Ever wondered how fresh tofu is prepared and why locally made tofu tastes better than packaged alternatives? At Dada Hardayal (DHD) / White Elephant, we follow a clean, traditional yet modern production process that ensures purity, nutrition, and superior freshness in every batch.

The journey of fresh tofu begins with the careful selection of premium-quality soybeans. We source high-grade beans known for their protein content and natural flavor. These soybeans are thoroughly washed and soaked in clean drinking water for several hours. This soaking softens the beans and prepares them for grinding while preserving their nutrients.

Once soaked, the soybeans are ground into a smooth mixture and filtered to extract fresh soy milk. This milk is the heart of tofu production. It is gently heated under controlled temperatures to maintain nutritional value while ensuring food safety. As the soy milk warms, natural coagulants are added. These help the proteins in the milk separate into soft curds and liquid whey.

The curds are then collected and transferred into molds lined with clean cloth. Here, gentle pressure is applied to remove excess water and shape the tofu into blocks. The pressing time determines whether the tofu becomes soft, medium, or firm — allowing different textures for various cooking styles.

After shaping, the tofu blocks are cooled in fresh, clean water to set their structure and lock in freshness. This cooling step also improves texture and shelf life naturally without the need for preservatives.

At Dada Hardayal (DHD) / White Elephant, hygiene is a top priority. Our production area is cleaned regularly, staff follow proper handling practices, and all equipment is sanitized to ensure the highest food safety standards.

We never use artificial preservatives, colors, or chemicals. This means our tofu tastes natural, stays fresh when refrigerated, and retains maximum nutritional benefits.

Daily production ensures customers receive tofu that is soft, flavorful, and freshly prepared. Whether used in curries, stir fries, salads, or snacks, fresh tofu enhances every meal.

This simple yet careful process — from soybeans to finished blocks — is what makes tofu one of the healthiest and most versatile plant-based foods available today.
