Tofu isn't and never really has been a vegan-specific thing. In fact, in traditional Chinese cuisine, you're it's mainly used in meaty dishes. Mapo tofu for example.

If someone posted a recipe for, say, grilled mushrooms, or perhaps Chinese hand-torn cabbage, would you also preface it with "I'm not vegan and I don't like veggies"? What purpose does this serve?

@@luke_fabis Thanks for boosting engagement on Mary's video! Mary has said that she eats a primarily plant-based diet and has expressed curiosity about her viewers. Let's keep this a positive space on youtube!

I’m in no way a party animal, however I still regret that I’ve never even been close to being invited to an exotic tofu tasting party.

I wrote this comment in another video, but i dont know if you saw it. I suffer with auto immune disease and chronic pain, so i cook my milk in a slow cooker. It takes a bit longer but I dont have to stand and stir it. It works just as well, and it means that tofu making is a lot easier. I also sit at the table when I'm squeezing the nut milk bag. This helps me to not "over do" things and push myself to hard.

Dear Mary, I absolutely LOVE your tofu-series - and my boyfriend, too! 😆 ❤ Your enthusiastic approach in the kitchen really fills my heart with excitement ❤️‍🔥 I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I looove my veggies and healthy cooking - and of course a block of good quality tofu. So it's extremely satisfying for me to watch you making all kinds of delicious tofu 😋 Thank you so much and keep on squeezing! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Your title made me laugh before I have even had coffee.

sounds like we're off to a wonderful wednesday!

Great series. Is there a blend that you would say is perfect? Say Green peas and lentils or white beans? Basically I'm wondering if there is some traits lentils have that will compliment what white beans may lack? Just curious. I'm always tinkering with these things and like to see how they all come together.

I’m just getting into the tofu game. I already have some dried whole peas so I will definitely try this recipe. I have had some excellent results with Epsom salts as a coagulant. Last time I made soy tofu, the whole pot turned out as one big curd. Very happy so far.

Your videos bring so much joy to me and I always get to learn something new. I have tried several of your recipes (especially soy milk recipe and regular tofu recipe). Keep them coming, please!

If you’re making tofu often I would suggest investing in a conical fermenting vessel. They are large enough to make big batches and drain from the bottom so you can easily drain off the starch layer without disturbing it.

Loving your tofu series! Now do one each on how you use the fiber and the wey! I think veggie soup for the wey. And perhaps seasoned bean parties for the fiber. But what other deliciousness will make the job of creating tofu worthwhile????? These are whole foods and no part should be waisted!!!

Such a great video. Do you by chance know what seed or bean contains the highest amount of protein? I would love to know. Thank you

@marystestkitchen

10 ай бұрын

Soy is the bean highest in protein with 36g per 100g of raw beans. Then Fava with 26g, then lentils with 25g, and peas with about 24g. I got these numbers from USDA but I spoke to a tofu manufacturer owner who told me these are really approximations since the content can vary from harvest to harvest. As for seeds, hemp are highest with 31g, then pumpkin seeds with 29...but seeds are higher in fat too so its not really comparing apples to apples.

Cool beans fam 👌🏿❤️

Thank you! How about steaming it?

Not a Heston fan, but I think I’d love this peasfu! 😊 I wonder how much protein would be in it - or if adding protein powder somewhere in the process to boost it would work, if desired. Any thoughts on that? Thank you for the instructions this looks really good, and it’s very affordable.

Hi Mary, do you have a cookbook for this?

Groovy 🤠

This made a firm tofu for me, but it was a bit dense and chalky in texture. However, after cooking it - sautee in olive oil - the texture was better. I wouldn't eat it without cooking it first.

Have you considered trying to siphon the milk off of the starch layer? Seems like it could save some effort in a lot of these! Love the series!

Could fresh green peas work? Or does something else happen during the dehydrating + soaking process?

In my mind's ear I am playing the voice of Charlton Heston doing a dramatic reading of your video title. 😁 I wonder how many of your viewers get the reference!

Thank you so much! I have finally realised why my first attempts at soy tofu did not work: far too much water. Did I miss it or did you never mention how much water to add to the soaked peas? I‘d love to try with peas. They are more local to where I live and probably much cheaper. Thank you so much for testing!

Lentilles Vertes, Green Lentils, Fonio (it's an ancient grain) or Amaranth (also an ancient grain)

Forgive me if this has been answered by a previous video, but is there a specific reason to discard the soaking water before adding fresh water to blend? Is the infused soaking liquid bad for flavor or curd production?

The soaking liquid will be high in starch which is indeed bad for the tofu-isation.

Did you salt the water for boiling? I do that with regular tofu to firm it up, (pretty sure osmosis extracts some water), giving it a better texture & making it less fiddly to give the chickun pakora treatment, (marinated in masala paste then deep fried in a besan & riceflour based batter).

Soylent green is pea(ple)!

There is something to note. In your process you are dissolving proteins in water and then coagulating them out. Pea have mainly two types of proteins, albumins which are water soluble ans somewhat salt soluble and globulins, that are not dissolved in water, but a salt water. So I think your method will only concentrate albumin, so a lot of protein is going to waste.
