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
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
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
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
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 ❤
@@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. ruclips.net/video/VXJKbUF8-SI/видео.htmlsi=uhVyCd90Uf4XmhV1
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.
Welcome to RUclips, a much more convenient medium than Facebook for me. I like both recipes and particularly like how you explain why chickpea is a better crop than soyabean.
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.
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!
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.
I think this has changed how is see all legumes. The potential is endless really. Add a sauce and vegetables and you've got a fantastic meal that omits meat and easy to digest. Thank you for this.
Hodmedods 👍 good job giving them the airtime. When i was living in the UK used to get kilos of all my pulses and seeds and flour from them. They are the best.
Excellent I found the chickpea version . This is very interesting. It would be compatible with some middle eastern & Mediterranean flavors too. Even Mexican.
I made the yogurt 1st, then made the tofu. I put the pulp into the 2nd way for tofu is setting up now. I think it comes out good the yogurt will be very tawny as I used the water, store bought yogurt and some active cultures that I've has in the freezer just for making yogurt.
Wonderful! How about trying jingalov hatz from Artsakh? It's a very basic flatbread stuffed with a mix of greens and herbs, so delicious and natively vegan. 😄
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.
I really love your recipes, my husband is a vegan and i am glad i am able to cook him yummy vegan food.I have one question can we pressycook the chikpea for a softer paste and then heat it up
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.
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 RUclips has great recipes for this, using different beans and seeds.)
Certainly making this and replacing this with paneer in dishes like palak paneeer! 😋 Wunderbar - mast or shandar in colloquial Hindi or adbhut in traditional Hindi
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?
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.
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
Is it possible to make the quick tofu from purchased hummus flour? Maybe soak it for an hour or two before cooking? And if so, what is the ratio between the flour and the water?
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.
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 ;)
@@BakingHermann Ah thanks! I've read that Panisse also has a load of butter in it too. I know you're not the biggest fan of plant butter, but I definitely need to try that out haha.
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.
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.
I love both recipes, but I like the second one even more because you’re not wasting anything. Excellent job.
You can make falafel balls from leftovers if straining🤷🏻♀️

How did it turn out?
So so yummy they are my new favorite @@rawlr9066
Please share update
@@rawlr9066I quadrupled the recipe for a 9 x 13 dish and it came out amazingly!
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.
By the way, lentils work perfectly fine for the second method. I have done it twice recently with good results
Glad to see you on RUclips!
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
Especially the second version, because you’re using all of the chickpeas 👏

Thank you for making this long format, and above all for keeping it simple.
Cheers from Canada!
Love it!!
My fave way is something called kalentika. Then while it’s still warm, add it to toasted bread with harissa. 🤤
Isn't it the same as hummus ?

U karatika the Algerian sandwich
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.
Awesome!! It’s so versatile 👏 a fun way to experiment with different flavours to match the tofu to different cuisines
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.
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.
Perfect and inteligent explanation of difference between chinese and birmanese tofu, first made of soy bean and second from chick peas. Tks.
This recipe was delicious. I mixed in it a bbq rub and tossed over it some cornstarch prior to deep frying. Thanks
Happy you’re on RUclips, especially to be able to see more detailed recipes ( and maybe more of your recent trip to Sicily and Tuscany?).
Absolutely, I'll upload all of my Sicily & Tuscany episodes here 😊
Yes I was thinking about the same! 😊

GENIUS!
I really love your recipes, my husband is a vegan and i am glad i am able to cook him yummy vegan food.I have one question can we pressycook the chikpea for a softer paste and then heat it up
I tried the no waste method and really loved it!
Can it be made with chickpea flour too?
Absolutely, that’s actually how it’s traditionally done in Myanmar for ‘Burmese Tofu’. Panisse in France and panelle in Italy are also similar!
@@BakingHermann Do you happen to know how much flour to water to make it? Thank you!
@@sn232 you can follow this recipe for the tofu: bakinghermann.com/all-recipes/burmese-tofu-and-tohu-thoke-salad?rq=Tohu
@@BakingHermann Thank you!
Really nice video! Why can you season the unfiltered tofu version however you want but not the version where you filtered out the pulp?
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 👏
Thanks! How long can it be refrigerated? And is it ok to freeze?
HELP: I am in love with this idea especially using the various types of legumes.

Nice. I wonder if it's possible to make in the microwave...

Do you have a special sauce to go with the chick pea tofu? Thank you for this.
Amazing!
Thank you 🙏
I would very much like to know how well this refrigerates and freezes
They look yummie! Can you refrigerate the chickpea Tofu?
Does the water have to be clear or can you use the water that was drained from the chickpeas?
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
what is the shelf life...........whether to be refrigerated........for using later on
@BakingHermann what is a good substitute for the tumeric? Was it used for the color, help with the texture, or just the desired flavor?
Is it possible to make the quick tofu from purchased hummus flour?
Maybe soak it for an hour or two before cooking?
And if so, what is the ratio between the flour and the water?
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.

Can u use the left over chickpea water when blending the chickpea paste?
Great video. You inspired me to make panelle the other day. How does the texture of that, compare to this chickpea tofu?

I did fresh lead ( or frozen peas ) I would like to see it in your cooking to see how you will make it
How can or should not you season the tofu? can the seasoning tamper with the tofus texture? The law and wisdom of tofu please♥️
What does freezing do to the texture of the tofu? If I use this in a recipe, can I freeze it?
