firm. Google for recipes, but the coagulant most frequently used is magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) Put it in something that will compress it to desired firmness-you can purchase tofu presses online very inexpensively. You could also use the pulp as a basis for raw food bars-add chopped nuts, seeds, dates, agave nector or honey, roll up like slice and bake cookies, slice and dehydrate in a food dehydrator (cheap at most thrift stores) I am allergic to soy, but do this with other beans and legumes, and also rice. You can make a great rice and almond milk, adding in some sesame seeds for more richness
I can't think why anyone wants to make their own soy milk these days - I just pick mine up (unsweetended) along with real milk for my son from the supermarket.
I would strain it through some muslin and add some lemon juice - then serve like a creme fraiche on freshly boiled vegetables, or added to soups or pasta sauce.
I love soya milk - but really cannot be bothered to make my own these days. Fresh unsweetened soya milk from the shop is sooooo tasty. Cannot stand the sweetened variety - it tastes like real milk - yuk!
Mix it wilh almonds and/or almond flavour and sweetener and amke a soya/almond pudding for a nice dessert change.
I buy silken tofu, warm some soya milk and add almond flavour and ground almonds, bring it to blood temp, and add agar, the non meat type of gelatin, blend it a blender to make smooth and the dispense in indiviual containers to serve as a simple almond soya dessert pudding, it would be the same with your leftover tofu.
