Pure water.  Keep changing water everyday and u can keep the beans in your fridge for over 1 week.  May be u can wait for few days before changing water, I am not sure.

VENUS,

Being so curious and interested to know how do you use 豆腐渣 to make meatloaf, can you post recipe here. We make a lot of soya milk and really need a way to use those residue...

Thanks!

豆腐渣！？哈哈。我家以前自己打豆浆的时候就老做。用油和葱花炒了，再烙点煎饼，卷着吃。可好吃了。就是要注意多吃其他水果蔬菜，不然就大蹲不出来了。:d

这个破拨号，老是害得我上不来，真气死我了

Are u sure? I thought besides nutrients, there are lots of fibre in beans. Too lazy to check now!


Use any simple meatloaf/hamburger/meatball recipe such as http://www.momshomecooking.net/meatloaf/. Replace 1/3 of meat with 豆腐渣(by volume not weight), u should not have to change anything else. i.e. use 1 lb. meat+ .5 lb 豆腐渣, ~50% volume of meat is fine, don't have to weight it. Adjust the amount of 豆腐渣 + spices as u go. Personally I am not crazy about the boring taste of Soya bean, I would add more spices, e.g. ketchup, Worchester Sauce, dry spices, etc. Chinese spices should be good too!

Replace 1/4 -> 1/2 cup of 豆腐渣 for flour when u make bread or chinese noodle. Why not? European put left over potato into their bread, taste quite good. U may have to decrease more flour as 豆腐渣 is heavy. Please share recipe here when u find a good balance.

Same for Shepherd's Pie, great simple 1 dish meal, check on web for detailed/ variety of recipes:
1 lb. ground meat (-> .65 lb meat + .35~lb. 豆腐渣)
1 cup vegetable (frozen/can corn kernels are great, no juice)
1 can tomato soup/gravy

Brown meat, drain fat. Mix above, put into 8" baking dish, cover with mashed potato, bake in ~350 for ~30 min. (Fancy -> draw your face on potato with fork + butter will give u a golden top ) Happy cooking!

my PC died last night, i have to use this one without chinese typing software.

why the 豆腐渣 can make kaka hard!? if u don't use oil to fry it, it is just too dry to pass ur intestines. in the past time, there were not lots food,oil is expensive, so people ate the 豆腐渣. that's what my mom told me several years ago when the first time i ate it...mom said it is "Yi Ku Si Tian"

Kaka, HaHa
What is "Yi Ku Si Tian"?

Anyone interested in the topic can do a search and read about Soya. ". . . dry roasted soyabeans . . .good source of fibre" , good enough for me. http://www.ruchihealth.com/soya/soya_imp.htm#Fiber, http://www.vegsoc.org/info/soya.html) Recipe at: http://www.ruchihealth.com/soya/faqs2.htm#I%20purchased%20roasted%20soynuts%20from%20a%20health%20food%20store%20and%20I%20just%20loved%20them.%20%20How%20would%20I%20make%20them%20at%20home?

I am not a vegetarian but support Natural Food concept, there's too much processed food around me. As for the 豆腐渣, it's natural, actually smell good. I didn't want to waste thing.

There may even be receipe on the web for 豆腐渣. How about 豆腐渣 Loaf/Burger.

Following is my last ?loaf for your thoughts. Tasted OK but don't replicate it.  Don't screme when u read:
Left over in fridge:
~2 cups left over Chilli Tofu (Ma Poa Tofu) lots of gravy, meshed with fork
~2/3 cup cooked white rice
1 cooked potato, mesh
3 slices fronzen bread, toast + dry, crumble with hand or mesh with bottle
Added:
2/3 cup shredded raw carrots
2/3 cup finely chopped onion (too much onion but I didn't have celery)
2 extra large eggs
2 tbsp. dried Parsley (green, no taste)
2 tsp. Parmesean Cheese (Chinese spices would go well with chilli taste from Tofu too)
~1 lb. lean ground pork
(add oat/bread when it is too wet, add egg/stock/milk when it is too dry)

Mush everything up(left over disappeared), pack into baking dish, microwave for 10 minutes, baked@ 350 for 30 minutes, done! This time 75% mush, 25% meat. Should have added 1 extra egg+2 toasts, but didn't have time. Side of loaf was perfect, middle fell apart as there was too much moisture. Served with butter wax bean+fried mushroom slices, would have been better with butter bruxelle sprout+garlic mushroom. Fresh boiled down tomato would have been nice over meat loaf. Loaf could serve 4-6 person.

As long as it doesn't fall apart when u slice/serve, it's good. Too spicy, use it for sandwich. If u don't like the taste, serve it with Gordon Bleu ? gravy(can) or a quick tomato sauce(can)+dry spice+olive slices, looks great! When in disaster, use curry in loaf or gravy, it cover all taste.

Most of the time, I use 50% vegetable + 50% meat (by volume) in my meat loaf, increase egg/bread (binding function) if necessary. When I use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs, I add lemon/tomato paste/ketchup/mayonnaise/mustard to cut the gummy and gluey taste of oat. Once I forgot that the meat was regular and my oatmeal soaked up all the fat, awful! Moist your grain/bread with egg/milk/stock/water before adding meat and bake on baking dish so that excess fat can be drained. Add Wheat Germ when u think u are depressed (vitamin B12?, I may be wrong on this one). Still too awful, mesh it up again and hide everything in spegetti sauce!

Left over meatloaf? If u think the taste is beefy -> mesh it up, fry with onion+mushroom, add Gordon Bleu ? gravy + sour cream, serve with rice/egg noodle, quite good. There is nothing more fun than cooking!
