    Can Chickpeas make HIGH PROTEIN tofu? Chickpeas are one of the most frequently consumed legumes worldwide so it's not surprising that chickpeas are the number 1 most requested ingredient for my "Will It Tofu" series. However, I've been putting it off...Will Chickpea Tofu?
    There are lots of videos for HIGH CARB chickpea tofu using whole chickpeas or chickpea flour (like my own take on Burmese Tofu: • How To Make Burmese To... ). But can we make a viable soy-free tofu alternative that's low carb, HIGH PROTEIN and is as versatile as regular tofu?
    In this episode of #WillItTofu, we'll find out
    - Why I've been putting this off,
    - Will chickpeas make tofu?
    - If so, is chickpea tofu difficult or easy to make?
    - what kind of texture do we get from chickpea tofu? Soft or firm? Crumbly or bouncy?
    - does chickpea tofu it taste good?
    - is chickpea WORTH trying to tofu?
    - how is this style of chickpea tofu different from other recipes?
    - how to cook this "chickpeafu"?
    I'll answer all these questions and more!
    As in all the tofu-making videos in this series, our aim is to create a close alternative to the traditional soy-based tofu. It's low carb and high protein and made with the traditional tofu-making method. That is, with pressing coagulated high protein curds as opposed to the high carb, lower protein whole ingredient tofu like Burmese Tofu which is cooked in a similar way to polenta).
    If you ARE interested in high carb whole chickpea tofu, check it out here: • How To Make Burmese To...

    Hi, vegetarian Levantine Arab here. Mixing the starch back into the pulp, and using it to make falafel is a great way to use up the byproduct of chickpea tofu, and it makes for some of the best falafel I've ever had. Moreover, if you feel like cutting corners, boiling and reducing the blended-up chickpeas will make a gelatinous Burmese tofu-like product that fries up really, really well. Also, if you add the tiniest pinch of baking soda, and reduce the blended-up chickpeas to a play dough-like consistency, you have the base for true, ultra super smooth Levantine-style hummus.

      Thank you so much for these tips! Question: In the final suggestion you give (for hummus), when you say "reduce the blended-up chickpeas," do you mean the pulp only, or the pulp combined with the liquid (before straining? Are you suggesting it as an alternative to tofu, except it gets blended before cooking the chickpeas instead of after? Hope my question is clear. Thanks again.

    Hi, Mary! Love your content, especially your will it tofu series. I'm not sure if i'm the first that brought here this idea, but judging by the amount of different nuts, seeds and legumes you've already used for this purpose, i could not but wonder how this series will progress in the future. So what i've tought about is maybe creating a parallel "will it butter" series, where you test if you can make nut or seed butter from various sources, especially the uncommon types(poppy, apricot, melon, chestnut for example) and also show the viewers where they can be used in cooking. Sendig much love❤

    It's not a surprise the chickpeas foamed up like egg whites. Aquafaba is an amazing egg substitute for vegans and people with allergies because the proteins in chickpea juice behave like those in egg whites. You can even make meringues out of chickpea juice!

    • @marystestkitchen
      @marystestkitchen  10 месяцев назад +15

      Aquafaba doesn't behave quite like that though! It deflates easily and doesn't keep its shape without stabilizers. The original group had it tested and it's mostly starch.

  • @deoxyplasmic
    @deoxyplasmic 10 месяцев назад +5

    As someone who's moderately soy intolerant, I was very pleased to see this! This "episode" was especially enjoyable to watch since you achieved success where you hadn't before, and that chick peas are so versatile as a plant based ingredient (even if I'm not vegan 🤫) . Aquafaba (uncooked chick pea water) is a great egg white substitute (if you're not sensitive to it) and I'm so glad there's chick pea miso too. Being able to moderate my starch intake is a fun plus as well, not to mention how this tofu holds its shape when boiled. And of course, your skillful editing, thorough exploration, and fun personality brought it all together. Yay!

    14:48 I looked at dried chickpea prices while I was getting groceries today. They were $1.38 per pound at Wal-Mart in St. Louis, Missouri, so, given the same yield as this video, much closer in cost to the lowest firm tofu here at 52¢ per 100g. Clearly, the price of dried chickpeas is wildly variable right now.

I did my research (there's a lot of resources for this particular product) and even reached out to them about how much of the ingredients are in their superfoods blend but they were not forthcoming and declined to disclose, which made me think that they were not included in meaningful amounts, and for the cost, I wanted to find something to replace my multi, but because they also do not include iron or vit D I opted against it.

      @marystestkitchen ty! But definitely that essential oil is necessary if you use it for dry shampoo... if it's in your hair for like 2 days it definitely smells a little foody... if it's in your hair for just like a day it's hard to notice anything

    if you feel like part 2 it would be interesting to know if you can get more with a coagulant, both before during cooking and from the whey afterwards. I guess chickpeas have some protein similar to albumin, like egg whites, their acquafaba is indeed used for egg whites replacement.

      While I think that might be an interesting experiment, personally it would be less helpful for me since I don't want the sugar content contained within the starch going into the whey. I would rather keep it in starch form so it's easy to separate.

    I'm looking for a carb free batter, breading and chips. I am just low carb. That starch separation is da best, and there are plenty of starch eaters round me too. I'd put the fiber back in with the milk because the tofu is what would have no takers. Maybe the starch also will make a good batter. That's 2 batter out of 1 operation. I may actually try a 3 layer separation in a tall container. If the fiber goes to the top, liquid in the middle and starch on the bottom I'll take the top 1/2 and the others can use the bottom 1/2.

The curds are much looser and the whey was much milkier than in your video. But I finally managed to get everything into my tofu press. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Fingers crossed.

I can do starch (or at least I believe that isn’t my issue gluten, animal products and heavy fats are super inflammatory for me) so I think I will be use the starch. I want to waste as little as possible. We just bought a farm so I can grow as many of my own foods as possible but I don’t know how much beans I will be able to grow for myself.

    Question: the leftover water from the curdling step, does it whip up like aqua faba?
    With the long soak it probably did two things - activated some enzymes needed for sprouting and then started to ferment. Both of those change and break down things.
    By the way, the leftover mash can also probably be turned into a form of tempeh, if you want to experiment.
    You can buy the tempeh starter, or there are instructions on using commercial tempeh to create your own starter.
    Love the series!

It's kind of amazing that they even have any tofu in my grocery store (only extra firm...) so this is super amazing. I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow. Chickpeas soaking right now.

    Recently made yellow lentil milk (gram dhal) and this exact same thing happened! Unlike my peanut milk experiment (which had more of a heavy cream/yogurt texture), the yellow lentil milk gave decent-sized curds after cooking. Since I don't have a tofu press, I just used a fine mesh colander to separate the curds from the whey and pressed out as much liquid as I could before storing it in a container.
    Azuki beans is next on my list of experiments. I'm not making tofu per se, I just enjoy drinking high protein plant milk and can't have soy and dairy often.

You put you beans in it and use a hand blender (stick blender?).. to create plant milk. and then you take out the blender and use a lightweight plastic pestle to get every drop of the milk out! It is less force then squeezing and the milk is also emulsified.

      note this is NOT an endorsement** I am on the fence about whether I would recommend this to the average person tbh. But if you MUST have a glass airfryer, this is the best one I've found so far. Others are too small or are the halogen light type which is not really an air fryer.
