Potter, you mentioned somewhere about wishing there was another tofu-like food made from something other than soy, I believe. I've often wondered why some genius hasn't made one out of other beans :?

I think I'm gonna give it a try as soon as I start eating cooked food more regularly again...thanks a bunch...if I can get it down it will be a nice treat for my soy-alergic friends that are vegan and a way to entice people that are alergic to soy to go vegan

you can do a very similar thing using fava bean flour
it has a stronger taste, but it's worth trying

i know you can probably do something like this with golden pea flour, and you can definitely make most adzukis do this. i'm not sure about black, but red, green, and white adzukis will all do a similar thing.
(green adzukis are what a lot of people know as mung beans)

i'm sure there would be a way to mix konnyaku (a tofu-like yam gel) into a bean mix and make a tofu like dish. though it will be a different texture. but perhaps freezing it and then cooking it will change the texture.

i'm sure the adzukis would work, because in japan they make miso out of chickpeas and red adzuki beans also. (soy free) the miso man has a chickpea miso available that they sell in a lot of whole foods markets. i like it a lot.
