Mung-Fu: Easy 2 Ingredient SOY-FREE TOFU

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- MUNG-FU RECIPE:
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.
I’m not of African descent but totally agree that “social standards”. Whoever is going to make the most money off our purchases is who the mainstream is going to push. Crisco was originally a lubricant for machinery and goes thru a 17 step chemical process. Anyway. Do love this guy.
Oh man, your message goes straight to my heart! There is nothing more rewarding than affirmations from people stating that my recipes are making a positive difference. It is THE reason I do this, and your message is like a gift of motivation and fulfillment for me. And, the fact that you are sharing to help empowers others ... priceless! So, I ...Thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU!
Yes! Great example (crisco) of how dangerous our "food" can be!
@@euphoniahale5181 I never knew that! I haven't eaten Crisco since I was a teen (I'm 50 now). I don't know how this fact escaped me! Now that I'm thinking about it, Crisco is the perfect consistency for machinery lubricant. smh
My mom
Of course … I paused the video and immediately googled nutritional value of mung beans!! WoW! 49 grams of protein in 1 cup! I’m sold!!! Thank you ✌🏼
Amazing!
But he didn't use 90% of the mung beans that have the protein. I don't know why that can't be used. He just used the water "milk" from the beans, so I wonder how much protein that bean "milk" has
🤔49 grams would be nice… From the various sources I find, 1 cup of cooked mung beans contains around 14 grams of protein…
The back of my mung dal package says 9grams of protein per 1/4 cup
You are a fantastic teacher, very methodic, clear instructions, and great encouragement to 'make your own!!' Blessings! Thank you!!
Thank you so much!
@@healthyveganeatinga teacher myself, I couldn’t agree more. You are a natural teacher, and so good at it! Thanks for all of your hard work and effort in putting out your videos. I’m really appreciative because I know it’s not easy. Blessings (I’m a new subscriber:)
Agreed
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
I have posted a palak paneer made with tofu on my Instagram page
I just made a huge amount of saag paneer using tofu as the paneer. I used a combination of blended silken tofu and cononut milk as the dairy in the saag. Soooooo good.
Paneer is even better/closer substituted with peanut tofu, same procedure but using raw peanuts, it has some of the creaminess a bean tofu simply does not have!
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.
It's my pleasure, thank you for appreciating!
people been eating soy their culture for centuries. Don't believe all the hype. If it was THAT bad, all my mom, dad, and grandparents would all have died from some weird disease. All lived to be past 90 with NO CANCER. Tofu was a huge staple in their diet. Westerners can't understand this because its not a food that is of their culture.
What your parents ate and what most people today eat as a "typical" diet are very different, I'm sure. Summarizing that any food is good or bad based on what you have observed does not trump scientific studies involving large numbers of people with controlled variables.
@@healthyveganeating tofu is a major part of asian diets. In okinawa, the blue zone its ate on a regular basis. I don't really pay attention to controlled studies involving large number of people because Its been in the culture for centuries.
In defense of soy you can buy tofu tempeh and milk with ORGANIC on the label. Soy is a popular for its many uses and as I live in rural america I see it go by the truckload to the silos. So mainly meat and dairy customers are those consuming GMO soy. To say soy is a great choice is not to take away from all the other wonderful beans available. Thanks for the wonderful recipe to expand our choices.💙🤹♀️
You cook VERY GOOD you are clean and neat and if I might say nice good looking decent young man (I am not trying be fresh I am too old) but I give credit where credit is due. May God Bless you.😊
Thank you so much!
I’m a woman of a certain age also. This young man makes me proud. No dairy. No oil. Make your own, has influenced me greatly. He is articulate and possesses the other attributes you mentioned. Not a thing wrong with you saying so. The truth is the light. Thankful that I found him.
Haven't had meat in a month, and truly I don't miss it because your recipes are amazing 😊. Thanks a million
Love this message! It is so motivating to know that the recipes are helping you transition. You are so welcome!
This is a great way to make “eggs” also. The blending of the mung beans
This man channel is straight from God thankyou .!!!
Thank you 🙏🏾
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🥰
Hope you enjoy!
Soy can pose threats to African Americans - majority of studies are not focused on this population ❤
Thank you for confirming that, how wonderful! I also love tofu and drink soy milk and eat soy beans. I have included more in my diet after discovering some studies done on women in the Japanese population with soy in their diets who experienced very little to zero symptoms during menopause.
This is great! I found a company in Vancouver that makes a tofu alternate from mung beans. But it’s almost impossible to get in my area and I had no idea how they made it. Now I do! Will give this a try! Amazing information!
We use to grow over 6 thousands acres of soybeans, all organic.. 👍❤️🇺🇸
I ditched dairy decades ago...I lost weight my hormones got better..no bloating. I am so happy to see hormone free/dairy free alternatives.
Yes, beautiful!
Javant I have created an entire folder simply for your videos. May you continue to prosper in every area of your life. You have provided so much value in the Vegan space that no one could refute how much your videos have helped them. #MakeYourOwn #HealthyVeganEating #JavantRocks #MungFu #NoFu
I LOVE and appreciate this message! Thank you!!!
Great minds think alot. I was just thinking about making a folder with all the recipes. They all look so great.
Im am truly blown away by t he creativity of your recipes. I can't do my usual sunday morning duties because im stuck on watching. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE publish a cook book very SOON! God bless you as you bless us with your God-given talent.
Thank you so much for watching and appreciating my videos!!
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.
"I KNOW...Mung-Fu" 🤣
Sorry as a Vegan and martial artist, I SO couldn't resist this!
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. I just started watching your channel and I'm truly impressed. Thank you for all you do, it's truly appreciated by us that are trying to eat healthy and better for our health and wellness. Keep up the great work. Great videos ! God bless you.
This is a beautiful message, and I absolutely LOVE it!! Thank you for appreciating my efforts!!
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. .
Wonderful!
That sandwich looks delicious. 💯💯💯 I want one now.
That is the most beautiful sandwich I have ever seen!! You are a great chef sir!!🎉❤
Wow, thank you!
Just Wow! My life has never been filled with this much variety and flavor. I am so happy that you care enough about people to share the healthy vegan recipes. I am slowly making believers at work by sharing my vegan food with my standard American diet friends. God Bless you!
Nice!
Yes, he does a great job spreading the benefits of loving foods that love us back! I would never throw out the pulp though, it is loaded with essential fiber and nutrients and is a wonderful ingredient for all kinds of "burgers", patties, baked goods, etc.. I was also wondering if anyone knows what are the additional benefits of making "mung-fu" as opposed to just blending then cooking the entire blended bean with the fiber intact as in makin Burmese tofu?
I’m a sandwich lover - most especially in the summer 🍅but I’ve had so many health challenges and food allergies and sensitivities that I can no longer eat many “healthy” vegan foods either. You are truly a God-sent blessing! Can’t wait to munch into my homemade sandwiches 🥪 without worrying if I’ll regret it.
May you continue to prosper in your endeavors! 🙏
I LOVE this message; it makes me very happy!! There’s nothing better than when someone is excited to enjoy foods they thought were no longer an option.
I’m so happy for you, and hope you’re able to enjoy your sandwiches routinely again.
So nice!! 😇
Wow....one year later and I still find myself watching your videos over and over to recreate your delicious and amazing recipes!
I LOVE that! Let's make it two years now 👌🏾
Sir, found you on TikTok and so thankful! I just can't put in words how you guide your audience in maintaining their focus while teaching healthy prep and cooking receipes. Even your receipe instructions are written as though you are speaking to us and so easy to follow. The best yet! Lord's Will, you will help me in reaching and maintaining a healthy eating regiment. Thank you! Most high in christ bless!
I LOVE this message!! You're welcome, and thank you for appreciating my efforts!!
You are such an inspiration, and a huge help for me on my journey to go fully vegan. I am not there yet, but with your helpful recipes (especially the veggie ground!!!!) I'm sure I'll make it happen! 👊🙏
Love it!!! A lot!!
Brotha you are a genius🧠🙏🏾!!! Thank you for making this video & providing this info to the community because I’ve been trying to find healthier alternatives while trying to be committed to this plant-based/alkaline & vegan “live-it”
I’ve personally never liked eating tofu & knew that eating too much of was bad for knowing anything about how damaging soy products are. As a man I noticed that eating too much soy effected my health, body & hormones/testosterone.
I love that our people keep innovating & leveling up💪🏿🖤👑🇿🇦!!!
I don't know if you will see this or not but I just recently began my vegan lifestyle and I found out, from my nutritionist, that I am not able to eat any soy. I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for sharing this. I hope my vegan journey gets better and with you sharing this looks like I may have a fighting chance. Again, Thank you so very much!
You’re welcome! It’s great to hear your vegan journey is off to a good start. Let me know if there are additional foods that you would like recipes for. 🙏🏾
Thanks for the very clear instructions, as always! 😊
My pleasure!
Great to see new Refreshing videos on Health Foods that are Vegan and love to see you using good quality stainless pots and equipment it's costly but can last a lifetime.

Looks delicious, I’m definitely going to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy!
❤❤ Thank you!
You are so welcome!
It's just a BIG WOW!!!🤜🏾🤴🏾
Mungbeans are such a great egg replacement as well... love it! 😋
Yes they are!
How do you prepare your egg dish?
Hi Javant! LOVE you on TH-cam! So happy to find your longer videos. May you continue to go from strength to strength!!
Love this message! Thank you so much!!
Please package this for sale 🙏 You could be the next Hodo or Nasoya! This looks so delicious as all of your recipes do. You are the most creative vegan chef I follow. I am, however, a “lazy” vegan that tends to eat what’s quick and easy. A book would also be amazing!! ❤
As soon as I am done with my App, I will turn my attention to both of these things. Thanks for suggesting!
@@healthyveganeatingThat would be amazing. Just being able to order things online would make life so much easier. Being sometimes I lack the strength to do things since I'm still in recovery.
Holy Crap!! This looks absolutely Amazing!!
🙏🏾
Mis respetos para usted!! Es un señor muy inteligente y super amable al compartir su sabiduria con nosotros. Todo se ve delicioso 😋 GRACIAS, GRACIAS, GRACIAS ❤BENDICIONES 🙏
Dear Sir!
As with so many of your ingeniously created recipe videos,
THIS ONE is another timely 🎤🎤🎤MOMENT!!!. ... WILL MAKE MY OWN 😅....Thank you.
Truly a Labor of Love to others that will not be forgotten.
Thank you so much for the appreciation, glad you're enjoying the recipes!!
Wow, I definitely going to try making this. It looks easy and I think even I can do it. Thank you so much you have a fabulous channel and I love it.❤
You are so welcome!
You are the best! Thank you for making straight forward, easy to follow recipes.
My pleasure, thanks for appreciating!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes that preserve our health, made easily and within everyone's reach. You are unique and I adore you.❤
This is a beautiful message! Thank you, sincerely!
I love your teaching style. So clear and easy to follow. I especially love that this doesn’t require a fancier coagulant than lemon juice! Can’t wait to try this… I’m subscribing right away.
Thank you so much!
Wow, the end results looks so delicious!😍
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Great job, I love mung bean
Thank you!
OMG!!!! This is amazing!!!! Thank you!!!!💕
thank you so much for showing the cheaper options. that is really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
You are my new favorite vegan channel! I really lean alot!@@healthyveganeating
I am looking forward to the bread recipe. I am very curious as to what ingredients you will use. As always… your videos help me to stay the course on this journey to health. Thanks! ❤
And what s fantastic kitchen! Love the spices on the back splash! So creative!
Thank you so much!
Definitely going to try this. I love tofu but often worry about the extra ingredients that are not so healthy and the possible estrogen effects etc. thank you for this. You are a great teacher.
Thank you!
Thank you again for another great recipe you're sharing with us!
Debbie in WA Ü
You are so welcome!
Omg thank you so much
Perfect! Someone finally did it! I’ve been meaning to try mung bean-fu… I’ll watch this later to see how it’s done, thanks!
You're welcome
Thank you! I have a soy allergy, so this is great. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Great presentation!
Glad you liked it!
You're AMAZING!!
😊
Loving this tutorial, best I have ever come across
Thank you so much!
I had to give up all soy products due to allergies, but so happy I came across this video! Can’t wait to try this!
Do you think I can you make bean curd sheets with mung beans, too? That would be amazing!
You got a new subscriber!! 😁
I’m not sure, but I think it would be doable. Thank you so much for subbing! 🙏🏾
Seeing your video for the first time, I have to congratulate you on your method, explanation and your demonstration. I have found an alternative to tofu!!
Thanks so much and all good wishes my brother, to you making many more videos and continued success.
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts!
YUM
Love the idea and the result looks amazing!!! Those are the best curds I have seen with anything but soy!!!
Most who make tofu from other legumes use the Burmese method and it's just a different thing... You are the second one I found who made genuine tofu and Mary has not tried mung beans yet.... Love you use lemon juice as a coagulant, it's by way the most excessable!
Totaly have to try this ^^
Thank you for appreciating!
Is there a use for the stuff left in the nut bag? Thanks! And I love your videos! That sandwich looks amazing!
I have actually mixed in my vegan burgers as to help with the binding. With th soy pulp not mung bean also to make soy sausage
You can look up 'Okara' recipes to find uses for the pulp
Okara burgers are great!
Would one use the starch in the burgers as well?
I do find (when doing soy milk) that I have a lot of food coming from one bag of beans! Milk, burgers...
I baked it, then used it for hummus
@@healthyveganeating really do you have a recipe?
You're a great teacher - keep doing you calling!
Thank you so much! Will do!
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Love this Bro! Great Mung-fu recipe. I will try it. The sandwich presentation at the end Rules on the internet Bro. Know that! I now declare you" King Javant" Master Chef of Whole Raw, Plant Based, Vegan Food. Now, I'm sure you know Mung Beans are used in the Vegan Egg recipe that's currently in the market. Would love to see your take on that. Hint: I would buy it in liquid or powder form.
Love this message, and it actually made me laugh aloud (King, master chef). You must be clairvoyant, thats all I will say about the scrabbled eggs.
Not me tearing up 🥹.. i have a soy sensitivity and im in awe love that i can make nofu/ mungfu and enjoy recipes that call for tofu. Thank you very much for this recipe its going to be an amazing addition to my household. ❤
You're so welcome! So happy to be able to provide yo this alternative. Enjoy!
Your like an angel , lol amazing recipes and teaching us goodness ty.
You are so welcome! 😇
I need you in my life for this change In life foods. Thank you so much!👍
I'm right here for you!
a kind thank you, Javant, for some great tips and your general no oil, no wheat, no rice, healthy vegan content. your recipes are inspiring and motivating and upliftingly healthy. I appreciate all you're doing and am learning something new each video!
This is such a kind message, thank you!
I don't know why I didn't see this sooner. I cut ties with tofu and soybeans altogether and needed a replacement. This is it!!! Thank you so much, brother. Much respect to you, even if I am late to the party.
Thank you for expressing your appreciation and supporting my channel!
You are a creative and generous genius. Thank you, thank you, thank you❤️
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much for your recipes! I'm vegan, gluten and refined sugar free and have been looking for an alternative to soy and remove oil from my diet! You're cooking hits it out the park! I feel JOY knowing I now have a healthier source for my meals. Many blessings to you!!!❤
You are so welcome!
Excellent video 🎉
Thank you very much!
I finally tried this, and it’s great! The only mistake I made was not putting enough weight to press all water out so it was a bit soft. However, I enjoyed every bite! Thanks
That's great! This is one of the more intimidating dishes to tackle, so I love that you went for it and succeeded! Kudos to you!
I MADE MY OWN!!
Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy it!
@@healthyveganeating it was GREAT the first time. The second time I made it, the milk didn't curdle at all 😩 Going to try again though. 🤞🏾
Thank you soooooo much.. I was looking for alternative to tofu. This is very much appreciated.
Hope you enjoy!
Javant! My Good Man! Authentic Vegan Maestro!
I’m in my kitchen looking at a bowl of sprouted mung beans that normally is used to sprinkle over salads or include in romaine salad wraps!
That said, I’m going to use the remaining portion to create vegan tofu that I have done in recent years!
Tofu has taken a turn for the worse and you have just rescued a population of tofu lovers!
Thunderous applause! Remain phenomenal!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hello! So nice to see your comment ( you know I can hear that intro! ). Yes, there are lots of potential issues with the vast majority of tofu products out here, so ... I made my own, and wanted to share it with the world. Thank you for dropping in, I love hearing from you!
I'm so glad to see some of your recipes. I immediately subscribe, and looking to do more vegan for my health. God Bless.❤
Thank you so much for appreciating and subscribing!
I recently was diagnosed with a few things and they have forced me to give up red meats and pork. My Dr and nutritionist have recommended the vegan lifestyle. I was completely lost for a while after lots of reading and some videos like yours have me feeling much better about the change. my eyes are opened to a entirely new world of cooking. I love to cook I love to eat great food. Healthy is the best way of course and I thought I was eating healthier than I am now I was wrong . Thanks for your videos I appreciate you and the work you put into it
It's my pleasure. I was once in a similar position, that is what inspired me to to share these healthy recipes and information with people like you, so thank you for appreciating my efforts.🙏🏾
I really appreciate your encouraging words, ‘be patient, try to do a good job!’
Thanks, it looks great! I will definitely try it.
Hope you like it!

@@healthyveganeating 😁🙏🏽👍🏼
Thank you so much. I never cared for it, but also was leary to try it as well. Thank you for an introduction to Mung bean, I did not know of that.
You are so welcome!
Just made this! So so good. I used the pulp to make some patties, honestly did not expect it'll taste SO GOOD, taste like beef😂
Glad you liked it!!
I absolutely love your healthy cooking and wonderful technique and teaching style. Thank you very much!!!
You’re welcome! Thank you for appreciating my approach!
