Also called chickpea tofu or shan tofu, it is more similar to polenta than tofu, as I'll explain. The wonderful thing about this chickpea tofu recipe, apart from the fact that it's a wonderful soy free. Burmese (chickpea) tofu is made by cooking split pea flour or chickpea flour and water batter until I make my chickpea tofu with chickpea flour and with less liquid so it is a sturdier, and quick version.
To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have chickpea tofu using 3 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Chickpea Tofu:

As someone who eats a predominantly plant-based diet, you can imagine that I've enjoyed a long history of consuming soy-based foods. Chickpea flour tofu is truly a game changer. It is fast and easy to make, and both versatile and delicious to the extreme! This chickpea flour "tofu" contains no soy but delivers a creamy-firm texture similar to tofu and is easy to pull off at home.
Steps to make Chickpea Tofu:
- Soaking chickpeas overnight or in the hot water until soft. Do not boil the chickpeas. So a tined chickpeas won’t work. I put Konbu kelp for umami. Option.
- Blend chickpeas with water until smooth and put them in a cheese/mesh bag. Squeeze the liquid into a pan.
- Cook the liquid at medium heat until the consistency likes a custard cream. I cooked it at high medium heat so it took 35 minutes. In this case, do not leave the stove during the cooking. Burnt easily. Low heat would be taking longer time.
- Keep the tofu in a container, lid on and cool it down. Then leave it in the fridge until serve. Do not throw the Okara (top left), which squeezed out of the blended chickpeas, away. I'll use it for another recipes later.
- For sauce; soy sauce, salad dressings, hot sauces etc. I made a quite lot of chickpeas and cooked chickpea burgers as well.
Stir the chickpeas and tofu into the curry and let them heat through. Burmese tofu is made from chickpea flour, meaning it still packs a hefty dose of protein, but without soy. It holds its shape well and has a creamy and silky texture, similar to silken tofu.
