4 easy side dishes with Tofu 〜豆腐副菜四種〜 (Vegan/Vegetarian) | easy Japanese home cooking recipe

In this video, I am showing how make 4 easy side dishes using Tofu:
1. Hiyayakko (cold Tofu)
2. Shiraae
3. Tofu Champloo (Champuru)
4. Agedashi-Tofu

Tofu is often known as a substitute for meat for vegetarian/vegans. But Tofu is much more than that; with quality Tofu, you can really enjoy the sweetness of the soy beans. These recipes are all quite popular in Japanese homes.
In my Channel, I show step by step of alternative but authentic Japanese home cooking, which can be made with the ingredients that are easily available outside of Japan.

Silken tofu is what we may call a "custard" consistency-- think of dishes like flan, or even jello honestly. For friends in the US looking for the other tofu taiji used, get the least firm tofu at the store that is one step above the silken level. For example, 2/5 firmness if it has a scale on the packaging; this may just be called "firm... do not get "extra firm" for these dishes if possible. That one is usually vacuum packed and while we only had that one when we went vegan, it is a total disservice to tofu to never try the softer ones THEY ARE SO GOOD!! Have fun on your tofu journey everyone!

[@taijiskitchen]

Thank you so much for your additional info!!

[@sircomrade5666]

Your channel is sooo underrated. I love your recipies and hope you keep making these videos

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

I think many Americans are changing their understanding about tofu and see it as a delicious ingredient on its own and not just as a meat substitute that’s bland and boring. We also have access to freshly made tofu in urban, culturally diverse areas. We may be late to the beany goodness scene, but we are catching up.

[@MorticiaLaMourante]

Thank you so much, Taiji! Please share more vegan and vegetarian Japanese dishes.

[@madeleineg2049]

I just tried Tofu-Champloo. It was great. Thanks for the recipes.

[@pennyauburn848]

[@friedajones2528]

I have made your recipes part of my routine, especially for breakfast. You are appreciated! I’m 70 and breaking habits that originated from oppression in the south when many black Americans depended upon products that were cheap and high in animal fat.❤

[@johnbrazell2433]

The last two look the best to me. I would probably try those two first. Thank you for the tofu recipes ideas. I must say that was a lot of food though. I don't know that I could eat that much

[@sjplanslife]

Thanks for sharing this! I always love your videos where you make multiple recipes with one ingredient. Agedashi tofu is one of my favorites so thank you for that! Also, not sure why, but I just really love your intro of you putting on your kimono hehe

[@EFergDindrane]

[@11fasteddie]

Just love your clean edits and presentations, thumbs up, one of the best I've seen !

[@shaazde]

How useful it was. Please make some videos about foods we can make with tofu. I only know teriyaki with tofu

[@TheMovingEye]

If you haven't already, try the smoked tofu from a discounter like Aldi, Penny or Lidl, do not buy the overpriced ones, especially not the ones with stuff like sesame or other marinades. It's still not what most asians would regard as tofu but if you marinate it with Maggi or Soy Sauce you get an incredibly tasty block of ... something XD

[@PabloBridge]

nice

[@katiacarvalho6618]

😋😋

[@korrin1192]

[@Nonessential888]

Thank you! Please make a video on knife sharpening. Thanks.

[@laurene2586]

I love tofu, especially the soft tofu. My favorite is butadofu. Your vegetarian dishes look delicious.

[@taijiskitchen]

cool!! what's Butadofu? I don't know that...

[@laurene2586]

@@taijiskitchen It's a dish containing sliced pork, soft tofu, green onions, onions seasoned with shoyu, sugar, mirin. I wonder if this is an Americanized dish? We grew up with this dish served with rice.

[@Hulamonkeydancer]

Wow 😮 I learned a lot about tofu from this video, and it answered my inner questions. First, you read my mind at the beginning of the video lol creeper 😋 However, in all seriousness, I didn't realize that when I've used tofu in the past, my technique was all wrong, explaining why my dishes would be awful. Since I did it all wrong, I'd given up on tofu and didn't think to ever eat it again. But after this video, I'm going to give it another go. Danke Taiji-san ❤️ Questions: You broke up the tofu in the pan after putting it in the oil; wouldn't it have been better to break it up at the beginning and dry it out in the towel? How are you able to eat so much and stay fit? Do you exercise regularly or intermittent fasting?

[@Shuggies]

👌😋👌 Don't suppose you are looking for a wife are you ?? Lol. Live these recipies.. thanks for sharing your recipe with us 😊

[@JAnNa-_-]

Ich gebe dir recht... der " Tofu" den du hier im Supermarkt bekommst ist furchtbar 😖 ich suche immer noch einen Laden in der Nähe, der Seidentofu oder den gepressten Tofu verkauft aber hier was zu finden ist schwierig 😅 und so langsam fehlt mir der Tofu in der Misosuppe 😔 ( P.s. Danke für das Rezept 😁 die mach ich mir öfter)

(Translation: These tofu side dishes are a wonderful choice that praises animal liberation!) Come check me out for that fresh vegan radiation!!

[@smoothride7841]

With dashi it can't be vegan.....

[@manuelponce2257]

Dashi can be made with Kombu seaweed, shitake mushrooms or both, and is 100% vegan. Tuna flakes are optional
