Not like other RED LENTIL TOFU recipes 😏 (soy-free high protein, low carb tofu)

Hello friends! I’m back with more soy-free tofu that’s also high in protein and low in carbs. Using red lentils this time! Red lentils are awesome because they are CHEAP AF. I have loved red lentils for years but recently I have not been able to eat them because they are too high in carbs for my personal health condition. I was afraid my giant jar of red lentils was going to go bad in my pantry. But after the success of my new fava bean tofu recipe, I had to give red lentil tofu a try. This red lentil tofu is different from all the other red lentil tofu recipes on youtube (that I’ve been able to find to date) because it is made like traditional tofu. That is, the fiber is removed and the protein milk is coagulated into curds, then pressed into a block. Because lentils are high in starch, I have inserted an extra step to let the starch settle so it can be separated. The result is high protein red lentil tofu with much less carbohydrate content. I love that it comes out a pretty pink colour, pale as it is. But I was blown away by how delicious it turned out! Even as it didn’t resemble soy-based tofu very much at all. I’ve never seen anyone else make tofu this way so I’m taking the liberty of naming it PINK TOFU. Will you try Pink Tofu too? BTW, I’m always taking requests. Leave your #reciperequest in the comments (and don’t forget the hashtag so I can find it easily) and you just might be responsible for an upcoming video! Cheers, Mary P.S. BTW, YES I bumped up the saturation on the thumbnail for bait reasons! It really comes out a pale, peachy pink. ✨ Become a channel member for early access to new videos!✨ --- RELATED LINKS --- PINK TOFU (high protein red lentil tofu) printable recipe: FAVA BEAN TOFU video: FAVA BEAN TOFU printable recipe: ORIGINAL TOFU TUTORIAL (with lemon) video: HOW TO MAKE SILKEN TOFU video: BURMESE TOFU (aka Shan Tofu, Chickpea Tofu) video: ----- PRODUCT LINKS* ----- These are affiliate links which I earn a commission from when you use them to make purchases.
