Easy Chickpea Tofu (Soy Free and DELICIOUS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Who knew chickpea flour could make such good tofu!? Chickpeas are one versatile food. In this video I show you a few variations including a smoked chickpea tofu, an herby one and a sweet cinnamon dessert version.
This is actually a version of Burmese Tofu. It cooks up nice and crispy and is even easier to make than the lentil tofu I shared a few weeks back.

I'm surprised to hear that people were upset about the lentil tofu being called tofu. I'm just happy to have many new ways to enjoy tofu now, just like there are nut milks and vegan meats and cheeses. So let's all relax about what we think things should or should not be called, because we get enough comments like that from non-vegans. I imagine there are some vegans who are allergic to soy who are absolutely thrilled to see this video, too...because eating tasty tofu bites is so damn fun! Many thanks for all of the amazing recipes. My husband and I love them!
Good point! 😊
Yes, I was surprised too. I always thought tofu referred to a process and the consistency of the end product, not only one way from one single item. Like you can make cookies from all kinds of flours and nuts. If at the end, it basically looks like and has a texture like a cookie, then you can call it a cookie if you like. I'm not making fun of anyone, I do understand there is a basic level of respect for something being its own thing and deserving of its own name is where some people are coming from though.
There was a movie....girls name was Tofutti...Overboard with Goldie Hawn....
Not only that. But some of us omnis need to avoid soy due to past cancer issues. As well as those who went thru early puberty like my daughter thanks to soy.
Lentil Tofu is really not Tofu.. those are actually basics and authentic in many parts of the world, with specific names .. I'm not offended but it's not Tofu.... lentil Tofu is like calling tofu Soy Paneer.. Any Indian here will understand my pain 😂😂. I agree with Sandra Long's comment
You’ll never get hate from me for trying new plant based things in a healthy way! ✌️🌱
Beans are just the best.
My Wife lives on the border of Burma and Thailand, so many amazing Vegan dishes. In Chiang Mai the Vegan Burmese places are insanely good and have natural ingredients even my wife can't say in English. If u can ever make it to the J festival in Phuket Thailand, highly recommend it. Oh and all the foods and dishes we have in her village and in the City are from .75 to 2.50!
I am making these for my husband to replace his highly processed fake fried vegan chicken nuggets!!!!! Thank you for this...genius!
Yes we have to keep in mind that not all vegan food is healthy. I'm sure he'll love it and never look back!
I loved the red lentil video because it was a “make your own tofu” recipe, not because it was soy free… for the record. This is great too!
Derek, OMG!!! I made these today and they were so delicious that my (major carnivore) husband requested MORE!!! Thank you so much for your recipes and help!!! I love getting so many ideas from you!
This looks amazing! My mom lives with me and can’t eat soy, so this - and the lentil version - are much appreciated! And who cares what they’re called if they’re delicious? 🤷♀️ 😋
With your reaction to the sweet cinnamon chickpea tofu, I definitely have to try that. Maybe toss it in an oatmeal and fruit bowl for breakfast.
Great idea. I'm definitely going to try this 😊😊😊
Making the savory first. We love chickpea flour pancakes so I'll follow that seasoning-onion, garlic, turmeric, s/p, nutritional yeast and sliced scallions.
Ooh good idea. What can't chickpeas do?!
Best vegan channel out there! Always love being here. (Plus all the adventures, nice editing, beautiful Canada scenery and other fun loving humor with you and your lady). Thank you so much Derek! I loved the red lentil tofu, made some a few days ago. I cooked it in a pan with a little olive oil, but I try to cook without oil or without using added oil, and I thank you for that also. Not easy because cooking anything in oil, makes it taste 10x better lol... to me, and we've been taught to use fats for flavor and non-stick. I can't believe how easy this recipe is lol. Going to make the savory today, but you make that dessert bowl look crazy lol. Grateful for you. 3:33 what was that triple dressing combo? 😍. Peace and love.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. So glad you like the content. Yes, whenever I see people cooking or making stuff with a bunch of oil, I always think 'they're doing it on easy mode', lol. The triple dressing combo was tahini, buffalo sauce and balsamic reduction.
We really have so many choices when vegan! Thanks for these tofu options, they look simple and easy to replicate, delicious, too, especially, cinnamon bun flavour😁👍…
It's amazing isn't it!? I used to think it was going to be limiting but then all of a sudden I'm eating a way bigger variety of foods than when I was omni.
As long as you drop a ton of sauce on it appearantly
@@itiswhatitis141 I don't use sauce. I like to taste my food without covering up the flavors.
@@kathiemott3988 ok? but most plants really dont taste good.
@@itiswhatitis141 I prefer to be able to taste my food. I haven't had any problems with the way any of it tastes. I was taught to put dressings and sauces on everything in the past. Now I am learning the taste and flavors without anything to cover them up. So far I haven't had any problems with how anything tastes and am enjoying my journey.
This just made my 5-year old son's day--he loves tofu and chickpeas!
A 5-year-old loving tofu and chickpeas made my day. Outstanding parent and LO.
Gonna try it for my kids, they love tofu!
I made it with dashi powder, miso paste and dry seaweed it just taste like tuna so delicious!!
I am obsessed with the red lentil tofu from the last video. Seriously eat it almost every day now
If you’re interested in making another version, the brand, Foodies, makes Pumfu (pumpkin seeds). I love it, but it’s very pricey, so if you can figure out an efficient way of making it, I would love it. I can’t have soy, so I’m excited to try this! Thank you!! 😃
I love chickpea tofu! I've been making it for years. Part of the addition is Better Than Bouillon chicken. Then I’ll slice and fry it up with seasoned bread crumbs and make chicken chickpea tofu Parmesan served over pasta.
I made this dessert version and it’s OUTSTANDING! Thank you for such a great idea!!
Carbs are life! Cooking is literally like being in chemistry class. I love it. All matter is a chemical. Science never tastes so good. 😁
Just loving these tofu alternatives. Easy and tasty - can't wait to try the dessert version, we don't eat much dessert. I am thinking cut them a little longer, cook, then dip in dark chocolate, sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts - kind of a play on ladyfingers dipped in nutella.
When I thought I couldn't get anymore exciting ideas...
Gonna try both for sure! I have been experimenting with the lentil version since last week and I am addicted! I make the recipe plain but toss the cubes in spice mixes (bbq, tandoori, greek) and they make the perfect healthy snacks. They also reheat very will in a convection oven. Can't wait to try the chickpea version!
That's great! I know this one is a bit similar but figured it was different enough to share. Thanks for the comment and watching!
Hey Derek, I’ve enjoyed this under the name panelle- an Italian (Sicilian) version made with olive oil and Parmesan . I sub lots of nooch 😂. There’s also a pizza(ish) dish called socca. This one you mix the chickpea water mixture and let it sit, then get a pan super hot in the oven and pour the batter in- i top with artichoke hearts. Both are awesome!
Hi! I've been making socca as an easy and fast weekday breakfast for years. It's absolutely addictive. Sometimes I spice it up with black pepper and either rosemary or oregano. I didn't know about the other one, I'll have to try it out!
This sounds amazing too
Dang, I think I'm going to have to buy an air fryer! Every video I see you using it, makes me want to try out all the foods you make in it. And based on your reaction.. I'm SO wanting to try the sweet cinnamon ones!!!
Put chickpea flour in my shopping cart. These are a must.
I’m shopping my pantry to save money and now I know what I’ll do with the giant bag of chickpea flour I have!! Thanks so much!!
The texture looks even more interesting than tofu🥹🌱 just bought some chickpea flour a few days ago and need some recipes😌🙈 could you try and make a chickpea flour pizza crust, I‘d love that💪🏼 thank you for the amazing, free recipes✨
Toss the cubes in a breading mixture before air frying. I use nutritional yeast and bread crumbs seasoned with a garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. It makes a nice crispy coating when air frying this or the lentil "tofu".
Who could get mad at you?! Your chick pea fries were a big hit. I tried that soak, drain, rinse, blend, strain again, squeeze, rest, ladel, heat, mix, sweat, slave, scoop, press and wait a day, cry, throw away, method. I had high hopes the second try. Those nifty tofu presses are going back from whence they came! I'm with you. Burna, here we come!!! Oh, yeah, did I actually mention the wash up?! How could I forget?! Wash jar, big jar, blender, messy blender, scoop stuff out of sink drain, nut milk bag, starch separation bowl, cast iron heat up dutch oven a 7 pounder, oh and yeah, cheese cloth is still soaking,!!! Phooey!! Big Bronx cheer!!!!
I am up at 1 am and had enough sleep, so I came across your videos and I am trying them now. Sooo cool. Thanks
I added smoked paprika....YUM Thanks so much for this...options are limitless!
In india, in hindi we call it besan ka gatta means chickpea flour cubes.
In India, West Bengal, bengali people make dhoka like this but we do not pour the batter in boiled water. We steam the batter and then cut it in cube and fry it . Also with batter Dhokla (Gujarati dish )can be made. In that you can put some spices and baking soda and then steam it .
Thanks for making this❤
I love the ideas you come up with!
“I’m never eating hummus again.” 😂
I look forward to making the both versions but I’ll make the savory one first. I LOVE salads! 🥗
This could be a great intro food for my coworkers who question my WFPB way of eating.
Thank you!! Looks amazing!
Looks amazing can’t wait. Thanks!🙏🏻
You’ll never get hate mail or txt from me! I’m learning so much from you Derek! Specifically when it comes to tofu ! I’m still learning in how to cook or eat in plant based!
