Here is a soy free tofu alternative that you can make at home yourself! It's really easy, high in protein, super cheap to make and you can season it however you would like!
Let me know in the comments if this is something you would try?
Black Bean Tofu
1 cup of dry black beans
2 cups of water
1 tsp of onion powder
0.5 tsp of salt
0.5 tsp of pepper
Soak 1 Cup of black beans overnight for at least 10 hours
Strain and rinse
This should give you about 2 cups of soaked black beans
Add to a blender with 2 cups of water and blend until smooth
*If your blender is not strong enough, try a food processor and only add about 1/4 of the water to begin with
Strain through a strainer and add seasoning
Add to a pot and heat on medium until it starts to bubble and thicken, whisking it consistently
Turn down the heat to a low simmer and continue cooking until it is very thick. 12-15 minutes total.
Quickly add it to a glass baking dish and smooth it into the edges.
Let it cool then pop it in the fridge.
It should set up in the fridge in about 1-2 hours
Now cook with it however you would usually use tofu.
