Take some soy beans and soak them in water overnight.
Take these soaked beans and place them in a blender
with some fresh water. Grind them up. Take this stuff
and pour through several layers of cheesecloth.
Return the pulp to the blender, add more water and
grind some more. Pour through several layers of
cheesecloth.
Take the soy "milk" that you have made and boil it.
Turn off the heat and add vinegar. This should curdle
it and you can wrap it in cheesecloth (clean, not the
cloth you used to strain) and weigh it down with a pot
of water. At this point you can treat it just like
cheese except that it should always be kept in water.
You will need to experiment with it to see how long it
takes to get firm. The longer it is pressed the firmer
it gets. If it isn't strained well the tofu will end
up crumbly.
