CHICKPEAS really CAN be anything! Just one pound of dried chickpeas make these...

Lately, we've been discovering The Power of Chickpeas! We already know that chickpeas can become tofu and make the best tasting veggie broth, but what about the chickpea fiber and chickpea starch? Let's make it zero waste!
In this episode all about chickpeas, I use one pound of chickpeas and try to make the most chickpea recipes. We're talking about:
- the two types of soy-free tofu you can make from chickpeas (Burmese Tofu and High Protein Chickpea Tofu),
- how to make flour out of leftover chickpea pulp from making chickpea milk,
- what happens when you add water to chickpea fiber,
- noodles made from chickpeas, and
- vegan keto/low carb bread made from chickpeas!
Thank you so much for watching this video, especially since I took a really long to to make it! There were disasters along the way, but everything turned out beautifully. I hope you enjoy!
Cheers,
Mary

Here's a tip for chickpeas, if you are making hummus or just eating them: Per half pound or 250gm of dry beans, put a generous pinch of sodium bicarbonate, aka baking soda, into the soaking water. This will not make the chickpeas taste like bicarb. After soaking for several hours, drain and rinse. Your garbanzo beans will hold their shape, but will be very soft and almost creamy. I use this soaking method for most beans and it has never failed me. Vegan for almost 6 years, so I've made a lot of beans!😅

[@marystestkitchen]

Love me a pinch of baking soda to make lusciously tender chickpeas :-)

[@elietedarce1266]

I created a "super soy tofu". A method that saves even very weak and crumble tofus. It's about get the tofu block and put in a vapor cooker for micro wave for 6 minutes, remove and try again for 4 minutes. It make the tofu proteins to glue on each other creating a super binding tofu. It also drains a lot of water away, making super hard tofu. And the vapor moving inside to outside creates tiny holes giving appearance of swiss cheese. You can also vapor cook inside a instant pot but it will not lose water or create a super hard tofu or swiss cheese tiny holes. What about try this out but for chickpea tofu?

[@bellenesatan]

Is vapor cooker another term for a steamer? Sorry, I've never heard of that

[@elietedarce1266]

@@bellenesatan Yes, it's a steamer but for microwave, it have a space for the water do not touch the tofu. In microwave steamer you have the effect of the micro wave penetration heating and the effect of the steam itself, making tofu proteins get stron binding and draining water from tofu. But you need be carefull to not cook too much or the tofu can start to get brown on the exterior. Intant pot steaming do not risk make tofu brown but do not drain water since it's just the steam effect over tofu under high pressure. It's good to keep the moisture of tofu and increase binding. Microwave steamer can turn tofu so strong and dense that you can get thin slices and wave the slice on air and it will not tear apart.

This was an amazing video. I watch a lot of food content on the youtube. This has to be one of the most fascinating videos I've seen. I am by no means under a restrictive diet, but I have cooked for dietary restricted people both professionally and in the home setting. Kudos to you for literally using every part of the chickpea along the way. It really makes me want to go soak a pound right now and experiment with it myself! My first thought for the tofu crumble would be some sort of mock breakfast scramble. Where your crumbles take the role of the egg. Some nice fresh veggies, and maybe some chickpea toast!
