I wanted to make a super juicy, meaty, textured piece of tofu that could be given the name A5 Tofu Wagyu... and I think I nailed it!!
This is a combination of tofu and seitan or wheat meat and WOW does it come out meaty!

So I know this one is a long process. I always enjoy it but I know a lot of people wish things were easier. Maybe some steps could be shortened, or omitted, but I think it all adds to the realism. What should I try next?

[@ladylm100]

Why don’t you try it with the jack fruit? Since it has the fibers you may be able to accomplish the actual look of the steak. I tried the jack fruit - not the pulp but the fiber part to make pulled chicken and it came out pretty good 😊

I realize it is asking for the moon but a gluten free steak for my friend would be Amazing.

I did something somewhat similar by layering gluten powder between tofu skins and scrunching them up before boiling away vegan chicken broth. It was very meat like. It broke up the caked texture seytan can have.

[@teenydragons1400]

I really enjoy all of your videos, there is so much I want to try. I'm thinking in my experiments I would want to try breaking up the initial tofu block to see if more surface area would capture more flavor. I also want to try your magnet method to extract iron for this recipe.

[@mccauleyconor]

Oh man! This one blew my mind! This technique of layering the vwg with the tofu is fascinating! Do you think if you put the tofu in a food processor you'd get more even marbling? It looks great either way!

Brilliant work on this "steak"! Crack me up every time I see someone rant about it... Just a question, couldn't be possible to infuse the meaty coloration all the way through? I think it would sell the meat aspect more.

Leghemoglobin is protected by US patent law, so you aren't really able to buy non animal derived food grade hemoglobin in its pure form. Impossible foods is going to have an effective monopoly on leghemoglobin in food for a decent while.
