Preparation Method of Physalis Tofu and Physalis Water
1.
Soak the soybeans overnight. The weight ratio of soybeans to water is 1:3, and the soaked soybeans are about twice the original. It is 6-8 hours in summer and 12 hours in spring and winter. If the soaking time is too long, it will affect the pulp yield.
2.
In the Philips cooking machine I use, I add soaked soybeans to 2500 grams of water (the ratio of dried beans to water is less than 1:10). In order to increase the yield, I grind it twice.
3.
Prepare the cloth bag of power soymilk, pour the beaten raw soymilk into the cloth bag, squeeze the soymilk out by hand, put the filtered soymilk in the pot, the gauze should be denser. It is easy to paste the bottom of the pot, if the gauze is not dense, filter twice
4.
The filtered soy milk is boiled in the pot, and the foam on the surface is removed. After the soy milk is boiled, continue to boil on a low heat for about five minutes to cook the milk thoroughly. Be careful not to leave, watch the pot to prevent overflow
5.
For the first time, use 25 grams of white vinegar and 50 grams of water, and mix it with sour bittern. The boiled soy milk is turned off, and the temperature is lowered to 80 degrees. Add about 450 grams of cold water to the pot. After adding it, I always measure the temperature. It is just 80 degrees. Pour the white vinegar mixed with water into the pot three to five times. At this time, stir slowly and gently in the pot with a spoon at this time. Gather the dispersed protein pellets together. When the soy milk starts to appear flocculent sediment and separate from the water, it should be kept warm and stand still for about 20 minutes after ordering.
6.
With physalis, you can use a spoon to scoop the clear broth in the pot to the amount of bittern you need next time. 250 grams of physalis requires about 500 grams of physalis, which is used as physalis for later use and fermented in a bottle with a lid. It will become sour after being stored for about 48 hours. This sour water is the real'physalis water'. When making'physalis tofu' next time, use this'physalis water' to add in a ratio of 1:1 Blending with water, you can make physalis tofu again. If the acid value is too high, it can't be used. If it takes a little longer, it will produce bacteria and peculiar smell. The current temperature is 3 days of fermentation. The temperature in my home is relatively low. I always put it next to the heater. I used chopsticks and dipped a little bit to taste the acidity. It was not very sour. It’s enough to separate from the water and open the fire to heat it for 1 to 2 minutes. After ordering, keep it warm and stand still for about 20 minutes.
7.
Prepare a container that can filter the water. This is the box for the noodle sauce. Holes on the bottom
8.
A container that can filter water, spread clean gauze and cover the gauze,
9.
Tofu: order good tofu,
10.
Scoop the tofu flower into the gauze,
11.
Flatten the tofu flower, wrap it in gauze, and cover it with a lid that is smaller than the mold.
12.
Squeeze: Use a heavy object to squeeze the water out. Press for about 20 minutes. The time and strength of pressing the tofu is determined by personal taste. If you like to eat tender, press for a while.
13.
The prepared tofu has no sour taste. The proportion is very important. Cooking your own food saves money and rest assured. A good physalis is a very sour, slightly yellow, transparent, and fragrant liquid. If it is cloudy, it is broken.
