Have you ever pondered the art of crafting your very own soybean-based culinary delight from scratch? Well, you’re in luck. TikTok user @sovegan demonstrates the simplicity of crafting a vegan staple from the convenience of one’s own kitchen. This straightforward recipe boasts simplicity, requiring no rare cookware or specialty items, making it accessible to all cooks.

To prepare edamame, begin by soaking 1 cup of dried soybeans in water for at least six hours or allowing them to soak overnight if preferred. After soaking the soybeans, strain and blend them with water to create a uniform texture. Utilizing a nut bag to extract the rich essence of soy milk, pour it into a substantial saucepan, allowing the mixture to gently simmer for approximately fifteen minutes, as the flavors meld together in harmonious union.

Don’t let the leftover soybean pulp in the bag go to waste. This versatile ingredient can be employed in baking a variety of sweet treats, including delectable muffins. As you let your soy milk simmer, don’t forget to carefully skim off any excess skin, commonly referred to as yuba, which can be removed and used in various recipes. Currently, combine a few tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice with water, then gradually pour the mixture into the already hot soy milk.

The acidity in the lemon juice is responsible for curdling the milk, resulting in a thicker and more substantial texture. If you don’t have a tofu press, consider substituting with two square Tupperware containers. Press the mixture firmly into two containers: one for the mixture and another to compress the tofu, resulting in a solid block. Allowing your tofu to sit out for at least an hour will help achieve the desired level of firmness if that’s your preference.

Season your tofu to taste, then prepare it as desired. @sō vegan expertly breaks down the tofu into bite-sized blocks and sears them in a hot skillet with a drizzle of oil and a splash of soy sauce, the savory aroma wafting through the air. The possibilities are endless!
