Notes

While stirring, keep checking the bottom of the pot/pan so that the Burmese Mix doesn't burn or stick. If the Mix is sticking or burning, this can be an indicator that your non-stick coating is no longer good.
Remember to only use silicone or wood on a non-stick surface. Metal can scrape off the non-stick coating.
I used refined coconut oil. Make sure if you are using coconut oil it is refined. Otherwise you will have an added coconut flavor to anything you make when using the oil.
For Firm Tofu: The more days you allow to pass the more water will drain from the Tofu. I waited 3 days for an extra firm texture. However if you want to use the Tofu in a recipe where it needs to be soft enough to mash or blend with other ingredients then use it the same day you make it.
