Scale
- 200g black beans (soaked overnight)
- 500ml water
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Soak the black beans overnight or for at least 8 hours. This softens and prepares them for blending.
- Blend the black beans in a high-speed blender along with 500ml (2 cups) of water until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Strain the blended mixture through a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Collect the filtered black bean water in a pot then season to your liking, such as salt, paprika, or chili powder.
- Heat the pot and vigorously whisk the mixture to prevent sticking until it thickens.
- Transfer the thickened mixture into a glass container and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once the tofu has set, treat it like any other type of tofu. You can pan-fry, stir-fry, or use it in various recipes.
