Two EASY Ways to Make Chickpea Tofu

Did you know that you can make tofu out of chickpeas? This is not the traditional type of Chinese tofu, which is made by curdling soy milk and pressing the curds into a firm block. Instead, it is similar to Burmese tofu, a common dish from the Shan minority in Burma (Myanmar) that is traditionally made with flour from split yellow lentils or chickpeas and therefore naturally soy-free.

We'll use dried chickpeas to make this Burmese-style tofu in two different ways. The first one involves straining the tofu for a more delicate texture, the second one is a little bit quicker and you can flavour it any way you like.

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

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 🤤

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

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

Thank you for making this long format, and above all for keeping it simple.
Cheers from Canada!

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

[tomaskoubek]

This is briliant!!! Especially the second version! Thank you so very much for sharing this. You have made my day <3

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

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.

Loved the second way of making chickpea tofu 😍Thank you!

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

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. Also interested in seeing your take on Korean banchan, fermentations, pasteis de nata, pizza dough using food processor, vegan cheese, ramen noodles?? Or a series on no or low heat foods to cook during summer.

How did I not come across your channel before? The recipes are amazing, wirklich wunderbar! 😃😋

[patricetaylor]

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

[jayvos]
