Nigari – Coagulante Líquido para Tofu de 8oz – 100% Natural – Produzido no Canadá
Descubra o segredo por trás do tofu de qualidade superior com o Nigari, um coagulante líquido à base de cloreto de magnésio, que transforma a soja em um alimento delicioso e nutritivo. Conhecido como o “True North” dos coagulantes de tofu, o nigari é amplamente reconhecido por proporcionar um sabor e textura incomparáveis. No Japão, o tofu feito com nigari é valorizado e vendido a preços significativamente mais altos em comparação com aqueles feitos com outros coagulantes. Além de seu sabor excepcional, o tofu de nigari é uma escolha mais saudável, pois adiciona magnésio, um mineral essencial que muitos de nós carecemos.
Produzido com carinho em pequenas quantidades na bela Ilha de Vancouver, no Canadá, nosso nigari é 100% sustentável. Ele é um subproduto natural da colheita de nosso premiado sal marinho em flocos gourmet, também disponível na Amazon e em um pacote econômico junto com o nigari. Ao contrário dos cristais de nigari ou coagulantes de gesso que são feitos com produtos químicos, nosso nigari líquido é produzido de forma natural, passando por um rigoroso processo de filtragem em sete etapas que garante que começamos com a água do mar mais pura possível, antes de ser fervida em altas temperaturas.
Com uma concentração elevada, cada frasco contém coagulante suficiente para aproximadamente 25 galões de leite de soja, dependendo da receita. Mas o nigari não se limita apenas ao tofu; ele pode ser utilizado em diversas aplicações culinárias. Experimente usá-lo em vez de limão para coagular queijos frescos como ricota e paneer, ou para aprimorar a fermentação de chucrute, kimchi ou pão de fermentação natural.
– Sabor Superior: O nigari proporciona um tofu com um gosto mais rico e uma textura mais firme.
– Saudável: Adiciona magnésio à sua dieta, essencial para a saúde óssea e muscular.
– Produção Sustentável: Fabricado de forma ecológica, respeitando o meio ambiente.
– Versatilidade Culinária: Ideal não apenas para tofu, mas também para queijos e fermentações.
– Economia: Cada frasco é altamente concentrado, oferecendo um excelente custo-benefício.
Para utilizar o Nigari como coagulante, comece aquecendo o leite de soja até quase ferver. Em seguida, dilua a quantidade recomendada de nigari em um pouco de água morna (geralmente, 1 a 2 colheres de sopa de nigari para cada litro de leite de soja). Misture suavemente a solução de nigari ao leite de soja aquecido e deixe descansar por cerca de 15 a 20 minutos. Após esse período, você verá a coalhada se formar. Coe a mistura em um pano de queijo para separar o tofu do soro, e pressione conforme desejado para obter a consistência desejada. Aproveite seu tofu fresco e saudável!

This is the second bottle I get of this Nigari. The first one (glass bottled) worked really well, although at the end I had to add more Nigari for the soy milk to coagulate. The second bottle came in a plastic container and I am keeping it in a pantry outside the kitchen to avoid it being exposed to heat.
Other than that it works well, if it does not make sure your soy milk is not watery.

This stuff works good, as a first time tofu maker, I was happy to have it to ensure my tofu turned out ok. I am not sure about the ingredients or if it could be made/found cheaper, but happy to support a local company and it also has cool packaging.

We use a soy milk maker. We strain the milk add the coagulant, and after a few minutes press the in cheesecloth with a cool little press and hey presto; tofu!

We decided to try making our own tofu when the only grocery store in town wasn’t able to stock it for months. The first time I made it, I used the directions from the website post Killer Tofu with Andrea Nguyen. It worked out perfectly, but it’s a bit fussy with how you add the coagulant. The second time, we decided to go with the instructions that come with this nigari – it did not work out. The curds were teensy weensy and the tofu was more like a gritty paste than tofu. Lesson learned – go with the fuss. Also – if you use a sieve to press the tofu, like we did, make sure that the weight you use has a narrow enough circumference that as it presses down, it won’t get stopped by the narrowing curve of the sieve. We forgot that, and our tofu couldn’t get pressed as much as we wanted because the weight could not keep going down.

Made tofu for the first time and the Nigari worked great. Followed the directions that came with the product using homemade soy milk. Very delicious. Used it to make miso soup. Highly recommend.

The lid seems to be loose and is leaking. I can not use it.
Could you send me a new one?

Received our beautifully packaged bottle of Nigari. Packaged well & cushioned with plastic bubble.
Made our very first time TOFU and it was a success. My husband sautéed Tofu & made the dish very tasty & yummy.
Made my favorite snack when I was growing up, TAHO (Silken Tofu) . Can’t believe we made our very own Taho from scratch. Very tasty, no bitter taste at all. Very yummy with caramelized sugar and BOBA (pearl balls).. Glad we learned how to make it. We’ll be making this more often.
Thanks so much Nigari Vancouver Island Sea Salt.

i don’t know it’s my first time, but, it is so soft, and creamy like interior, like cream cheese. i scalded, added nigari and nothing so i went online and tried to heat up and added more nigari, it curdled up so i strained but the texture was too soft i flushed it in cold water but that cream texture was still there, the outer rind was like soft tofu kept the cream inside as long as it didn’t break and then the inside would crumble up. i’d say it was good for vegan custards. and the taste is just so sweet. so i threw it back in boiling water which firmed it up a bit but the inside is sticky creamy now, still sweet, the okara is also sweet and that got cooked way more, so it isn’t cooking, the taste is unusually sweet from the nigari, i used 8 cups water to 3 cups beans, drained from soaking, i ended up with slight over 8 cups strong scented, thick, beige puree, used 2 teaspoons and 1/16th or 8th more, and still added another teaspoon later, i guess this isn’t the type of tofu i’m used to but they used nigari and was delivered fresh here that day, it is cooked and it is edible, i just can’t get used to that sweetness and creamy texture. i am sure others love this type though, ty

This product aided in producing a good solid block of tofu which was not bitter

This is a glass bottle that was shipped in a barely padded envelope? The cap was cracked and the product was leaking since the only thing holding it on was the seal.
Product works fantastic though. No bitter taste when you make tofu (can also be used to make ricotta)
I would have given it 5 stars but I had to strain it into another container when I opened it. I now have a nice jar that I can’t use for anything else.
