“I really enjoyed the tofu making class! It covered lots of valuable information to really up your game in tofu making. I have made tofu before and got very small yields and this class helped me figure out what I needed to do differently. I especially appreciated the tips on how to scale up the amount of tofu being made and the shortcuts that can be used. I also really want to try Douhua.”

“I got most of my tofu questions answered. I've made tofu a couple of times before; my husband actually built me a wooden tofu press but I wasn't sure about the amount of water to use to the amount of soybeans. I know now that I used way too much water before. I do everything in grams (ever since getting the sourdough bug) and I used 300g beans & 2323g water--so more than double of what I need. So, thank you for clearing that up for me!!! ”
