Taho
Mo
10/01/06 		My boyfriend is Filipino and we love going to get Taho from the filipino market. I've been trying to make it at home and CANNOT get it right. They also make it at the Chinese place we go to with similar consistancy and flavor (except with ginger).
I've tried soymilk boiled with gelatin. It ends up like tofu jello and can't be heated without melting. I also tried steaming tofu in the rice cooker with hot water but it never seems to turn into that perfect not quite liquid/solid form. Do I have to use soy flour or steam soy beans to get that creamy/goopy texture?
Please help!

ellen

06/02/09 		I am making the taho. Trying to make it from scratch and have seen recipe that included dehulling the soybeans. In your recipe, it didn't say that and my first attempt, it curdled, what did I do wrong? I wanted it to come out smooth. Any tips? Also, I am using calcium sulfate. Love your website!

I've only had it at one place here in Northern Kentucky. It's smooth like jello, but firmer almost like a glossy but edible plastic feel (at first), then doesn't quite dissolve on tongue but can be mashed up in the mouth.
Then has a mildly milky, subtle sweet almond flavor to it.

Is the TAHO?
