Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea flour (also known as besan)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 - 1 tbsp adobo seasoning (optional)
  • salt (to taste)

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine 1 cup water with the chickpea flour and adobo seasoning (check out my recipe here)
  • Whisk until well combined (you can also use a blender to ensure a creamy consistency)
  • In a small pot, add 1 cup water and bring to a rolling boil
  • Working quickly, pour in the chickpea/water/spice mixture and stir with a spatula quickly (making sure the tofu mixture doesn't stick to the pot)
  • Keep stirring until a thick cake like batter forms
  • After a cake like batter forms, remove from heat and transfer to a lined container
  • Let cool, cover, and let sit in the fridge for at least an hour to thicken
  • When ready to use, cut into cubes and cook as you would tofu
  • Enjoy!

Notes


Seasonings

You can use seasonings other than adobo to flavor your tofu depending on what you're using it for. For Thanksgiving, I used an Italian spice seasoning to give my tofu a more appropriate feel.

To make scrambled eggs

Combine 2 cups of water into the pot while cooking instead of 1 cup. This will form a more eggy and soft feel in your tofu.
