DIY Silken Tofu Guide: GDL vs Gypsum, Pour-Over, Steamed & More | Mary's Test Kitchen

Silken tofu looks simple, but methods, coagulants, and heat can completely change the result. In this DIY silken tofu guide, I share what actually works when making silken tofu at home—and what doesn’t.

I show how to make smooth, beginner-friendly higher protein silken tofu using GDL with both the pour-over and steaming methods, compare GDL vs gypsum, and test what happens when homemade silken tofu is frozen and thawed (it creates an amazing texture). I also experiment with making silken tofu in the microwave.
