Milk tofu and regular white tofu may look similar, but there are significant differences that make milk tofu more special. Milk tofu is known for its softer and creamier texture than white tofu. This is due to the use of milk in the manufacturing process, providing a softness and richness of flavor that regular white tofu, which only uses soybeans and water, does not have.
In addition to its softer texture, tofu milk also has a savory and rich taste. The fermentation process is unique and the addition of milk creates a deeper and more complex flavor, making tofu milk a favorite choice for many people. This savory taste makes tofu milk can be enjoyed without additional spices or sauces, making it more practical and still delicious.
This higher quality of course has an impact on the price. Milk tofu is usually priced higher than regular white tofu because the manufacturing process is more complicated and the additional ingredients used. With better quality ingredients and a taste that tends to be delicious, the price is also higher but is considered worth it by fans of milk tofu.
But did you know, you can actually make your own tofu milk at home. No need for fermentation or special ingredients, the tofu milk that is made tends to be easier and more practical. This process was explained further by Instagram user @dapur.nengolla.
Through one of the uploaded videos, the netizen shared a practical way to make milk tofu from regular white tofu. With a number of additional ingredients, you can enjoy soft tofu like milk tofu. He admitted that there are two kitchen ingredients that are the key to making this milk tofu.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @dapur.nengolla on Thursday (10/10), the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda and baking powder. Well, these two ingredients will make the texture of the tofu softer. Even so, the measurements used must be considered because if they are not right, the tofu can actually be destroyed.
Next, arrange the white tofu in a container. Then pour the seasoned water until all parts of the tofu are completely submerged. If so, wait until it cools and close the container.
