- Add the lentils with the 3 cups of water to a high-speed blender
- Transfer the blended mix to a pot and bring to a boil. reduce heat and stir until the mixture thickens to a smooth paste.
- Pour the mixture into a glass or silicon container. Move to the fridge with out a lid on to allow to cool and set. The longer you leave it to set the firmer the tofu. I left it overnight then airfried before adding it to a stirfry.
