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:

n.html

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.

Or, not buttery, but you can refrigerate olive oil so that it sets up. We

tend not to use any spreads, but when my son is really craving something, we

do that.

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. Just tellling you this because I will be able to

experiment but my time available will be spotty

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!

BTW, there are a number of soy-free recipes for mayonnaise around too, if

you want to make your own. Sunflower, cashew or other nuts, coconut, white

beans, etc.

Many of us who react to soy do not react to soy lecithin.

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.

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

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)

Many of us who react to soy do not react to soy lecithin.

how I wish my daughter and I were in that subset.

 

we've blind tested my daughter and her reaction to soy lecithin is the same as

to other soy products.

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.

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:

It makes me wonder if I could make a tofu from some other kind of bean, because

I can eat several. Has anyone else experiment, or up to experimenting with me?

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! :-)
