Steps

1

Pick stones from your soy beans and rinse till water is clear allow to get soft for at least an hour then grind it
2

Sieve the paste in a bowl, add water to the paste to get all the milk out
3

Soak your alum in water and set aside, pour your milk into a pot half way full not full (cause the milk will spill out once it start boiling)
4

When the milk starts boiling and foaming, sprinkle the alum water on it gradually and watch it start coagulating
5

Drop from fire and drain the water with your sieve cloth at this point you can put your salt,Maggi,pepper and onions then squeeze harder
6

Place any heavy thing you can find on it so it will firm up for about an hour KEEP THE TOFU ON A SLOAPY SIDE SO THE WATER CAN DRAIN OUT EASILY
7

Remove the tofu from the cloth and cut into chunks
