Black Bean Tofu
1 cup of dry black beans
2 cups of water
1 tsp of onion powder
0.5 tsp of salt
0.5 tsp of pepper
Soak 1 Cup of black beans overnight for at least 10 hours
Strain and rinse
This should give you about 2 cups of soaked black beans
Add to a blender with 2 cups of water and blend until smooth
*If your blender is not strong enough, try a food processor and only add about 1/4 of the water to begin with
Strain through a strainer and add seasoning
Add to a pot and heat on medium until it starts to bubble and thicken, whisking it consistently
Turn down the heat to a low simmer and continue cooking until it is very thick. 12-15 minutes total.
Quickly add it to a glass baking dish and smooth it into the edges.
Let it cool then pop it in the fridge.
It should set up in the fridge in about 1-2 hours
Now cook with it however you would usually use tofu.

I might have to try this. I love me some soy but I probably need to diversify my proteins a bit more. That black color is gorgeous
Yeah its a fun thing to make and the colour is pretty cool!
great in tacos
I made this tonight, a half recipe, and they turned out beautifully. My ninja blender did a great job pulverizing the soaked beans. I was worried that the beans would be too hard but it was fine. I could tell when the black bean mixture was cooked because the batter was pulling away from the bottom of the pan somewhat. Took about 17 minutes on medium heat. I only added garlic powder and salt and pepper because I was all out of onion powder. Very yummy and a nice alternative to tofu. Thanks again!
No coagulation agent? No pressing? I had no idea it could be this simple! Thank you! I just put my first batch in the fridge. So easy!
I mean you might want to press it just to smooth it out. But yeah. Looks like coagulation happens on its own.
Omg thank you for testing this!! I had the exact same thought to try with black beans but I was nervous that the black beans would be too tough to blend for tofu.
Gonna make me some smoky chipotle and garlic black bean tofu for some sweet potato taco bowls 🎉😊
Thanks again!
Oh that sounds amazing! great flavour combo!
This looks delicious! Great that you put the flavouring inside the tofu. Seaweed flavour would be nice too. Definitely going to try this one..
Yes that would definitely give it a nice flavour, plus you can marinade it too, just like tofu so the flavour combos are endless!
Yum! First time I’ve seen this done with black beans - looks delicious! 😋
I agree. This is one of the best discoveries on Earth. This is the only way I have garbanzos and occasionally black beans.
Everyone needs to really he’s the soaking and cooking times. It takes some time and love to make… and I find it gives the best digestion…therefore better assimilation… and it’s taste and texture are fantastic.
Of course with a good salad and intense workouts there are also gains🤣✨❤️Thank you. Sincerely Janet
Thanks Janet! 🙏👊
I wonder if this will work with already cooked beans? Add more water to them and cook again or blend with just enough water to get a paste? Hmm, interesting ideas are floating through my head like preparing old soy beans this way to see if they will tofu. You probably know this, but in case you don't, dried soy beans, have an expiration date and once past about a year they will no longer make tofu! I used to make a lot of tofu (5 lbs. at a time) using Nigari and then suddenly they would no longer clump in the cooking process. There began a massive search to figure WHY?
Thanks for your creative ideas and I'm going to try this technique with some black beans I just cooked yesterday in the iPot!!! I'll let you know if it works.........
I have never seen mock "tofu" made with cooked beans, always with dried beans (even lentils, chickpea tofu, etc) so I don't think it would work quite the same but I'm not sure!
Might be the best channel on youtube 👍
Thanks for the recipe man
Never knew you could do homemade tofu!! Thank you for sharing this and I’m going to try it! 🎉. I just passed on to some vegan family members. I share your site with everybody I can. Can’t wait to try this one!! 😊

So simple and the colour is gorgeous. I'll be giving this a try. Thanks Derek 😊
Awesome idea for easy, delicious meals! Nice to be able to mix up the source of protein like that. Thanks, Derek!
Can't wait to try this recipe! Really appreciate your innovation!
Thanks heaps Derek, for all your top notch content and recipes. Super grateful for what you share, and love yours & Crystal's upbeat energy. Cheers from New Zealand
Wow, never thought about doing something like this. Looks delicious, can't wait to try and make this. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I almost didn't watch, but the way you added your own seasoning to it before forming the cubes sounds amazing. I can't wait to try it myself!
I made your red lentil tofu a few months ago and loved it! So delicious so I’ll def try this too!
Thanks for the share. Looks interesting and will have to try it for sure!
Oh yum. Can’t wait to try this!
Dude, now this is rad! I love tofu and black beans, but love black beans a tad more! Gotta try this! 🤯🤯🤯
Amazing!! Can’t wait to try it!

Very interesting. Will try this. Cheers mate
Black bean tofu that's a great idea. Looks good
What a clever idea! I'm definitely going to try this
Enjoy!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I can’t eat soy, so I greatly appreciate this. Also, I must’ve missed your video about doing the same thing with chickpeas, so I’ll have to go search for that one and give it a try as well. Thank you so much for these recipes Derek!!!
You're welcome! enjoy! The lentil and chickpea recipes are great too :)
Literally going to try this tonight for dinner tomorrow! Thank you this looks so yummy!
Follow up…… the seasonings were on point! This tasted SOOO GOOD! Thank you Derik!!
This takes black beans to a whole new level! 🔥 🖤
Looks delicious. Will totally have to try this out. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!
well this is different.... good way to get more beans in our diet. Will give this a try! thanks for sharing
Soaking my black beans right now. Thank you for this groovy idea!
Me too!
Have been watching you for a while. My first comment. Great videos. Thanks.
Wow! Can’t wait to try! Just bought new ebook- excited about!
Curious where you got small spice jar I saw in an older video- I didn’t see them in your store. They were a small size w/ round base. Thanks for all you do!! I first found your channel looking for sauces. So goooood!
great idea! def going to give it a try!:)
Looks good! 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm excited to try this and bake a black bean tofu burger!!!! :O
Definitely trying this !
What an interesting idea. I'm definately going to make this. Tfs.
You're welcome!
Oh yum! I'm going to try this with Chinese 5-Spice. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh that would be good!
Love this!!!!!! Have you ever made chickpea or other types of home made pasta? Would love to try this.
Super, thanks 🎉❤🎉
Interesant voor mij.
How about using an electric hand-mixer on the lowest setting while simmering the beans on the stove 😉😎. Save yourself some arm workouts for the gym lol. Gonna try that out and let you know.
I love the way this black bean tofu looks😮. So cool.
I liked the chickpea tofu better than red lentil 🙌. And it was easier to make because i just bought chickpea flour😅.
But both are great.
Thank you Derek. Always coming through with great recipes. Best Vegan channel Ever !
Looks yummy 😋
liquid smoke, blackstrap molasses, cumin, onion powder, and tomato paste in that blitzed goop would be fantastic for a bbq themed starchy bean tofu
If so, how?
Thank you much!
Love your videos!!!
Looks good
Awesome
I'm grateful for the valuable content in today's video. Had a good time watching and will return for more soon.
Nice one
Can we freeze this once it’s done? Made the 2 recipes and they are delicious!!!! Thank you! 😊
Taco seasoning is genius
Brilliant ❤️🙂
Aaaahhhh. So excited to try this. Less fat that regular tofu, too.
- EXCELLENT -
I love tofu, Mash it and mix it with egg and make an omelette or scramble egg, deep fry it with a lot of oil so inside become hollow the cut the tofu flip it inside out then fill it with mixed fish past and put in the refrigerator for 3 then deep fry it once again it taste amazing many things you can do with it
Awesome, thanks! Going to make it now with some black beluga lentils.🎉
I added coca, sweater & coffee, yummy desert
Thanks you for the recipe!! I will try to add some lemon and carrot in to this and cook it with spinach.
Oh interesting!
You can make black bean puffs, how fun!
Hi there Derek, I really love this recipe. I've been watching a lot of your videos and recipes and love them. What are your thoughts on plant anti nutrients? I have some trouble with legumes and I see a lot of people going keto or avoiding plant foods because of digestion issues. What do you think about this in general? Why is there such a divide?
thats craycray
Great video Simnett, I guess this would work with other beans? I got Mung beans I need to cook.
Great
thank you so much. I am exploring vegan and diy options to have a better diet
Hi 👋 very interesting. Who would have thought. Bean tofu😊
Great recipe and tofu twist. I’ll try and post the result 😅
I look forward to seeing it!
Nice!
Thanks!
A smart way to have tofu.. helpful to me 'cause it's kind of hard to find tofu here, and if you find it it's usually very expensive... I'm gonna try making my own tofu. 💪
Thank you for sharing. I've been supporting a small business by ordering bean and lentil tofu. They may lose a customer. You have demonstrated how easy the process is, I can make my own. I wonder if I can use protein powder to increase the protein percentage?
I will definitely try it, thank you 💚. It would be interesting to know which flavours did not work for you.
I made sietan. It was dead easy and delicious. You should make some
made it today ❤ how long do you put it in the air frier?
In Central America we eat black refried beans all time. I am wondering if I can use your technique when they are already cooked and then freeze them. We fried chopped onion and garlic and then we added to beans. It taste delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe. ❤
Thx! I made the lentil tofu and it was pretty good. Not quite as firm as extra firm tofu - not great for throwing straight into a stirfry imo - but could likely crisp up if airfried or baked.
you are becoming a tofu master
Hi
Can make this tofu with canned organic tofu?
Your channel is so inspiring!
Looks amazing! Well timed too because the word on the street is that there is a tofu/soy shortage coming.
So I always cook my own black beans put in the freezer, and use them as needed. I’m wondering about doing your process with my cooked beans, put in my blender with your spices and into the oven to cook. What do you think, would it work. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Hi Derrick
I bought dry beans today because of your video
Thank you!
But can I also use canned, organic beans?
How long did you blend for Derek? I have a high speed blender as well and I did about 90 seconds and I think it started to thicken so I had a hard time straining… ended up putting it in a nut milk bag. Anyhow, looking forward to tasting it tomorrow as well as trying the chickpea and red lentil versions. Thanks for all the awesome ideas 😊
🔥🔥
Looks quite simple! Does the recipe also work with other types of beans?
🤯🤯🤯 Derek! which do you prefer? The chickpea, lentils or black bean?
That is so cool.
Would Kidney beans be dangerous to use because they need to be cooked for longer? 🧐
Thank you for the video. 😊
Thank you for your tofu recipes. So easy, I even made two batches of lentil tofu. It freezer and thawed still good to use.
Do you have a soy tofu recipe?
