on our return from the wilsons prom's trip, we had claypot rice at one of the restaurants in springvale. after dinner, ivy dropped off ida at the house of one of her church friends, calvin.
calvin was going to teach ida and dorcas how to make tau foo fa (cantonese) or tau huay (hokkien).
the soya beans had been soaked and steeped in water overnight. ida mentioned that this had to be done away from sunlight.
the beans had to be washed clean before they were put into a blender. water equalled to the amount of beans was added. the blending was repeated; the second time around, water was again added.
the soy milk was filtered and squeezed through a cloth bag. then it was cooked over a medium fire. sugar, followed by gelatin, was then added to the soy milk. you had to keep stirring when these are added.
