Burmese-style tofu made from Calypso beans.

"Don't use tinned beans, they're pre-cooked and lack some of the proteins to firm up". Fun fact, the proteins go into the liquid that surrounds the beans. You can beat the liquid into a merengue, it's basically cheap aquafaba. I'm gonna try to make vegan chiffon cake out of it soon.

[@alexwood3459]

It's not cheap aquafaba... it is aquafaba. Didn't know you could buy or make aquafaba any other way. When it's properties were first noticed/popularised it was from canned beans.

[@ArcticFox-vn6vj]

you do have to be careful with that as some studies have shown it can be quite toxic and dangerous.

[@-Brige-]

​​@@ArcticFox-vn6vj please link these studies.

[@ArcticFox-vn6vj]

​@@-Brige- [1] Yue He, Jianheng Shen, Venkatesh Meda, Martin J.T. Reaney, Composition and properties of ethanol-precipitated chickpea aquafaba, Food Hydrocolloids, Volume 150, 2024, 109723, ISSN 0268-005X, Of particular note with this source is table two, summarising the findings of the study, specifically the saponin content is the main concern as it can cause gut health issues and harm red blood cells. The issue is saponin is produced by plants as a pesticide and while it wont kill people in the quantities seen in aquafaba it is still toxic to people. It is also literally what makes aquafaba foam the way it does so without the saponin being in a relatively high concentration you wouldnt be able to use it as people do. TLDR: aquafaba contains relatively high levels of saponin, a chemical produced by plants as a pesticide and is acutely toxic to humans too.

[@MaribelleDib]

You can use aquafaba for a yummy vegan mayo simply mix it with oil in a narrow recipient with a hand mixer

Underrated video, keep up the great work!

Just made Tofu from green lentils !!!

[@RayAnnetteP]

I'm thinking that would be good.😊

[@supremeleaderr]

Can we eat it raw?

[@gcc2313]

​@@supremeleaderrif theyve been cooked then its not raw. It has to be cooked to be able to form its shape. If you mean raw as in not friend. Yes At the end of the process it's edible. But the frying steps improves flavour.

[@supremeleaderr]

@@gcc2313 oh thanks for the info 🤍

[@BlueCaesar13]

What did it taste like?

[@factsyoudidnotknow2899]

Best recipe no wastage limited ingredients n efforts

[@borntodoit8744]

Cheaper than store bought tofu

[@lise7538]

Very nice but I recommend watching Mary's Test Kitchen and her série if "Will it tofu". She makes tofu out of pretty much everything, she uses the "traditional " way (she cuddles the milk instead of making it thicken like him). It doesn't work every time but it's actual tofu

[@Rei_Kagami]

as a burmese person myself its actually one of those dishes ive gotten tire of. Because i ate it so much Xd

[@henryaung596]

Nah nothing beats that shan noodle shop fried tofus in the morning with a green tea. That tamarind sauce that goes with it as well... Mmm!

[@leojackson8843]

Mann hearing u say that got me craving for a warm tofu Nway with extra fried tofu in it at 2am

[@papaji2068]

That's the worst part of all the favourite dishes 😂😂

[@tucsonrides4851]

More of a starch jelly, tofu process curdles proteins like milk making but good recipe, thx

[@BakingHermann]

True, this is similar to ‘Burmese tofu’

[@tucsonrides4851]

@@BakingHermann i didnt even know that was a thing until this vid so thanks for the info! koreans and japanese make something similar with acorns that is delicious!

[@melissasibbald4617]

​@@धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय108 More nutrition to eat the beans. It's a whole food.👍

[@-Brige-]

​@@धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय108because you cannot slice beans to put into a sandwich, just to name one reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@CombatHobo]

​@@-Brige- you can put whole beans on bread if you really want,or cook beans,turn them to paste and spread on toast

[@laviniaasofiei9054]

How I never thought of cooking like this before 😋😉

[@supernova13423]

You will soon be blessed by the KZbin algorithm my friend. Absolutely love your work 😍

[@gjs1893]

You can just use chickpea flour. 1 cup flour, 3 cups water. Heat till thick, then rest.

[@jessed2717]

Hear me out, peanut tofu

[@C.L.Hinton]

Any legume should work. So, yes, try it!

[@Dojan5]

“Mary’s Test Kitchen” here on KZbin has actually tried this. She’s got a series where she tries to make tofu out of basically everything. It’s really cool.

[@C.L.Hinton]

@@Dojan5 I love her tofu experimentation series. Great recommendation!

[@benman1577]

That’s exactly what I thought!

Love the "wunderbar" (!) 😂at the end

[@xPandamon]

That is, in fact, not tofu. A type of jelly at best.

[@myatphone9616]

As A Burmese Person myself I Felt that brother You Made that Completely right But with alot of extra steps I must says

[@myatphone9616]

But this looks nice

[@AWest-ns3dl]

Great recipe! I baked my red lentil tofu. This worked really well.

[@maxharano940]

Omg this is so creative !

[@Brendanvideos]

I'm not vegan and I don't like tofu but this looks good honestly! I'd love to try the chickpea one!

[@n_art_cissist]

Tofu for the soy-intolerant like myself! I have a pretty bad intolerance/allergy to soy but i love tofu

[@pyaeyanaung]

Did you say Burmese style tofu? If it is, that would be first time I would ever see any KZbinr talk about Burmese food.

[@pinkgangsta6157]

This is more like dessert than tofu. There are so many tradisional dessert like this. Interesting.

[@BakingHermann]

Oh yes, you could totally sweeten it!

[@peipei4082]

My tofu doesnt firm up. Its very mushy after 1 nite of chilling. Understand its not gonna be super firm but its not firm until it breaks apart when removed from mould

[@doveheydon2906]

Thanks for the recipe 😋

[@yoyoyiggityyo17]

I recommend lupin beans or lupin flour. Also Tofu has to be fermented

[@gjs1893]

Not burmese tofu. Separate kind of food

[@lisalastname541]

You can make falafel with the leftover ground beans also! Just add herbs, onions, garlic, and a pinch of baking powder. Scoop and fry! ❤

[@RayMak]

So fresh and so good

[@katiechurch5175]

I don’t think it would be called tofu since this specifically refers to a soybean curd. It would be a curd of any of the other lagoons. They might have a name though. Not sure I’ll have to look it up.

[@jefgir1097]

I was thinking the same thing but don't want to play the "terminology gatekeeper" especially because us vegans usually are the victms of terminology gatekeepers when we use terms like "vegan sausage".

[@luzchykk]

Wow quiero probar esto 😯😍😍

[@dreamervanroom]

what if you press the tofu? will it get firm?

[@Dojan5]

Okay but this isn’t tofu. This is more a bean patty. Tofu is made by curdling the proteins and then pressing that into a cake. The milk isn’t supposed to thicken, it’s supposed to separate into curds and whey. The fact that it thickens means that you’ve included too much starch. I highly recommend “Mary’s Test Kitchen” - she has a series where she experiments and makes tofu out of various things.

[@nightshadedapple]

"Keep in mind that this is a Burmese-style tofu". This is one way to make the Burmese style.

[@shikhar1267]

Mundaba

[@miah7593]

What does MUNDABAA mean?

[@Synochra]

are these good as a protein source?

[@tinselstar]

can you add dry spices in the making of the block or will it interfere with the setting?

[@krysab6125]

Burmese tofu traditionally has turmeric added, and it works fine. Go for it!

[@joshuaweisel2998]

Is it possible to add rice too these recipes for a complete protein?

[@EtheriumSky]

Umm doesnt the 'milk' have to curdle for making tofu? This recipe doesnt seem right...

[@sharyssaofficial]

Do u need to Cook the beans

[@BakingHermann]

Please follow the recipe via this link: bakinghermann.com/all-recipes/any-legume-tofu?rq=any%20legume%20tofu Legumes, especially many beans, should not be consumed raw. So you'll either need to strain it like in the video to remove the larger raw particles or cook the liquid for far longer (20 min) by adding water to it.

[@shijoejoseph2011]

Cutie McTofu Patootie! 🙈❤️

[@hanhtooaung1618]

Very greatful that u mentioned our country, brother ✌️carry on brother

[@bennaambo2716]

This is not Tofu. Tofu is the name of The products made from Soy Milk/Beans

I have SO MANY black beans for this!!

[@sugg-oibanana4860]

The "aight"s sent me every time lol

[@shivprabhu9789]

Munna bhai 😅😅😅

[@Dylan_Otto]

Hold on I thought tofu specifically means the solids separated from the liquid by means of a curdling agent, either an enzyme, an acid or a salt. I'm not saying it's bad; in fact it looks delicious, but isn't this just a bean cake?

[@NcowAloverZI]

This guy always gets semantic comments, I mean it’s just parlance it’s not a big deal what it’s called as long as you know what’s being referenced and the word used is quick and easy to say. Also he gets a lot of, “this is actually something else in my culture,” it’s like we get it, but at the end of the day it’s just ingredients put together which anyone could figure out with some investigation. Also a lot of anti-German comments

[@panosmarkopoulos3326]

So, two questions : 1) Could you use a mocajete or a similar tool to make the legume a mush of the ideal texture or should I straight up use a blender. 2) In another video of yours you show the process of making the legumes sprout and if I am not mistaken one of the benefits you said was easier digestion. In that case could I use sprouted legumes for tofu, and if yes how many of the extra properties of the sprouts would be existent in the tofu product

[@Givingawayfreehugs]

You can also make veggie patties or fritters with the pulp

[@raghavmishra6342]

I like his content but u know extracting milk is not an abuse to animal and i am vegetarian so i support u but just use milk and make cottage cheese . But if you are fixated on thinking extracting milk is animal abuse i have to tell you its not its like cow is a holy animal in india so milk is a blessing from cows and also its not nonveg cause its a food stuff for baby cows and it has no living signs in it like eggs. I hate nonveg people they have a bland taste veg has more taste right?

[@GittanjaliCKalro]

can i just eat it as is Hermann? Any other cooking process besides shallow frying?

[@evanjalinkennady1721]

Thank you for introducing many veg recipes finally trying new veg recipes

[@griffinina]

That is not the texture of tofu, be it the Japanese tofu or the Asian bean curd. That is the texture of Singaporean Carrot Cake.

[@RachaelHendricksonLewis]

So simple, just tried it. Thank you!

[@raphmade]

Did yoi say something about cooking? Or are the beans just soaked in water over night?

[@ross6753]

It looks delicious, but it's not tofu, not really. Got to be extremely healthy though

[@spider1g5]

Quick question on the pulp, why not put everything into the pot and cook to thicken? Anything to reduce extra dishes being used is a must for me.

[@rectanglegirlsoftheworld8449]

You definitely can just throw everything in the pot without straining, that's how I do mine. The consistency though is not as creamy and homogeneous, it's pretty chunky but makes for a great panela alternative to put on tacos and tostadas

[@disponydof]

Mine kinda dissolves in the pan, it softens again and even though I use a non-stick pan it sticks to it. Any idea what to do different?

[@user-rm1zj6lg4j]

Is there any way I could make this recipe if I don't have a blender?

[@Grimmance]

Just use the pulp to make your own miso paste, you already made a tofu, may as well go the other 50%

[@pushpanjalichowdhary4580]

Tofu is made from Soybeans, not from Chickpeas 😂😂 Hummus is made from Chickpeas...... N tofu is made from Soybean.

[@MEMEOMG]

... It's Vietnamese tofu. It's just a different type of tofu. It's still tofu

Would peanuts work too? Or is there too much oil?

Ah so it was cuz i used canned. It did not set at all and was like a puree

CAN IT BE MADE IN Counter top Slow cooking machine... Slowcooker croc-pot

And do you know? that You can make hummus out of any bean.

[@Arya_Adarsh]

What if you don't strain it and cook the entire thing?

Thats a lot of work for 4.50$ at a grocery store 😂

How much protein in this tofu per 100g?

[@anna_kou]

This technique looks interesting! Does it absorb flavours like soy tofu if let's say we braise it in sauce?

[@susanp102]

I think u can add spices b/4 cooking. I'm going to try some with onion and garlic powder.

[@xPandamon]

No, because it isn't tofu

What about peanuts their a Legume

[@amankaur7270]

Do we really need to stain ???

[@BakingHermann]

Yes, especially with beans! Raw beans are not safe to consume and if you don't strain them, you risk consuming raw particles. Please follow the recipe here for more details: bakinghermann.com/all-recipes/any-legume-tofu?rq=tofu :)
