Easy Black Bean Tofu (Soy Free & High Protein)

[@zepzour7391]

I might have to try this. I love me some soy but I probably need to diversify my proteins a bit more. That black color is gorgeous

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yeah its a fun thing to make and the colour is pretty cool!

[@ReadySetSkateFilms]

great in tacos

[@christiepatterson3359]

No coagulation agent? No pressing? I had no idea it could be this simple! Thank you! I just put my first batch in the fridge. So easy!

[@RequiemPoete]

I mean you might want to press it just to smooth it out. But yeah. Looks like coagulation happens on its own.

[@owl6218]

i think this is what they call burmese tofu. the starch in it when cooked caused it to become a jelly...along with the fibre. the protein was never separated out....

[@owl6218]

Mary's test kitchen showed that this bean will not curdle well enough to separate the cheese/protein. so this is the only way. the protein, starch along with the fiber

[@jibpedersen]

I made this tonight, a half recipe, and they turned out beautifully. My ninja blender did a great job pulverizing the soaked beans. I was worried that the beans would be too hard but it was fine. I could tell when the black bean mixture was cooked because the batter was pulling away from the bottom of the pan somewhat. Took about 17 minutes on medium heat. I only added garlic powder and salt and pepper because I was all out of onion powder. Very yummy and a nice alternative to tofu. Thanks again!

[@noahchase7854]

Taco seasoning is genius

[@josephr9551]

What a fantastic idea. It's just like cooking polenta. Why didn't I think of that before.

[@MissBizyBea]

I wonder if this will work with already cooked beans? Add more water to them and cook again or blend with just enough water to get a paste? Hmm, interesting ideas are floating through my head like preparing old soy beans this way to see if they will tofu. You probably know this, but in case you don't, dried soy beans, have an expiration date and once past about a year they will no longer make tofu! I used to make a lot of tofu (5 lbs. at a time) using Nigari and then suddenly they would no longer clump in the cooking process. There began a massive search to figure WHY? Thanks for your creative ideas and I'm going to try this technique with some black beans I just cooked yesterday in the iPot!!! I'll let you know if it works.........

[@Simnettnutrition]

I have never seen mock "tofu" made with cooked beans, always with dried beans (even lentils, chickpea tofu, etc) so I don't think it would work quite the same but I'm not sure!

[@paternyao]

Might be the best channel on youtube 👍 Thanks for the recipe man

[@janetatuniquerawfoods2361]

I agree. This is one of the best discoveries on Earth. This is the only way I have garbanzos and occasionally black beans. Everyone needs to really he’s the soaking and cooking times. It takes some time and love to make… and I find it gives the best digestion…therefore better assimilation… and it’s taste and texture are fantastic. Of course with a good salad and intense workouts there are also gains🤣✨❤️Thank you. Sincerely Janet

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks Janet! 🙏👊

[@kiwifeijoa]

This looks delicious! Great that you put the flavouring inside the tofu. Seaweed flavour would be nice too. Definitely going to try this one..

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes that would definitely give it a nice flavour, plus you can marinade it too, just like tofu so the flavour combos are endless!

[@libbylandscape3560]

Can’t eat soy, but love chick peas & black beans! This looks so easy to do, thanks!

[@maliapaws6456]

Omg thank you for testing this!! I had the exact same thought to try with black beans but I was nervous that the black beans would be too tough to blend for tofu. Gonna make me some smoky chipotle and garlic black bean tofu for some sweet potato taco bowls 🎉😊 Thanks again!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Oh that sounds amazing! great flavour combo!

[@mandym8781]

Yum! First time I’ve seen this done with black beans - looks delicious! 😋

[@pb.pb.pb.pb.]

How about using an electric hand-mixer on the lowest setting while simmering the beans on the stove 😉😎. Save yourself some arm workouts for the gym lol. Gonna try that out and let you know. I love the way this black bean tofu looks😮. So cool. I liked the chickpea tofu better than red lentil 🙌. And it was easier to make because i just bought chickpea flour😅. But both are great. Thank you Derek. Always coming through with great recipes. Best Vegan channel Ever !

[@kramkalisthenics]

Dude, now this is rad! I love tofu and black beans, but love black beans a tad more! Gotta try this! 🤯🤯🤯

[@WillyGett]

I'm excited to try this and bake a black bean tofu burger!!!! :O

[@frankchen4229]

liquid smoke, blackstrap molasses, cumin, onion powder, and tomato paste in that blitzed goop would be fantastic for a bbq themed starchy bean tofu

[@susanfoley3018]

Wow, I almost didn't watch, but the way you added your own seasoning to it before forming the cubes sounds amazing. I can't wait to try it myself!

[@apple369]

Oh yum! I'm going to try this with Chinese 5-Spice. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Oh that would be good!

[@loribakergirl6438]

Never knew you could do homemade tofu!! Thank you for sharing this and I’m going to try it! 🎉. I just passed on to some vegan family members. I share your site with everybody I can. Can’t wait to try this one!! 😊

[@amyholmes2114]

Soaking my black beans right now. Thank you for this groovy idea!

[@megbrown825]

Me too!

[@lawrencevoghell6226]

Have been watching you for a while. My first comment. Great videos. Thanks.

[@centralWisconsin1]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I can’t eat soy, so I greatly appreciate this. Also, I must’ve missed your video about doing the same thing with chickpeas, so I’ll have to go search for that one and give it a try as well. Thank you so much for these recipes Derek!!!

[@Simnettnutrition]

You're welcome! enjoy! The lentil and chickpea recipes are great too :)

[@schomestead2591]

Looks amazing! Well timed too because the word on the street is that there is a tofu/soy shortage coming.

[@madamplant]

Great! I made your red lentil tofu. It was fantastic ❤

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you I am glad you liked it!

[@VeganChiefWarrior]

sounds genious! will taste like kfc lol

[@adventuredogs8773]

Thanks heaps Derek, for all your top notch content and recipes. Super grateful for what you share, and love yours & Crystal's upbeat energy. Cheers from New Zealand

[@ncjrock1]

Wow, never thought about doing something like this. Looks delicious, can't wait to try and make this. Thanks for sharing.

[@khinkskhoils7647]

What an interesting idea. I'm definately going to make this. Tfs.

[@Simnettnutrition]

You're welcome!

[@anitaevans4349]

[@Kathryn721]

You can make black bean puffs, how fun!

[@jackgaughan2039]

Very interesting. Will try this. Cheers mate

[@melrox8809]

Black bean tofu that's a great idea. Looks good

[@linzertube]

Awesome idea for easy, delicious meals! Nice to be able to mix up the source of protein like that. Thanks, Derek!

[@ch1cksng3r]

Aaaahhhh. So excited to try this. Less fat that regular tofu, too.

[@lmcognitio2049]

A smart way to have tofu.. helpful to me 'cause it's kind of hard to find tofu here, and if you find it it's usually very expensive... I'm gonna try making my own tofu. 💪

[@geno5169]

You’re dish of black beans! Look so easy to no! And looks so yummy! And healthy! Thank ht Derek

[@dimyrecipes]

This is a very good recipe

[@Vibricks]

It's really amazing how simple and creative your recipes are you earned a sub here man

[@ginad3655]

well this is different.... good way to get more beans in our diet. Will give this a try! thanks for sharing

[@carlypastore]

Literally going to try this tonight for dinner tomorrow! Thank you this looks so yummy!

[@carlypastore]

Follow up…… the seasonings were on point! This tasted SOOO GOOD! Thank you Derik!!

[@stephaniegavin225]

I added coca, sweater & coffee, yummy desert

[@jag2333]

Hi 👋 very interesting. Who would have thought. Bean tofu😊

[@Beauxanimaux-]

This takes black beans to a whole new level! 🔥 🖤

[@madelinehall8944]

Thank you for sharing. I've been supporting a small business by ordering bean and lentil tofu. They may lose a customer. You have demonstrated how easy the process is, I can make my own. I wonder if I can use protein powder to increase the protein percentage?

[@carokitty27]

In Central America we eat black refried beans all time. I am wondering if I can use your technique when they are already cooked and then freeze them. We fried chopped onion and garlic and then we added to beans. It taste delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe. ❤

[@sanditurner8387]

Love this!!!!!! Have you ever made chickpea or other types of home made pasta? Would love to try this.

[@masoudahmad4348]

I love tofu, Mash it and mix it with egg and make an omelette or scramble egg, deep fry it with a lot of oil so inside become hollow the cut the tofu flip it inside out then fill it with mixed fish past and put in the refrigerator for 3 then deep fry it once again it taste amazing many things you can do with it

[@teagoldleaf4137]

So simple and the colour is gorgeous. I'll be giving this a try. Thanks Derek 😊

[@randomnessofNadia]

thank you so much. I am exploring vegan and diy options to have a better diet

[@AI-dreaming-Life]

I'm grateful for the valuable content in today's video. Had a good time watching and will return for more soon.

[@foxxycleopatra615]

I made your red lentil tofu a few months ago and loved it! So delicious so I’ll def try this too!

[@ScottishLass1950]

Hi again Derek, I can't wait to try this. I'll let you know but I'm sure it's going to be really scrumptious! 🍵

[@mikeskylark1594]

Nice one

[@Applefan101]

Great recipe and tofu twist. I’ll try and post the result 😅

[@Simnettnutrition]

I look forward to seeing it!

[@alexmg1439]

Thanks you for the recipe!! I will try to add some lemon and carrot in to this and cook it with spinach.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Oh interesting!

[@beatricerexros5397]

Super, thanks 🎉❤🎉

[@leifjohnson2081]

That is super easy! 😮 I’m gonna go try it! Epically the taco one. 😊 thank you!

[@lisakirkby1727]

This looks amazing. Can’t wait to make it. 💚✌🏻🌱

[@chankoendjbiharie961]

Interesant voor mij.

[@bonitaeby9527]

Can't wait to try this recipe! Really appreciate your innovation!

[@JoalHarding]

Awesome, thanks! Going to make it now with some black beluga lentils.🎉

[@marysmith7765]

Ooo make black bean tofu “bacon”, smokey/maple-y flavors? I just put black beans on to soak in the kitchen to find out!

[@JoseGarcia-qq6sk]

Will be doing this for sure

[@carmenbailey1560]

So I always cook my own black beans put in the freezer, and use them as needed. I’m wondering about doing your process with my cooked beans, put in my blender with your spices and into the oven to cook. What do you think, would it work. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@megbrown825]

Hi Can make this tofu with canned organic tofu? Your channel is so inspiring!

[@rowenaanderson3739]

Thanks for making this video for us. I hope you have a great week.

[@VanillaAttila]

Looks great, its just so much time to make. Is there a faster way to cook them without burning them? Standing whisking them for 15 mins is just not feasible for one element of a single meal

[@gwenritch]

Thanks for the share. Looks interesting and will have to try it for sure!

[@steamyvegan]

Looks delicious. Will totally have to try this out. Thanks!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@kaleyprice-kaleikini337]

Wow I appreciate your dedication! A lot of work went into this video. Great job!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you for taking notice! I do take pride in my work. 😊

[@queenadrena]

What a clever idea! I'm definitely going to try this

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy!

[@agadooska]

I will definitely try it, thank you 💚. It would be interesting to know which flavours did not work for you.

[@joanndehnert2933]

I made sietan. It was dead easy and delicious. You should make some

[@jibpedersen]

Wow, I am going to have so much fun making this. Looks delicious! Thanks so much.

[@TrulyTara86]

Definitely trying this !

[@pac1811]

Looks good! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@li82li]

great idea! def going to give it a try!:)

[@cindysilver3988]

Oh yum. Can’t wait to try this!

[@chandra0x]

That's amazing recipe for Vegan people that have allergies for soy , omg thanks for sharing this to everyone 🙏 hope all brothers and sisters out there be vegan ASAP

[@howiewill]

Looks good! It came out better than mine but I don’t measure anything. So that’s probably why

[@healthy_palace]

Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

[@andrew_schaeffer]

Thx! I made the lentil tofu and it was pretty good. Not quite as firm as extra firm tofu - not great for throwing straight into a stirfry imo - but could likely crisp up if airfried or baked.

[@vegan_winegoddess1400]

This looks so good!!🤩

[@jeanmanduca4397]

Wow! Can’t wait to try! Just bought new ebook- excited about! Curious where you got small spice jar I saw in an older video- I didn’t see them in your store. They were a small size w/ round base. Thanks for all you do!! I first found your channel looking for sauces. So goooood!

[@angeladaniel209]

Looks good

[@adriaanmorosan]

This is definitely something I’ll try, thanks!

[@markedwards7109]

Great video Simnett, I guess this would work with other beans? I got Mung beans I need to cook.

[@Tippy150]

🍽️ This tofu looks so interesting to me. The tofu looks very good and tasty. Can you use canned beans for this type of tofu? 🤔

[@lindajones3356]

🤯🤯🤯 Derek! which do you prefer? The chickpea, lentils or black bean?

[@mjking6162]

I bought a block of Indian spiced tofu, so Indian spices would be great to flavor. Italian spices.

[@krizzleschizzle8500]

Amazing!! Can’t wait to try it!

[@itssammierose]

Could you just blend already cooked beans and pour into the pan? Or is the magic the blend before cooking them?

[@owl6218]

it is a jelly, actually, which has the fiber along with it. this bean has quite a bit of starch, so it will not curdle well, so better to cook the whole batter and get a jelly. i think this i s what they call burmese tofu

[@Vegan4Life24-7]

Can we freeze this once it’s done? Made the 2 recipes and they are delicious!!!! Thank you! 😊

[@rosalbaleon5790]

I really really appreciate this! I love your chanel a lot ❤

[@megbrown825]

If so, how? Thank you much! Love your videos!!!

[@neffamily]

Amazing sharing could we steam it for cooking

[@caitlin4663]

Which is your favorite version? I tried the red lentil one. Was yummy! 😊

[@AQ93_95]

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing! You are appreciated!

[@megbrown825]

Hi Derrick I bought dry beans today because of your video Thank you! But can I also use canned, organic beans?

[@minkademko2335]

Brilliant ❤️🙂
