Easy Homemade Tofu in a Microwave

I've had many failed trials with the tofu becoming too runny or bursting midway... So, I've finally managed to put this recipe together after many experiments.
Make sure not to cover the container with plastic wrap when microwaving the tofu.
In Step 3: When you are letting the tofu rest for 5 minutes and then for 10 minutes, leave it in the microwave with the door closed, instead of taking it out.
In Step 2: Heating time will vary according to the size of the container you use. In my case, I split up my 500 ml of soy milk in thirds to make this tofu. Recipe by Yukiyuko

Homemade Egg Tofu in a Microwave Homemade Egg Tofu in a Microwave
I always crave for something cold, silky and smooth during the hot summer. I also don't want to stand in front of the stove for an extended length of time. But then I also wanted to eat nutritious food. That's when I decided to try this recipe and make egg tofu in a microwave.Microwave cooking times vary, so please adjust accordingly. The tofu is done if it's jiggly when shaken. Take care not to overcook since it hardens with the residual heat.In Step 2: Discard any thick parts of the egg white that stick to the tea strainer since they will hinder the straining process.

Microwave Homemade Tofu in a Mug! Microwave Homemade Tofu in a Mug!
I developed this recipe in response to the well-loved "Custard Pudding in a Mug". I was originally thinking of making a dessert but decided to create a tofu recipe instead. The way of making it is almost the same but far simpler! Homemade tofu really showcases the delicious flavour of the soy beans, so give it a go!I usually put the mixture in the microwave for about 1 minute 45 seconds before it boils. The boiling time also depends on the temperature of the soy milk, so once you can see it boiling, stop the microwave. It will continue cooking with the residual heat anyway. The tofu will set in residual heat so there's no need to add vinegar to get a smooth and soft tofu. If the tofu turns out too watery and crumbles, add it to a sieve and drain the water away to prepare "zaru" tofu. Recipe by Papanda chef cookpad.japan -
