Instructions

1. Rinse and clean red lentils under cold running water. Make sure that all the dirt is removed completely.
2. Now mix lentils with boiling water and let them sit until they plump up and the water cools down.
3. You could also let it soak for 4-5 hours in room-temperature water and then blend it.
4. Transfer the soaked lentils along with 2 cups of water and blend the lentil-water mixture until smooth.
5. When blending the lentils, adding 2 tsp of vegan chicken bouillon (or vegetable bouillon) adds a savory layer of flavor to the lentil tofu.
6. Pour the lentil mixture into a saucepan and add more water and salt (if desired)
7. Cook the mixture on medium-high heat, stirring until it becomes very thick and glossy.
8. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and refrigerate it for at least an hour until it firms up like tofu.
9. Once it’s firm, you can cut it into shapes and sizes you like.
