Soybeans to Tofu, Attempt 1

Tried to make homemade tofu today. Almost did it, but failed at the end. I couldn’t figure out how to press the tofu curdles without having it come out the sides. I ended up trying to strain the tofu, but the execution was much to be desired. :( I tasted a little bit of the tofu on the cheesecloth and it tasted alright. Kinda amazing out something as bitter as nigari can make delicious tofu. Anyway, since the tofu wasn’t salvageable, it all went down the sink or into the trash can.

The okara was saved. My dad said that I can feed that to the rabbits. I wonder if they’ll even like it… >.>;
