Two EASY Ways to Make Chickpea Tofu

[@Chocopie0078]

Thank you for bringing the burmese chickpea tofu. My favourite tofu. We also eat this chickpea tofu as salad called' chickpea tofu salad' with garlic, a bit soy sauce, cilantro and a bit lime or tamarind juice 🤤

[@justblase5270]

I love both recipes, but I like the second one even more because you’re not wasting anything. Excellent job.

[@MiloGipsyAura]

You can make falafel balls from leftovers if straining🤷🏻‍♀️

[@gestione_dello_stress]

In north west Italy, where I live, it’s traditional to make “ panissa “ with chickpea flour and water, only it takes quite a long time to make. The traditional way to eat it is cut in short slices and deep fried - super yummy. I chop it and eat it in salads, and it has the same consistency as you tofu from legumes

[@brigittebilodeau8579]

I made the easy one blended the turmeric and salt in the blender , my mixture was very creamy it cooked roughly 6 minutes . I am baking a few cubes for lunch and I will add it to my salad , I will report back . It looks very nice it’s perfectly set , it’s a big saving to make your own and a quick recipe to make at anytime . Thank you

[@CitiesForTheFuture2030]

Tx for this recipe. The soaking water has probiotics in it & can be used to make cheese & yoghurt. The initial soaking water is also good for plants.

[@Nathouuuutheone]

By the way, lentils work perfectly fine for the second method. I have done it twice recently with good results

[@timbott22]

I am thrilled to learn there’s a soya bean alternative to tofu. Thanks for this and all the information and effort you’re putting into these and your Instagram posts. What an adventure

[@BakingHermann]

Especially the second version, because you’re using all of the chickpeas 👏

[@edwardward4347]

if you like soya bean alternative tofu's than you mite like the channel 'Mary's Test Kitchen' she has a playlist called "will it tofu" where she tris to make tofu out of deferent legumes and seeds

Perfect and inteligent explanation of difference between chinese and birmanese tofu, first made of soy bean and second from chick peas. Tks.

[@garythomas738]

Love it!! My fave way is something called kalentika. Then while it’s still warm, add it to toasted bread with harissa. 🤤

[@mac5794]

Isn't it the same as hummus ?

[@garythomas738]

@@mac5794 It's so much better!! All the recipes are basically the same. Here's one from near the top of the search results. I can highly recommend making it! Even better if your local grocer has harissa paste. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jImtfJWLe51giassi=uhVyCd90Uf4XmhV1

[@emilybuttermore]

First recipe of yours I've actually made, it turned out pretty good , the second no waste version, and I used a chunk of turmeric root I had on hand.

[@BakingHermann]

Awesome!! It’s so versatile 👏 a fun way to experiment with different flavours to match the tofu to different cuisines

[@thepositronicman7812]

What was the texture like? I made it and it firmed up ok but when you bite into it it's texture was like bean paste.

[@myatthirikyaw3112]

Yes...! I was confusing why most of people called both of them Tofu but We Burmese called this as Tofu and for chinses Tofu, we called them "Pal Pyar". Now, I understand the different between them is just because of ingredients.

[@Angie_Secret_Squirrel]

Gave this a go yesterday, I was worried it was not going to turn out well because it looked very crumbly in texture, but, it was absolutely lovely!! I rolled the cubes around in some cornflour and then shallow fried, had them with flavoured rice and some Chinese curry sauce, crunchy little tasty cubes of wonder ❤

[@patricetaylor814]

This recipe was delicious. I mixed in it a bbq rub and tossed over it some cornstarch prior to deep frying. Thanks

Congrats on your first YT video!! Excited to try this, especially version #2 without any waste (and more fiber). Would love to see simple recipes that don't use that many ingredients.

Or a series on no or low heat foods to cook during summer.

[@kiwifeijoa]

Nice to see both styles of tofu here, both look yum. Have you listened to chickpeas as they soak? After a while they'll start making little crackle sounds as they expand, it's fun to hear the little pop sounds.

[@BakingHermann]

Didn’t know that 🤯

[@DivljoYT]

First time when I soaked them it made me rattled - wtf is going on in my kitchen?!? I can't see anything that is cracking but something is happening! After some time I located the culprit hahahhah And second time also it startled me but I remembered soon enough that chickpeas are doing it!

Trying the second recipe and can't wait to taste it! Seems more like Polenta than Tofu though.

It’s Burmese Tofu, very similar to the consistency of Panelle in Italy for example, which is not too far from polenta. Let me know your thoughts 👏

I'd love to see if this works with Hopniss/groundnut, I'd have to learn how long they need to cook though. And my plants didn't get pollinated this year so we didn't get any beans. Will plant some wildflowers that bloom at the same time next time.

[@lolalola2592]

I undercooked the second version because it was too soft inside. I could not throw it away so I decided to bake it at low-medium temperature and it worked too

[@huyvlam]

I thought with the first method, you have to let the drained liquid sit for at least 2 hours and skim off the clear liquid then cook only the puree. BTW, it's called Shan tofu in Burma because it originates there.

[@sfr2107]

So the starches settle to the bottom? I've only seen a video with that step once, thanks for the reminder. Now I kinda wanna try all 3 ways to compare them.

Vietnamese monks would prepare regular tofu as lightly pan fried until crispy on all sides. Then, roasted some minced lemon grass, red chili lightly seasoned then top the tofu - serve over white rice. Poor man meal - super delicious. I am sure you could try that with legumes tofu.

That sounds wonderful!

Nice! Thanks for sharing

[@manz_squick]

This recipes rocks

[@daughterofgod777]

I like how your lentil video explains the need to cook beans longer to remove the anti-nutrients but not so much with lentils. My concern is that chickpeas should be cooked longer then what’s done here to really remove those properties. What if we put a cup or so more water when adding it to the pot? It will take longer to thicken because the water needs to evaporate, but wouldn’t that help destroy more anti-nutrients?

[@BakingHermann]

Absolutely, you can do that to be on the safe side. But I never had any issues with this method here

[@BarneyCarroll]

I don’t think this should be a problem. Chickpea falafel operate on a coarser grind from soaked, have less direct heat exposure, and cook for approximately 4 minutes total. My intuition is that Hermanns method is more robust for this concern because the pulses are ground to a paste where the particulates are permeated by heat almost instantly, unlike whole pulses.

[@sreyanshimajumdar9456]

This recipe is made with channa dal in India with some spices and later the cubes are cooked in a curry

[@ishtar990]

HELP: I am in love with this idea especially using the various types of legumes. But now I am curious if you make tofu this way can it also be crumbled down as well to use as scrambled eggs or as a type of mince etc?? I know in most cases it looks firm and a rubber type texture. But now I am needing to know flexibility to use it in mince recipes.

[@bellenesatan]

This Burmese tofu is not made by pressing curds; therefore it doesn't have the fracture lines where the curds fused together, and it cannot crumble in a natural way. You can try grating it? Otherwise, try a chinese-style chickpea tofu technique. (Mary's Test Kitchen on KZbin has great recipes for this, using different beans and seeds.)

It's very similar actually. Apart from the added ingredients for flavour, the only real difference is that panelle is deep-fried. Both are also very similar to Panisse. If you cut the tofu into sticks and deep-fry it, that's what you'd get ;)
