Home-made Burmese Tofu salad (တ႔ိုဟူးသုပ္)

Finally, I have learnt the skill of making Burmese tofu…hooray! Actually, it is really simple to make.

Let’s us start by getting all these ingredients ready.

Home-made Tofu
Serves: 2-3


Ingredients for making Burmese Tofu
150g Chick Pea Powder
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
640 ml water
I did not add salt since I would be adding salt as well as fish sauce in my tofu salad later on.


Directions
Add chick peas powder into a bowl. Then add 160ml of water and give it a stir for about 2 minutes. Add another 480 ml of water and stir well till the mixture becomes smooth. Now add in ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder. Stir well.

Place cooking pan/pot over a medium heat. Pour in the chick peas liquid and start stirring. Please note that you need to stir continuously. And it will take about 6-7 minutes. You need to lower the heat once the mixture become thickens and lumps begin to form. You can refer to my following video for better understanding of making tofu. Wish you success in making it!

For tofu salad, I only use half of my tofu for one serving.
