In a small bowl, combine 2t gypsum powder, 2t cornstarch and 3T water, stir well to combine, pour it into a separate large pot
Pour soy milk into the large pot, quickly remove any foam and bubble, close the lid and rest for 30 minutes

In the tofu press, lay a muslin or cheese cloth, spoon the tofu curdle into the press
Close the lid, and add weight and press for 30-45 minutes for soft tofu, 1-1.5hours for firm tofu
