Step 1

Rinse the lentils well, then soak them for a minimum of 4 hours to overnight. After soaking, drain the water and rinse the lentils again.

Step 3

Transfer the blended mixture to a pot and place it on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a soft boil. Once boiling, stir constantly until a thick and smooth paste is formed.

Step 4

Transfer the thick paste to a glass container and let it set in the fridge overnight.

Step 5

Cook the lentil tofu the same way you’d use regular tofu. You can marinate it, air fry it, sauté it, etc. Enjoy your homemade Red Lentil Tofu!
