2 Ingredients Chickpea Tofu

Ahoy there! Ready for another round of tofu talk? This time we're shaking things up and ditching the traditional soy variety in favor of chickpea tofu. Trust me, it's a lot simpler to make than soy tofu. With chickpea tofu, the cooked milk solidifies naturally when cooled, so you don't have to mess around with acids to make it coagulate.
And the best part? This tofu is smooth, silky, and has a neutral, nutty flavor that's perfect for dishes like mapo tofu or fried crispy tofu. Plus, it's way cheaper than buying a pack of tofu from the store - we're talking 1/10th of the cost here, folks! And it's not just for vegans and vegetarians - anyone looking for soy-free alternatives should give it a try.
Now, if you're still skeptical about tofu (I'm looking at you, fellow vegetarian), I promise this Burmese chickpea tofu is a game-changer. And let's be real, this isn't even tofu - it's more like young tofu or polenta in texture. But it's made from chickpea paste, whipped with water and salt, and boiled until thick and glossy. The end result is a soft, chewy, and slightly fatty tofu with a delicious chickpea flavour.
And here's the kicker: not only is this recipe soy-free and easy to make, but it's also incredibly versatile. Add it to salads, stir-fries, soups - you name it! It's the tofu that keeps on giving. So why not give it a try? Your taste buds (and wallet) will thank you.
Oh, and before I forget - if you're looking for more vegan recipes and tips, make sure to check out my other videos. Despite not being a vegan, I do enjoy a lot of vegetarian and vegan food. I share where I can with recipes like this. Happy cooking!

Hi friends. So many comments on this video ask for a firm tofu recipe so I've done my research to make this new video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH-bfHhqpJmrg9k The same technique can be used with Chickpea Tofu I believe. Would love for you to go check it out:) Be good!

[@catwoman7462]

I've just watched a video where tofu was made out of red lentils. He blended the soaked lentils and didn't drain them, he just cooked the whole lot together, and his tofu was firm. If you didn't drain the mixture wouldn't you get a firm tofu with this?

[@raniazakaria5173]

Hello. Can i pot some cheddar cheese pawder?

[@ekot0419]

Thanks for the recipe. This video inspired me on my niche for my future channel :) Please keep it up. Liked and Subbed

[@gregorydocenko4019]

Great video. After rehydration (broth)don’t drain. Use everything with the pulp. Coconut oil (solid) is the best for me.Then used more water (broth) in the reduction cooking process It would be a heartier and firmer (meat texture) due to the fiber. Use chicken broth instead of water. Bullion is even faster,cheaper, and easier. Instant chicken meat! You can flame grill it fooling everyone that it’s chicken. Add barbecue sauce and no one will know.

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

Such a great suggestion Greg. I’m going to have to give it a go sometime soon. Thank you for sharing!

[@Crwhite69]

Hey @gregorydocenko, that’s the same thing I was thinking. Would love it if you did a video on it. I might try it myself.

[@rye7461]

Hey, I wanted to join the conversation and add that I tried your method Gregory and I LOVED the results. I like my tofu on the firmer side so I made sure to cook a lot of the water out in the reduction process, bc the more water cooked out the firmer it’ll be, and once I set it in the fridge it got even better 😍 especially after a few days. The only variation from the video and Gregory’s method is I didn’t use a broth like bouillon bc I follow a alkaline diet but bc of the seasonings used it still turned out great. Thank you so much for the video and Gregory for your added recommendations, they worked great together!

[@Emivioricomex]

Wow so DO NOT take out the pulp?? You cook it all down together with the milk?? Does it not just taste like chickpea puree??

[@rye7461]

@@Emivioricomex no it doesn’t imo. Especially when following the steps recommended especially w/ seasoning including bullion or not. Much more reminiscent of a firmer tofu.

I love your light tread on earth. It is a relief to see I'm not alone in not wasting anything.

You can also filter some of the blended chickpeas while you use the rest of the blended chickpeas unfiltered for a denser tofu, or you can just skip filtering the blended chickpeas all together.

Just stumbled over this video in my quest for a more detailed and succesfull display of chickpea tofu videos. I really appreciated the video format-simple (aand funny) but still enough informative details to be useful!. you got one new subscriber and a like :D

[@3050humleby]

And I actually got a question. When using dry chickpeas for ex hummus, you have to boil the chickpeas for 30-60 minitues after the hydration dua to high amount of lectin. Do you know if the heating progress when making tofu, is enough to remove the necessary about of lectin? :)

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

Thank you for the sub. Glad you find the videos useful! I want to say yes but at the same time I'm not a food scientist and I don't know enough about it unfortunately.

[@kelleywyskiel3478]

So nice! I was making Shan tofu often for a while. Honestly I just grew tired of the process. But I’ll try this, not much different but a few less steps. This is more like a hummus cheese, or chickpea cheese 😂 and I love it. Our tofu is from a mom and pop maker but has tripled in price so we’ve cut back a bit. This will help.

Today, I just literally tried lentil tofu! So surprised and pleased it will be a lifetime staple! Also fries up super fast with a little bit of olive oil spread on it and spices

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

Crisping them up seem to be the best way to go about handling them. I'm still learning for sure :)

[@neeraj8501]

I also tried and did no taste dood in any way. its way better if we cook lentil in old traditional way

[@angelaalbright2891]

​So.... little ADHD thinking outside the box, it's pretty soft, would it mix smoothly with fruit either fresh or frozen thawed and a bit of sweetener? If too thick would a bit of juice or even water or cream make it thebright consistency. And if you added lot of frozen blueberries or other frozen fruit and sweetener and stirred vigorously would it do the same as Greek yogurt and make a soft ice cream type treat. These are things I do with Greek yogurt and although it's a bit thicker....could it work? Or could you add more water when making if you wanted to use it this way? I've seen the thicker versions so it tracks to me you could go even less firm and perhaps add some sweetener like maple syrup before refrigeration

Hi Sam, thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I gave this a try today but I didn't use enough water and it turned thick very quickly in the saucepan. I added a bit of cumin and a bit of massala spice to the mix before putting it in the fridge and I just cut a small slice, floured it and pan fried it and it's really nice, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle 😊 I think I should follow your instructions more closely though 😉 I am so amazed you can make tofu from chickpeas!

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

Tell me about it! It's the little things I try my best to influence! Every bit counts!

[@kristoferkrus]

If you want firm and bouncy tofu that holds together if you boil it, you can quite easily get that if you have a tofu press. Just let the chickpea milk (what you have after having filtered out the pulp) rest in a bowl for half an hour to let the starches sink to the bottom of the bowl and then carefully scoop everything but the starches in the bottom of the bowl over to the sauce pan before you boil it. As your chickpea milk boils, you will see that it separates into curds and whey, even with no coagulant added. You can then drain out the whey by pouring everything through a cheese cloth, then put the cheesecloth with the curds still in it into your tofu press and press it in the fridge overnight.

[@angelaalbright2891]

Hot weather idea...I'm from Canada so my expertise is the opposite but I think insulating from the warm air in the room is what you need to do. Using a larger container even the pot you'll be cooking in and put the chickpea/water jar in the pot and add tap water and a few ice cubes if the water is pretty warm. Check periodically and add more ice cubes if needed to just keep that outer water at a reasonable temperature during the soaking. The soaking water will be a similar temp so you don't want it ice cold or you'll need to soak longer. It's winter in Canada and I'd probably just use hot water right in the the chick peas

[@loidabello6908]

Can you use already cooked chickpea may I know if It works or not thanks great video amazing

You can use the chickpea pulp to prepare felafel, they turn out very nice and tasty, just a bit drier then when you make felafel with rehydrateted chickpeas.

[@virginiavoigt2418]

I'll bet it would be good in bread recipes, both quick and yeast varieties. For quick breads, I would substitute it for other similar ingredients like pumpkin, adding a little additional moisture to make it more the consistency of canned pumpkin. I would do this to increase the likelihood of success. It would add a great deal of nutrition combined with grain. Yeast breads are so flexible, I would let the texture of the dough guide me.

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

You're so welcome friend :)

[@TheBaldr]

Why not let the milk sit for a couple hours before heating and carefully scoop off the top 90% for heating leaving the last 10 percent with the starch residue. This will give a firmer less fragile tofu. It is the starch that makes it fragile.

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

Great tip! Will experiment further. Lots of good info here

[@baumi8125]

Usually that's a good recommendation for tofu but I'd say the opposite with this, as it's the starch setting the tofu instead of the typical coagulation and separation of curds, which the starch would usually interfere with sticking together but in this case it's the starch setting or making the tofu, like a firm corn starch set pudding. Wouldn't reccomend trying this as the tofu probably wouldn't set properly.

I admit, this looks easy but it's extremely difficult to make. I tried every technique on youtube but none of it came out the way it's supposed to. 12 pounds of chickpeas gone to waste. First, I tried the other way first where some tutorials blend the chickpeas then squeeze the milk through a milk bag, heat and stir it until thickened. The consistency looked pretty much to what I've seen here but when it cooled it was soft and mushy. Tried it again, this time with even less water (didn't add much the first batch). I stirred and I stirred and I stirred and Oh I stirred and switched hands several times until the consistency resembled what's seen here. Let it cooled. A bit firmer but still too soft. After the 12 lbs of chickpeas was wasted, I went to the store and bought chickpea flour. I solicited the help of my girlfriend and son to follow along with the tutorials to keep me doing exactly what's seen here. I do that to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Still turned out mushy after stirring on low to medium heat for an extra extra long time. Think I'm gonna stick to just roasting and stewing my chickpeas whole. Food is too expensive to waste, especially because I was trying to be economical

[@teta6244]

can you add a starch powder in the blender before cooking to firm up the tofu if you need that texture?

Can probably add that to the final mixture. But I believe leaving the pulps in is a good way to do it too. Check out the video I pinned at the top where I tried using Lentil to make firm tofu.

[@rebeccaaustin2458]

Hey Sam, I wondered why you didn't use the soaking water when you blended your soaked chick peas. Thank you.

Hi Rebecca, It depends on the chickpea. I had some little bugs in mine so had to toss it. Some chickpeas can also be dirtier than others.

[@serdalkaptan]

Thanks for sharing this budget and environment and health friendly recipe. First I watched your lentil tofu video which is also very mice. Then searched your chickpea recipe. Can I make this tofu with pulp (without straining the pulp out)? Will the taste or texture deteriorate? My second question: Can I make tofu from Mongo Beans? Thanks, regards from Canada.

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

I believe leaving the pulp in with chickpea will yield you a similar result. Let me know how you go? I've not had much tofu experience with mongo beans tbh. They are traditionally used in sweet dishes in Taiwan and they do have a crumbly texture. Will have to see if they have a similar startch content compared to chickpeas and lentils I guess.
