  1. I absolutely love this guy. I knew how tofu is made but Steve here is a master, and he also has a great sense of humor about it.

  2. This was really great but the guy lost me when he said he talks to the curds and says something “silly to encourage them to come to the top”… yikes

  3. This strikes me as something very easy to do, but very hard to do well. Thank you for sharing the process!

  4. I hate everything about tofu, yet I was very interested in this. Very pretty plating and clearly this man cares about what he makes for his customers. Bravo Steve

  5. We've been obsessing over your videos and would be over the moon if you shared your thoughts on ours!

  6. Is it possible to make homemade soft tofu using bottled soymilk? I can only find the hard dehydrated type of tofu where I live
