PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a Tofu (soybean curd) having holes and to be readily boiled. SOLUTION: In this method for producing the Tofu having holes, firstly, an aqueous solution of O/W type emulsifying agent is added to a properly heat-treated soybean milk, a solution of a coagulant for Tofu is added to the soybean milk within a proper time. The soybean milk is mixed, coagulated, properly pressed and formed to complete the production of the Tofu. The aqueous solution of the emulsifying agent is uniformly stirred and a foamy state is produced in the aqueous solution with air and is made not to flow. The Tofu thus produced has a soft quality, fine texture, smoothness, elasticity, reduced scattering in frying with an oil in comparison with a Tofu obtained only by adding a coagulant for Tofu to soybean milk. Since holes exist in the Tofu, the Tofu does not break into pieces while cooking and rapidly absorbs flavor of soup. |
