Easy Homemade Lentil Tofu

Prep:15minCook:5min

Just 2 ingredients and is super quick to make! This is the perfect recipe for anyone who cannot eat soy, or just wants to change it up a bit. The end result is a tofu that can be crisped up on the outside and is melt-in-your-mouth tender in the middle. You can use it 1 to 1 as a sub for soy tofu- season and cook it any way you like! Recipe inspired by: Plant You , PowerHungry, Nikki Vegan & Happy Gut for Life

Base flavor was just okay with added garlic onion cayenne powders, had better mouth feel when baked, but difficult to crisp up because bean tofu so easily mushed together. Maybe better with firmer formulation, maybe smaller pieces, and some way to increase spiciness. Was certainly an interesting experiment.

I’m seriously impressed with this stuff! Turning dried lentils into something so tofu-like feels magical! The suggested method for seasoning and baking is delicious. I liked it with vegan mayo, but Thai peanut sauce, hot sauce, or just ketchup and mustard are great too. Give this a try!

I battered it and fried on the first day, second day I baked it. Baking is better, it cooked well, stayed firm and added well to a sauce. The recipe says you don't need to use anything to gather moisture, I disagree, the bottom went a bit mushy so next time I'll is a dish towel. On the whole, this is easy, very very tasty and cheap. Big win for me.
