Home Made Tofu

Ingredients :
1.75 cup of plain soya milk
4 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Dash of pepper
Chicken stock granules to taste

The same method but I used a retangle container about 12cm x 16cm.
steam about 20 - 30 mins or till satay stick comes out clean will do.

Let the water boil at high heat and turn it down to medium-low after you put in the mixture to steam. The tofu will not be smooth if the steam is too strong (will have air bubble holes).
