Marys Test Kitchen | TOFU from BLACK BEANS? (yes, but not what you think!) | Mary's Test Kitchen @marystestkitchen | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Will Black Beans Tofu? That is a question that has been asked and answered. No, they will not. However, the title is NOT clickbait; one special type of bean that is black will indeed transform into high protein, low carb tofu that you can use in regular recipes that call for tofu.
In this episode of #WillItTofu, I'll share:
- what black beans will tofu,
- how to make tofu out of these 'black beans',
- is this 'black bean tofu' any good?
- what happens when we air-fry, boil, or pan-fry it?
- and how much does it cost.
As in all the tofu-making videos in this series, our aim is to create a close alternative to the traditional tofu. It's low carb and high protein and made with the traditional tofu-making method. That is, with pressing coagulated high protein curds as opposed to the high carb, lower protein, polenta-like tofu like Burmese Tofu).
Please let me know if you have other questions. Also feel free to make a #reciperequest and let me know what other ingredients I should tofu-ify!
Thanks for watching!

BLACK SOYBEANS: amzn.to/3s0vE7H
For Canada: amzn.to/3Fupi3n
BTW, you can probably find them cheaper at an East Asian grocery store (Chinese, Korean or Japanese). They may be labelled as "black beans" or "black bean with green". Look at the shape to determine if they are the right ones.
PREFERRED TOFU MOLD/MAKING SET (see note): amzn.to/3ShVUC9
For Canada: amzn.to/3y2lSl9
NOTE: while mine came with a cloth (and some reviews also mention they received the cloth) some viewers have recently reported theirs did not come with a cloth! If that's the case for you, I recommend looking for the 20"x20" cheesecloth by OLICITY which is the closest thing I could find.
PREFERRED NUT MILK/ SOY MILK BAG: amzn.to/3BJvLVO
For Canada: amzn.to/3rfqJfa
GYPSUM (food-grade): amzn.to/3CngR9j
For Canada: amzn.to/3dMyK83
GLASS AIR FRYER
For US: amzn.to/3KIMqy4 (this is a different brand than mine but it is most likely the same thing but a different white label)
For Canada: amzn.to/45zB0oG (when you read the reviews for this one, make sure you filter ONLY for 4L Digital since they have several models on the same listing)
JUICER THAT CAN "JUICE" BEANS/PEAS (you literally do not need this at all but if you're in the market for one, this juicer is more affordable than similar masticating juicers on the market! So far, it seems good quality!)
US: amzn.to/3PFmDtG
Canada: amzn.to/45Vkjo4
GLASS FOOD CONTAINERS: amzn.to/3ftQhCH
For Canada: amzn.to/3E41xjm
MY HIGH-SPEED BLENDER: amzn.to/3fgEMyq
