Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Here are some recipes I found for burmese tofu: " Republic of Bunny " has two versions, one using chickpeas (chick-fu) and one using rice (rice-fu). Click on her " burmese tofu " tag at the bottom of her recipe to see how she uses it: http://therepublicofbunny.blogspot.com/2008/12/burmese-tofu-tutorial-chickpeayel\ low.html http://therepublicofbunny.blogspot.com/2008/12/burmese-tofu-tutorial-rice-versio\ n.html http://www.ericsons.net/784/burmese-tofu This one uses split peas and doesn't ferment over night: http://vegesveggiepatch.blogspot.com/2009/03/fun-with-food.html I know I have read in a blog lately about someone making tofu with a precipitate (ie. not burmese) with chickpeas or something. I'll try to find it. Pam On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 10:40 AM, Barbara Frohne <barbara.frohne wrote: > This is really interesting !

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yes. I'm going to go totally soy free for the first bit, and hopefully feel better, then I'll try soy lecithin or soy oil products and see whether they are a problem or not.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I also found mention of mung tofu, but no recipes. This study tried making precipitated (like soy, not burmese) tofu out of six different kinds of beans, and found chickpea and fava bean to produce the best result: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf0013398 I also came across non-soy tempehs. The Book of Tempeh has a number of non-soy variations: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JLeP4E1dQUUC & pg=PA111 & lpg=PA111 & dq=cereal+tem\ peh & source=web & ots=ig3snB7bWT & sig=wmlWfAIp6r1ZPh-ysWr1B1pYt7M & hl=en & sa=X & oi=book\ _result & resnum=4 & ct=result#v=onepage & q=cereal%20tempeh & f=false Pam On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 12:55 PM, pdw <pdworkman wrote: > Here are a couple more possibilities: > > Sesame curd (goma dofu) > > http://utopiankitchen.wordpress.com/2007/05/09/sesame-curd/ > http://www.justhungry.com/goma-dofu-sesame-tofu-not-tofu > > Hemp tofu (hefu) > > http://mammituokkonen.blogspot.com/2009/05/hefu.html > http://www.innvista.com/health/foods/hemp/hempreci.htm > > I've seen mention of lupine tofu as well, but can't seem to find a > recipe, and since lupine is really only common in Germany and I've > never seen any here, haven't really spent much time on it! > > Pam > > > On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 12:09 PM, pdw <pdworkman wrote: >> Here are some recipes I found for burmese tofu: >> >> " Republic of Bunny " has two versions, one using chickpeas (chick-fu) >> and one using rice (rice-fu).

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I don't tend to I think it's because there are such small amounts I notice the more refined the soy is, the less of a reaction I have So tofu, soymilk = strong reaction Soy sausages mixed with veges = milk reaction Lecithin = pretty much no reaction (probably because it's usually small amounts too) --- On Thu, 26/11/09, Sally Parrott Ashbrook <sally.parrott wrote: Sally Parrott Ashbrook <sally.parrott Re: Re: Soy free?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I wondered about mung bean. I might get some and make it just like soy tofu and see what happens. Chickpea tofu sounds nice. I'm going to have to look at all the links. I just got back from the store where I saw the daughter of my Burmese friend. She didn't know about chick pea tofu, but she didn't grow up in Burma either. She gave me her mom's phone number and I'm going to call and see what she has to say about it. Barbara ______ On Behalf Of pdw [pdworkman] Wednesday, November 25, 2009 1:31 PM Re: Soy free? I also found mention of mung tofu, but no recipes. This study tried making precipitated (like soy, not burmese) tofu out of six different kinds of beans, and found chickpea and fava bean to produce the best result: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf0013398 I also came across non-soy tempehs. The Book of Tempeh has a number of non-soy variations: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JLeP4E1dQUUC & pg=PA111 & lpg=PA111 & dq=cereal+tem\ peh & source=web & ots=ig3snB7bWT & sig=wmlWfAIp6r1ZPh-ysWr1B1pYt7M & hl=en & sa=X & oi=book\ _result & resnum=4 & ct=result#v=onepage & q=cereal%20tempeh & f=false Pam On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 12:55 PM, pdw <pdworkman<pdworkman%40gmail.com>> wrote: > Here are a couple more possibilities: > > Sesame curd (goma dofu) > > http://utopiankitchen.wordpress.com/2007/05/09/sesame-curd/ > http://www.justhungry.com/goma-dofu-sesame-tofu-not-tofu > > Hemp tofu (hefu) > > http://mammituokkonen.blogspot.com/2009/05/hefu.html > http://www.innvista.com/health/foods/hemp/hempreci.htm > > I've seen mention of lupine tofu as well, but can't seem to find a > recipe, and since lupine is really only common in Germany and I've > never seen any here, haven't really spent much time on it! > > Pam > > > On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 12:09 PM, pdw <pdworkman<pdworkman%40gmail.com>> wrote: >> Here are some recipes I found for burmese tofu: >> >> " Republic of Bunny " has two versions, one using chickpeas (chick-fu) >> and one using rice (rice-fu).

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 This site is for making soy based tofu, but I think the directions will work fairly the same for whatever we use. There are lots of recipes at the bottom of the site page to experiment with as well! :-) http://www.soymilkmaker.com/making_tofu.html?gclid=CNft0K6MqJ4CFaM45QodS23upA On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 2:39 PM, Sherene Silverberg <sherene wrote: > > > > On Nov 25, 2009, at 12:40 PM, Barbara Frohne wrote: > > > Has anyone else experiment, or up to experimenting with me? > >> ======= > > I am more than happy to experiment with you if you teach me how to make > tofu. > > I'm going out of town next weekend and will be back from 21-14 Dec and then > back out again for 3 days.
