Tofu/Awara/Soybeans Cheese

Tofu/ Awara as it is locally called is very popular especially in Northern Nigeria. It is usually enjoyed with pepper sauce or yaji (a blend of pepper and spices) as a snack or even a meal. It is not only delicious but highly nutritious. I am made this for my family and it was a delight. Before I forget, this is my recipe number 100 💃 #teamsokoto

Steps

  3. 3

    Dilute the Blended beans with enough water and sieve to extract the milk. Transfer to a big pot and cook on high heat. (Do not fill the pot to the brim, to avoid pouring over).

  4. 4

    As the milk boils and rises, add diluted lemon juice/ fermented millet water/ vinegar gradually as demonstrated in the video. The milk starts to coagulate and separates completely from the water.

  5. 5

    At this stage you either reduce the water drastically and then season the tofu with salt and seasoning cube before transferring to a sieve cloth, or transfer the tofu and season wen you are ready to fry especially when lemon juice as a coagulant.

  6. 6

    Remember to place the sieve cloth in a colander before transferring the tofu. Tie the upper part of the sieve cloth before placing a heavy object on the sieve cloth containing the tofu in order to remove the water completely. After about 3-4 hours remove the tofu and slice nicely. Transfer to a ziplock bag and refrigerate until needed.

    Important Notes
    1. If using lemon water as a coagulant, soak the sliced tofu in salted water for15- 13 minutes to remove the lemon taste and don't salt or season prior to this time.
    2. Sieve the milk with cold water for easy extraction.
    In my next recipe, I will be sharing how to fry awara/soybeans and enjoy it with pepper sauce 😋
