and heres a tofu recipe:

Utensils: 1. A square box (a plastic tofu container

with holes poked : through the bottom will do). Line

the container with a piece : of gauze about four times

the size of the box.

2. Wooden long-handled spoon.

3. Two-foot-square cotton cloth for straining the

“milk” from : the mash.

4. Blender

5. Large strainer

6. Large mixing bowl

7. Large cooking pot



a. Soak the soybeans in three times the amount of

water overnight. The

beans should triple in size. b. When soft, drain off

the water through a strainer, and pulverize in a

blender on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until

beans are completely

pulverized. c. Add 8 ounces of this mixture to 4

quarts boiling water. d. Reduce the heat to medium and

cook for 15 minutes, stirring

constantly. When it starts to boil up again, do not

turn down the

heat but add 2 or 3 drops of vegetable oil - this

will keep it from

boiling over. Continue to cook another 7-10

minutes. e. Place a wire mesh strainer lined with

cotton cloth in another bowl and

pour d. slowly through the lined strainer. f. This

separates the soybean milk from the mash. Pick up the

corners of

the cloth and gather and twist tight. The mixture

is still hot, so

using the long-handled spoon, force the remaining

liquid into the bowl

by pressing repeatedly on the twisted cloth. Be

careful to keep a

tight hold on the ends of the cloth gathered in your

hand as you twist

and push with the spoon. If you drop a corner, very

hot liquid can

spill on you and the okara (soybean mash) will

escape.

(The leftover mash is called “okara”. The soybean

milk is called

“tonyu” and can be refrigerated and drunk for a few

days if you wish). g. Place the tonyu in a large

cooking pot and keep at about 140 F over

low heat. In a separate bowl, mix 5 times the

amount of water as the

tonyu with a two-finger pinch of nigari until

dissolved. Slowly add

1/2 to the tonyu, stirring constantly. h. After 5

minutes, add the other half of the nigari and water

slowly and

stir. Cover and reduce to lowest possible heat and

let simmer for

about 15 minutes as the mixture begins to coagulate.

i. After coagulation, scoop the coagulated tofu out

with your wooden

spoon and evenly fill you lined container. Wrap the

gauze over the

top and let the container sit for 5 minutes to allow

extra liquid to

drain. j. Immerse the container in a large mixing

bowl filled with cold water,

turn it over, gently pull off the container, and

remove the gauze.



Making tofu can be an interesting challange, but be

careful not to burn yourself. The price of soybeans

and nigari is negligible, but making tofu does take

time and is painstaking. This process has been done

by hand for centuries, beginning early each morning.

Only someone who has made their own tofu knows how

delicious the rewards can be.

the moosewood restaurant in ithaca, ny puts out some of the best, most comprehensive vegetarian cookbooks in publication. they were also one of the original veg cookbooks to hit the mainstream. i was raised on them- and we didn't live in a vegetarian household- simply a health-conscious one...my father had a double bypass heart surgery when i was small so our family did what you are trying to do- eat well but in a healthier way.



they have EXCELLENT ethnic recipes. i own 'sundays at moosewood,' which is all ethnic, with good explanations of ingredients, cultural histories of food, etc.



i sincerely recommend the moosewood- either invest in a book or explore their website.



as proof- every time i go to the restaurant, i am blown away by their level of quality- really excellent, upscale health food. even my steak and potatoes grandmother always finds something she raves about.



best of luck in this endeavor.
most of the indian food is vegetarian.so u can try sites with indian cuisine.
