Burmese Tofu

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Burmese Tofu
Bean Flour Chickpea flour Fava Flour Ferments Green Pea Flour Pea Flour Pulse Flour Pulses Yellow Pea Flour

by Victoria Cowan July 18, 2024

This tofu, based on the Burmese variety typically made from chickpea flour, is very quick and easy to make from store cupboard ingredients. It can be adapted to use other pulse flours as Victoria has done here with green pea flour.

The fermentation step (leaving the batter to sit overnight) can be skipped if you’re in a rush. But this extra step does improves the flavour, texture and nutritional availability.

This recipe makes a firm tofu that can be used in much the same way as a firm soy tofu. But unlike soy tofu it has a wonderfully smooth, pillowy interior when pan fried or baked, though it can be a little tricky to cook in a one-pot stir fry. Victoria suggests pan frying the tofu separately then tossing it in with the other ingredients at the end.

The tofu can be flavoured with different spices, by incorporating into the batter when cooking it out. So have a play around!

Ingredients

  • 240g Pulse Flour (choose from chickpea, wrinkled pea, green pea etc)
  • 850g Water
  • 8g Salt

Method

  1. Combine the pulse flour with 400g of water. Let it sit at room temperature overnight to ferment.
  2. Whisk in the remaining 450g of water and the salt, add to the pan and cook out (whilst whisking) until the batter has thickened and clings to the whisk. You’ll want to move it around frequently so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  3. Transfer into an oiled container (cake tin, Tupperware, etc) and leave to set in the fridge for 2+ hours.
  4. Turn out the tofu and portion as desired.
