Okara can be made into bean dregs buns, bean dregs pancakes, or flower fertilizer, so don't waste it.
7.
Bring the soy milk to a boil on medium heat, stirring constantly during this time, to prevent it from sticking to the pot and boiling. When cooking until a lot of bubbles appear, skim the bubbles.

13.
Pour the gypsum water into the container of tofu flowers.
14.
Rinse the soy milk from a high place into a container of gypsum water, and quickly skim the foam.
