Preparing My Favorite Food

This time I want to share with you about how to made my favorite food which is soy bean custurd or tau fu fa. These are the ingredients.

300g soy beans, soaked in water for 5 hours

2 litres water

1/2 teaspoon glucono delta-lactone curdling agent

1 tablespoon corn flour

3 tablespoon rock sugar

2 pandan leaves, knotted

1. Blend soy beans in batches with 500ml water each time. You'll need to do about 4 batches.

2. Also in batches, strain the soy bean mixture through a muslin cloth into a large cooking pot. Discard residues

3. Bring soy bean milk to a boil over medium heat

4. Mix curdling agent, cornflour and 1/4 cup water in another bowl. Pour mixture into boiling pot and mix thoroughly

5. Turn the heat off and cover the pot with a lid. Set aside in a heat proof container for approximately 30 minutes to let the mixture set. Do not open the lid until after 30 minutes

6. Meanwhile, prepare syrup by mixing rock sugar, pandan leaves and water in another smaller pot. Boil over low heat until mixture thickens to reflect a syrup

7. Dish out set Tau Fu Fa, layer by layer onto a bowl. Ensure you use a flat ladle or a turner to scoop out the layers. The thinner the better! 

8. Drizzle with sugar syrup.
