Ingredients

  • ¾ cup split red lentils
  • 2 ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Rinse the lentils well, then soak them for a minimum of 4 hours to overnight. After soaking, drain the water and rinse the lentils again.
  • Add the soaked lentils to a blender with 2 cups of fresh water. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
  • Transfer the blended mixture to a pot and place it on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a soft boil. Once boiling, stir constantly until a thick and smooth paste is formed.
  • Transfer the thick paste to a glass container and let it set in the fridge overnight.
  • Cook the lentil tofu the same way you’d use regular tofu. You can marinate it, air fry it, sauté it, etc.
  • Enjoy your homemade Red Lentil Tofu!
