Glucosinolate is used to make tofu. Glucosinolate is a multifunctional food additive. It is made by oxidizing glucose to gluconic acid or its salts, purified, desalted, decolorized, concentrated and crystallized. It is non-toxic, white Crystal or crystalline powder. As a protein coagulant to produce tofu, the tofu has a white and tender texture. my country's "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" (GB 2760-1996) stipulates that the maximum dosage is 3.0g/kg for sausage (meat sausage), surimi products, grape juice, soy products (tofu, bean curd). Dextrose lactone can be purchased on Taobao.
When I was in high school, my morning reading started early, and I would eat after the next morning reading. Classmates who are close to home eat at home, and those who live on campus eat in the school cafeteria. My home is in the north of the city, far from the school in the south of the city. It is relatively tight for breakfast when I go home, and I don't like eating in the cafeteria, so I went to a food street in the north of the school with my classmates. For a year, I drank tofu for breakfast. At that time, the tofu brain was added with soy sauce, vinegar, shrimp skin, garlic, coriander, and a red chili sauce that is not in the tofu brain. It is not too spicy, but it has a delicious flavor. Now it is delicious and deep. It is deeply imprinted in my mind, lingering.
Tofu Nao, as a popular delicacy, has a large number of fans all over the country. Because of the wide audience, it has derived a variety of flavors and has a strong regional character. The north prefers savoury food, while the south prefers sweet taste. Some regions such as Sichuan prefer hot and sour taste. One day I saw a friend in the bean fruit circle saying that tofu noodles were made salty. Is it good to eat? After seeing it, I was amused and thought to myself that salty ones are delicious, how can you eat sweet ones! Today, after making tofu, I had an idea. In addition to eating it in my hometown, I made a small bowl of sweetened tofu. It tasted sweet, smooth and tender, and it was also very delicious.

1. Weigh 120 grams of organic soybeans and wash. My small tank is filled with exactly 120 grams. You can also find a suitable container and use the container to measure it. Next time, use this container to measure it.

2. Soak the washed soybeans in clear water overnight, soak until the hair rises completely.

3. Add the soaked soybeans to the food processor, pour half of the water, and start to grind.

4. Take clean medical gauze, fold it into double layers, and spread it on a clean container.

5. Pour the ground soy milk into a container covered with gauze, lift the gauze around, and squeeze out soy milk with both hands.

6. Pour the remaining small amount of bean dregs back into the cooking machine, add the remaining clean water, and grind again.

7. The ground soybean milk is also filtered into the pot with gauze, and all the soybean milk in the pot is filtered through the filter and poured into the pot.

8. Bring to a boil, boil on medium heat for more than 5 minutes. This process cannot be separated from people, soy milk is very easy to boil out of foam and overflow out of the pot. It is necessary to closely monitor and stir soy milk from time to time.

10. After the soy milk is cooked, turn off the heat and cool for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then pour the soy milk into the container prepared in step 9.

Tips:
The tofu made by filtering the soy milk twice will be smoother and tender. Soy milk made with 1500ml water can be consumed by three people. You can adjust the amount of water and beans according to your family. For the beans, it’s best to use the non-GMO soybeans made in China, which are given by my relatives with a little bean skin.
