1. Soak the chickpeas in plenty of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
2. The next day, drain the chickpeas and add them to the pitcher of a high-speed blender along with 250 ml of water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth.
3. Transfer the blended mixture to a non-stick frying pan and stir in 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 2 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula. Be diligent, as the starches will settle at the bottom and stick if not continuously stirred.
4. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens into a paste that no longer levels out in the pan and clings to the spatula. If it’s still too runny, cook it a bit longer.
5. Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer the paste to a mold and allow it to set for an hour, ideally in the fridge, before using.
This is called Tofu, Chickpea tofu, or Burmese Tofu,
Red lentil tofu is a simple, protein-packed alternative to traditional soy tofu, perfect for those looking for a soy-free, nutrient-rich option. It has a mild flavor that pairs well with various spices and sauces, making it versatile for multiple dishes.
To make red lentil tofu, start by soaking a cup of red lentils in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain and rinse the lentils. Then, blend the soaked lentils with 2-3 cups of water until you get a smooth, thin batter. You can add a pinch of salt or turmeric at this stage to add flavor and a hint of color.
Next, pour the lentil mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The mixture will gradually thicken and start to look like a thick, creamy paste. Continue stirring until it reaches a custard-like consistency and pulls away from the sides of the pan, which takes around 10-15 minutes.
Once the mixture is thick, transfer it to a square or rectangular container lined with parchment paper for easy removal. Smooth the top, let it cool for about an hour, and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up. Once set, you can cut it into cubes and either serve it as-is or fry it until golden for a crispier texture.
Red lentil tofu works well in stir-fries, salads, or as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free, high in protein, and has a pleasant, slightly nutty taste.

Kung Pao chicken (Chinese: 宫保鸡丁; pinyin: Gōngbǎo jīdīng), also transcribed Gong Bao or Kung Po, is a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish made with cubes of chicken, peanuts, vegetables (traditionally Welsh onion only), and chili peppers. The classic dish in Sichuan cuisine originated in the Sichuan Province of south-western China and includes Sichuan peppercorns. Although the dish is found throughout China, there are regional variations that are typically less spicy than the Sichuan serving. Kung Pao chicken is also a staple of Westernized Chinese cuisineThe dish is believed to be named after Ding Baozhen (1820–1886), a late Qing Dynasty official and governor of Sichuan Province. His title was Taizi Shaobao, which is one of Gongbao (Chinese: 宫保; pinyin: Gōngbǎo; Wade–Giles: Kung1-pao3; lit. 'Palace Guardian').The name Kung Pao chicken is derived from this title, while the use of the character 丁 dīng in the name of the dish is a pun on his surname Dīng, a moderately common Chinese surname that can also be read to mean "small cube" (like the cubes the chicken is diced into for the dish).During the Cultural Revolution, the dish's name became politically incorrect because of its association with the imperial system. The dish was renamed "spicy chicken" (Chinese: 糊辣鸡丁; pinyin: húlà jīdīng) by Maoists until its political rehabilitation in the 1980s under Deng Xiaoping's reforms.Sichuan versionThe original Sichuan version uses chicken as its primary ingredient. In this original version, diced chicken is typically mixed with a prepared marinade. Shaoxing wine is used to enhance flavor in the marinade. The wok is seasoned and then chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are flash-fried to add fragrance to the oil. In Sichuan, or when preparing Sichuan-style Kung Pao chicken, only Sichuan-style chili peppers such as facing heaven pepper or seven stars pepper (Chinese: 七星椒; pinyin: qīxīngjiāo) are used. Smaller, thinner Sichuanese varieties may also be used. Sichuan peppercorns are then added; while Kung Pao chicken does not belong to the numbing-spicy "mala" flavor profile (Chinese: 麻辣味型; pinyin: málà wèixíng), a small amount of fresh toasted peppercorns are traditionally used to balance the heat of the chilis.Then the chicken is stir-fried and chopped leeks, along with peanuts, are added. Kung Pao chicken starts off with fresh, moist, unroasted peanuts. These are often used instead of their pre-roasted versions. The peanuts are dropped into the hot oil at the bottom of the wok, then deep-fried until golden brown before the other ingredients are added.Variants exist that use other meats in place of chicken, such as "Kung Pao shrimp" (Chinese: 宫保虾) [7] and "Kung Pao frog legs" (Chinese: 宫保田鸡).Guizhou version[edit]The neighboring province of Guizhou, southeast of Sichuan, has a variant of Kung Pao chicken based on the ciba fermented chili paste (Chinese: 糍粑辣椒 cíbā làjiāo) of Guizhou cuisine. Like the Sichuan version, the dish features marinated cubes of chicken; while the Guizhou marinade is largely the same as the Sichuan version's, the chicken cubes are larger and typically skin-on. The dish is further distinguished in that rather than flash-frying whole peppers in oil before stir-frying, a large quantity of the ciba chili paste is fried in the wok until the oil is stained. The chicken is then stir-fried in the resulting sauce with garlic, ginger, and green garlic or green onion.Western versionsVersions commonly found in the West, called Kung Pao chicken, Kung Po, or just chicken chili and garlic, consist of diced, marinated chicken, stir-fried with orange or orange juice, ginger, garlic, chicken broth, sugar, cooking oil, corn starch, and salt and pepper to taste. Also sometimes with many other vegetables, such as onion, bell pepper or carrots. The dish often includes or is garnished with whole roasted peanuts. Instead of chicken, Western variations sometimes substitute other meat such as pork, duck, fish, or tofu.
