Because every type of bean has a slightly different starch content, I’ve written this recipe to use a flexible amount of cornstarch. You may need to experiment a bit to find your perfect proportions.

Ladle out about a cup of the milk out into a large bowl. Sift the cornstarch over the milk in the bowl and whisk it in until smooth.

Chickpeas, for example, have quite a bit of starch in them, and their milk will turn to a thick custard on its own.

Cannellini tofu is more jelly-like than chickpea tofu, for example, and they’ll all be less firm than traditional soy tofu. If you’d like to cook them, I’d highly recommend using a non-stick skillet and a gentle hand.

Bring the milk to a low simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reduce the heat as low as it will go. Ladle out about a cup of the milk out into a large bowl. Sift the cornstarch over the milk in the bowl and whisk it in until smooth. Pour the cornstarch-milk mixture into the pot with the remaining milk and whisk until smooth. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the bean mixture turns extremely thick and pulls away from the sides of the pot, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If the mixture does not thicken up, sift in additional cornstarch, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it does.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Transfer the tofu mixture to a loaf pan measuring about 9 by 5 inches (smaller loaf pans will work as well; your tofu will be thicker) and smooth the top as best you can.

Increasingly, and perhaps even of more value, respected chefs from singular restaurants are exploring the spectrum of flavors and textures in Hodo’s premium products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117632\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW.jpg\" alt=\"Minh Tsai expresses his appreciation of the varied textures in Stuart Brioza's yuba (tofu skin) with toasted quinoa.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1998\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-160x167.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-800x833.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-768x799.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-1020x1061.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-1180x1228.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-960x999.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-240x250.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-375x390.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-520x541.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/4-Minh-and-Stuart-NEW-32x32.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Minh Tsai expresses his appreciation of the varied textures in Stuart Brioza's yuba (tofu skin) with toasted quinoa. \u003ccite>(Anna Mindess)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With Lee’s prompts, Tsai discussed the unfortunate introduction of tofu in the US. back in the 70’s. The soft, jiggly bean curd was seen purely as a cheap, plant-based protein for vegetarians, and sold in big plastic tubs for $1.99. As a straight-up, meat-substitute, people tried grilling it alongside burgers, but it fell through the grill's gaps. That led to the “American invention of extra firm tofu” whose dense texture, Tsai describes, actually precluded it from absorbing the flavors of whatever sauce it was paired with, “leaving just a weird chalky taste.” In actuality, in most Asian cuisines, classic tofu dishes combine tofu and meat ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tsai is not only a cheerleader for the many potential uses of his organic tofu, but a wise tofu guru, as well. Although he is focused on growing Hodo Soy, he sees value in promoting high quality tofu across America and generously offers to teach people to start their own tofu companies. During the question and answer period, a woman asked about tofu donuts that she had tried in Japan. Tsai encouraged her to start her own pop-up and even offered his help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee likened an appreciation of the many variations in tofu to that of cheese and asked Tsai how to encourage consumers to become equally sophisticated and snobby about soybean curds. \"What words can they use?\" she asked. Tsai responded, “fresh, buttery, creamy, beany.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117633\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/5-all-speakers-Photo-by-Quincy-Stamper-NEW.jpg\" alt=\"Jennifer 8.

But I also recognize that for tofu/yuba to grow, I will need to continue to innovate and collaborate with chefs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Hall of the Asian Art Museum adds, “the goal of our Tasting Menu programs is to find access points for discovery, connections, and links that foster cultural empathy.”\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Freshly made tofu is winning the hearts of local Bay Area Chefs, who helped Minh Tsai, of Hodo Soy, celebrate this rediscovered, ancient ingredient at The Asian Art Museum's Tasting Menu event - Reclaiming Tofu.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1495648253,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":20,"wordCount":1417},"headData":{"title":"Reclaiming Tofu: Asian Art Museum Honors the Traditional & Trendy Curd | KQED","description":"Freshly made tofu is winning the hearts of local Bay Area Chefs, who helped Minh Tsai, of Hodo Soy, celebrate this rediscovered, ancient ingredient at The Asian Art Museum's Tasting Menu event - Reclaiming Tofu.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"Reclaiming Tofu: Asian Art Museum Honors the Traditional & Trendy Curd","datePublished":"2017-05-23T16:35:04.000Z","dateModified":"2017-05-24T17:50:53.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"117580 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=117580","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/05/23/reclaiming-tofu-asian-art-museum-honors-the-traditional-trendy-curd/","disqusTitle":"Reclaiming Tofu: Asian Art Museum Honors the Traditional & Trendy Curd","path":"/bayareabites/117580/reclaiming-tofu-asian-art-museum-honors-the-traditional-trendy-curd","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117629\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW.jpg\" alt=\"The San Francisco Asian Art Museum hosts periodic Tasting Menu programs, inviting patrons to make the connection between food and art.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117629\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/1-welcome-sign-NEW-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The San Francisco Asian Art Museum hosts periodic Tasting Menu programs, inviting patrons to make the connection between food and art. \u003ccite>(Anna Mindess)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Walk into any museum, and one of the first items you are likely to spot is a posted warning, a stern reminder not to consume any foods or beverages within its hallowed halls.

The vicissitudes of running the small business discouraged his cousins who all bailed out. But Tsai persevered. And now he counts 700 stores and restaurants that stock his tofu products, including Chipotle and Sweet Greens, which he supplies from his West Oakland beanery.

The soft, jiggly bean curd was seen purely as a cheap, plant-based protein for vegetarians, and sold in big plastic tubs for $1.99. As a straight-up, meat-substitute, people tried grilling it alongside burgers, but it fell through the grill's gaps. That led to the “American invention of extra firm tofu” whose dense texture, Tsai describes, actually precluded it from absorbing the flavors of whatever sauce it was paired with, “leaving just a weird chalky taste.” In actuality, in most Asian cuisines, classic tofu dishes combine tofu and meat ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tsai is not only a cheerleader for the many potential uses of his organic tofu, but a wise tofu guru, as well.

Although Chester had worked in the shop as a boy, delivering fresh tofu on his trusty red Radio Flyer wagon, as the second son he had no plans to follow in his father’s footsteps. In fact, he was studying industrial engineering. But when his older brother declined to inherit the tofu company, Chester dropped out of college and stepped in to help his father. He met his future wife, Amy when she was a waitress at a Japanese restaurant down the street from the tofu shop. Amy, originally from Taiwan, turned out to have an innate talent making tofu and eventually joined the family team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mild-mannered Chester told me about a turning point in his life, “When I was in my 40s, customers began asking me if I was ever going to take over the business.” Emboldened, Chester informed his father that he didn’t want to wait until he was 64 years old to take the reins. As an oblique answer, his father immediately handed over the ledger book and described how he should make payments to vendors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once he was in charge, Chester’s first thought was to automate the business in order to produce more tofu. His father, in his characteristic soft-spoken manner, made it quite clear that this was not an option. Nowadays, Chester is in charge of PR and the business side, while deferring the cooking duties to his wife’s skill and intuition. Amy, clad in boots and apron, deftly navigated the slippery floor in the open kitchen, a simple set-up that allows the steady stream of customers to view the entire tofu-making process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83531\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Tofu-Collage.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-83531\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Tofu-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Amy Nozaki in a few of the steps involved in making tofu by hand.

Photo: Anna Mindess\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With the vagaries of weather and over 200 possible varieties of non-GMO soybeans, there is no ironclad recipe for length of cooking and pressing. “It all depends,” said Amy explaining that she does everything by feel. After the beans are soaked overnight, ground with the help of the shop’s lone machine (a bean grinder), they are cooked in water, then transferred to a hand-operated bean press which liquifies the ground beans into warm soy milk. A natural coagulant, \u003cem>nigari\u003c/em>, is added to the soy milk. Armed with a large paddle, Amy stirred the curds in a huge pot until just the right consistency was achieved, then scooped them into wide rectangular wooden crates, lined with cheesecloth. These are covered with wooden mats and heavy weights for about a half an hour until they reach the desired density. Amy then turns out the scored tofu blocks to bobble in a cool water bath and hand cuts them into cubes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, the Nozakis added a new product to their line, a softer textured “tofu pudding” which comes with a brown sugar and ginger syrup, a traditional Taiwanese combination. This popular sweet sells out quickly every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the customers are regulars who come into the shop armed with their own plastic tubs to transport their delicacies. The Nozakis sell to a few nearby markets but without any preservatives their tofu is at its best for only a few days. A while back, Iron Chef Morimoto visited the shop while he was setting up his restaurant in Napa. When he tasted the Nozakis’ tofu he was impressed with its sweetness and informed them he would serve it at his restaurant as long as they could deliver to Napa. Chester smiled ruefully and explained that he had to turn down the Chef’s request as his tiny family business didn’t have the resources to make such deliveries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Batches of the Nozakis’ fresh tofu are produced all day long and usually sell out completely. “Quality is more important than quantity,” Chester said modestly. “Back in the store’s heyday we were producing up to 1600 blocks a day (versus the millions made by automated production companies). But the economic downturn had an impact and now we average 400-500 blocks a day. Our customer base is changing too as elderly Japanese customers are thinning out. But we are getting more Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese consumers as well as a few Caucasians and Latinos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I took my precious bundle of tofu home, I decided to let its pure fresh taste shine through and so prepared it in the simplest fashion: topped with grated ginger, chopped scallions and a drizzle of soy sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83533\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/simple-tofu-dinner.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-83533\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/simple-tofu-dinner.jpg\" alt=\"The freshest tofu deserves the simplest preparation.

Although Chester had worked in the shop as a boy, delivering fresh tofu on his trusty red Radio Flyer wagon, as the second son he had no plans to follow in his father’s footsteps. In fact, he was studying industrial engineering. But when his older brother declined to inherit the tofu company, Chester dropped out of college and stepped in to help his father. He met his future wife, Amy when she was a waitress at a Japanese restaurant down the street from the tofu shop. Amy, originally from Taiwan, turned out to have an innate talent making tofu and eventually joined the family team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mild-mannered Chester told me about a turning point in his life, “When I was in my 40s, customers began asking me if I was ever going to take over the business.” Emboldened, Chester informed his father that he didn’t want to wait until he was 64 years old to take the reins. As an oblique answer, his father immediately handed over the ledger book and described how he should make payments to vendors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once he was in charge, Chester’s first thought was to automate the business in order to produce more tofu. His father, in his characteristic soft-spoken manner, made it quite clear that this was not an option. Nowadays, Chester is in charge of PR and the business side, while deferring the cooking duties to his wife’s skill and intuition. Amy, clad in boots and apron, deftly navigated the slippery floor in the open kitchen, a simple set-up that allows the steady stream of customers to view the entire tofu-making process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83531\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Tofu-Collage.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-83531\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Tofu-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Amy Nozaki in a few of the steps involved in making tofu by hand.

Photo: Anna Mindess\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With the vagaries of weather and over 200 possible varieties of non-GMO soybeans, there is no ironclad recipe for length of cooking and pressing. “It all depends,” said Amy explaining that she does everything by feel. After the beans are soaked overnight, ground with the help of the shop’s lone machine (a bean grinder), they are cooked in water, then transferred to a hand-operated bean press which liquifies the ground beans into warm soy milk. A natural coagulant, \u003cem>nigari\u003c/em>, is added to the soy milk. Armed with a large paddle, Amy stirred the curds in a huge pot until just the right consistency was achieved, then scooped them into wide rectangular wooden crates, lined with cheesecloth. These are covered with wooden mats and heavy weights for about a half an hour until they reach the desired density. Amy then turns out the scored tofu blocks to bobble in a cool water bath and hand cuts them into cubes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, the Nozakis added a new product to their line, a softer textured “tofu pudding” which comes with a brown sugar and ginger syrup, a traditional Taiwanese combination. This popular sweet sells out quickly every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the customers are regulars who come into the shop armed with their own plastic tubs to transport their delicacies. The Nozakis sell to a few nearby markets but without any preservatives their tofu is at its best for only a few days. A while back, Iron Chef Morimoto visited the shop while he was setting up his restaurant in Napa. When he tasted the Nozakis’ tofu he was impressed with its sweetness and informed them he would serve it at his restaurant as long as they could deliver to Napa. Chester smiled ruefully and explained that he had to turn down the Chef’s request as his tiny family business didn’t have the resources to make such deliveries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Batches of the Nozakis’ fresh tofu are produced all day long and usually sell out completely. “Quality is more important than quantity,” Chester said modestly. “Back in the store’s heyday we were producing up to 1600 blocks a day (versus the millions made by automated production companies). But the economic downturn had an impact and now we average 400-500 blocks a day. Our customer base is changing too as elderly Japanese customers are thinning out. But we are getting more Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese consumers as well as a few Caucasians and Latinos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I took my precious bundle of tofu home, I decided to let its pure fresh taste shine through and so prepared it in the simplest fashion: topped with grated ginger, chopped scallions and a drizzle of soy sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83533\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/simple-tofu-dinner.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-83533\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/simple-tofu-dinner.jpg\" alt=\"The freshest tofu deserves the simplest preparation.
