Published 2023-07-14
1 lbs of split yellow mung
5 cups of water
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup water
Soak the split yellow mung in plenty of water for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse. Combine your soaked beans with 5 cups of water in a high-speed blender (may need to be done in 2 batches) Blend until completely smooth.
Add the blended mixture to a nut-milk bag and strain all of the liquid into a bowl. The pulp should be dry and the consistency of playdoh when you have removed enough liquid. Allow the liquid to sit for 30 minutes or more, so the starches settle.
Line a tofu press with very fine cheesecloth.
Combine 3 tbsp of lemon juice and 1 cup of water and set aside.
Pour bean milk liquid into a pot avoiding the settled starches. Cook on High, consistently stirring with a flat bottom spatula to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the pot, until it starts to lightly boil. Turn off stove, and remove pot from heat. Next, add the lemon water mixture, and stir. Cover and allow to curdle (15 - 25 minutes).
Remove curds, and add to the lined tofu press. Fold cheesecloth neatly around bean curds, and press firmly to remove liquid. Continue letting the Mung-Fu press in fridge overnight.
Cut and enjoy in recipes that use tofu.

Well what can I say brother other than a heartfelt thank you. You are helping me jail break the toxic food industry in a huge way. I’m 56, have ate fairly healthy most of my life by the social structure standard, but was totally oblivious to the damage that is done on the daily by eating foods that don’t feed my melanin. Your channel is a blessing and I share it with everyone that I care about. Its just that important. Again, from a Pan-Afrikan seeking a better way to live, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Being from India, we eat beans and lentils almost twice everyday. But this is a nice new version. We make a recipe with spinach and cottage cheese called palak paneer. This Mung-fu is a perfect alternative for cottage cheese. Thanks

As someone who has developed a soy allergy, I appreciate you taking the time to show us this alternative. Soy is a mono culture crop that oftentimes is sprayed with pesticides. It is used as a processed, cheap filler and binder in many grocery items. Thank you for all the good work you are doing here.

tofu is safe to eat, but will try this too. As an asian women, I was brought up on tofu, as my parents and grandparents ate it as well. Parents are almost 90. Love your content and will try this mung fu🥰

7 years vegan here. I love tofu, and being a woman of a certian age, the plant estrogens are great for my body. That being said, I also love variety, so this is quite a fun alternative. Going to be buying more mung beans for sure. Thank you for another fabulous vidoe. I dont want to miss any from you. .

Wow you are taking the Vegan plant based healthy eating game to a hold other level. Brother you are the first and by far the best vegan channel I have seen.

Keep up the great work. Great videos ! God bless you.

Thank you so much for your recipes. As God created us to be on a plant base diet so I thank you for teaching and demonstrating what God has ordained for us to do eat healthy.
