[@hayleydid]

I feel like cutting the yuba into quarters and then rolling the thin corner against the sugarcane bone and letting the wide side build up the fat part of the drumstick would make forming them way faster, plus you could brush the seasonings on so you'd have good layers of it rather than concentrated pockets in between the ruffles of the tofu strips. Just a thought maybe 😊

[@sxerosie]

I like the layered idea!

[@pookarah]

I think 8ths might work better than 4ths but other than that yeah that sounds way easier

[@tracyrobinson9442]

Mmm 😋‼️ great idea ‼️🤩

[@SuZiKaT22]

Also, maybe a hybrid version. Use the wheat gluten recipe to form the bulk of the drumstick, but wrap a layer of the tofu skin just around the outside to mimic the chicken skin. So you get more of a meat texture on the inside. Just a thought.

[@juli3361]

@@SuZiKaT22 yes yes there’s actually a restaurant near me that does this and it’s incredible

[@laceypenguin]

My mother used to make this, but didn’t shape the tofu skins into drumstick shapes. They’d be rolled and layered, and then cut into strips. We called it “vegan duck”. And then there’s a stuffed version that has shredded veggies and mushrooms inside that we called “vegan goose”.

[@KateCarew]

@@tarabooartarmy3654 exactly! I don’t eat a lot of meat and it’s likely because there are so many scrummy vegetarian options out there? If someone isn’t a vegetarian there’s literally no reason to skip trying vegetarian and vegan foods, sometimes they’re much much better! At this Thai restaurant by our house you choose your protein and I always pick tofu over beef, pork and chicken and I KNOW friends have thought it was odd, but they haven’t tried it and they don’t know how amazing it tastes :)

These are sold in india at every dairy shops and it's called chaap , we make a curry with it and it can be used as a delicious chicken substitutes in chicken dishes .....I love it Ps:it's not wrapped around sugarcane sticks but some wooden sticks here......that's new

[@SI-ln6tc]

I think its a little different than chaap. Chaap is made with the whole soybean. Yuba its like an extract of soy bean made during tofu making. It has a very meaty texture to it. It floats on top of the tofu.

[@munchkin54]

Not the same thing

[@Idontactuallyknowwhy]

:0 sounds good

[@yulana990]

Completely different thing. Chaap is ground up soybeans that are then mixed with flour to create a dough, tofu skin is literally as the name suggests a type of "skin" or layer that forms on the surface when making tofu.

In Mexico we use fresh sugar cane for christmas "ponche" it's made with winter fruits (one called tejocote that doesn't taste like much and everyone hates it) and it's like a cute garnish that resembles a straw, some people, like me, do chew on it.

[@suzannax]

You've got to love Christmas traditions that no one enjoys, but we just do anyway, cause it wouldn't feel like Christmas without it.

[@edwardhisse2687]

Winter fruit? Like dried fruit?

[@xerogravityy]

@@edwardhisse2687 we refer to it as fruit that is generally only used/ eaten throughout winter - theyre not dried :o. I'm not sure if we do so because its the type of fruit that is only bountiful in the winter but yeee

[@xerogravityy]

Also yea I always wondered why we put tejocote in it! It tastes like nothing at all 😂 but my mom loves it, and tbh even if I don't like it I do miss it when ponche doesn't have it haha

[@adelitaboop2346]

And the pain to remove the skin. But ponche is not the same without tecojote hahah

[@jeffreyshearer8747]

Emmy, do you still have a piece of cardboard inside your air fryer (under the tray)?

[@emmymade]

Yep, whoops! New air fryer. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Celticgirl81]

That’s what I’m seeing

[@hypno92]

@@emmymade i had that same one before i dropped it and broke it. the plastic-y smell is from those little rubber stoppers on the side of the tray that you place the food on. People online said you can remove them and it doesnt impact the use of the air fryer at all. I removed mine and it worked just fine and never smelled anymore plastic

[@amillionemptybranches9553]

I wonder if you reconstituted it in the chicken broth? It would soak that up better maybe

[@cdansou01]

I saw this and thought it was going to catch fire 🔥I’m so glad she saw your comment!

[@sarahvaj6139]

I always find myself coming back to watch this, safe to say that this is probably my comfort video.

[@pairadaseatrice3658]

Love your videos ! Always so entertaining and educational !

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

We have a vegan restaurant in Portland with great faux chicken wings with a sugar cane bone- so delicious. I still want to see you make hamburger helper sushi!!!! I made it on my channel and it’s very wacky!!!!! You will definitely get a kick out of it!! Thanks for being my favorite KZbinr!!!

[@trevor7520]

Woah, can you eat the bone?

[@aidantattoos6065]

Emmys voice is so soothing I always end up binge watching her videos 😌 I love this take on the tofu skin drum sticks I haven’t seen this before even though it’s not new! Such a neat idea. The Sauce Stache did a video of vegan drumsticks with the soy skin, it was a different version/recipe - I love all the combinations you can work with it, I’m excited to try this! Thanks for making this 😌

[@viktormendoza1225]

Love your honesty ❤️

[@AbbyNormalRhodes]

I actually gasped when you took them out, amazing 😍

[@Sabrina-sc1db]

I wonder if anyone here watches to recreate the recipe, or if we are all here for the ride

[@corrine1310]

I like watching her vids, it's so relaxing for some reason.

[@yuwannakno1269]

I did the island cake ! For my niece's first birthday Hawaiian themed,🌋🌺🌸🏵️

[@janeysiegrist5061]

I'm here for the ride 🤣

[@ayato___]

I've tried some of her other recipes, they all turned out wonderful

[@JaneDoe6000]

I made her custard cake!

[@christianjepsen3679]

"How do i describe that flavor? Let me have another bite!"

[@TERRYEE88]

🤣

[@Msapplekawaii]

I can’t wait to try this recipe out. I have vegan chicken stock that I will use to flavor the tofu skin. Also I own the same air fryer. I recommend removing the plastic stoppers from the insert because no matter how many times I used it, it smelt like plastic until I removed the stoppers. Also the air fryer automatically preheats when using. So no need to preheat it manually. Thanks for showing this recipe!

[@cammy1349]

Emmy: …Fresh frozen… Gordon Ramsay: Do I look like a joke to you?

[@SweetUniverse]

I feel like Lassie looking at the piece of cardboard in the air fryer as Emily's loading drumsticks 🤯🤯

[@Freeinthefog]

I’ve tried these at a grocery store deli in Hawaii called Down to Earth. I’m sooo excited to make these myself!! The texture weirdly reminded me of pulled pork. Delicious, but doesn’t taste like meat. So unique and worth trying!

[@jen.morales-correa]

Emmy...I am so grateful for this video, and for this type of content. A wonderful food truck here in New Haven, CT sells these drummies, and I am so madly in love with them. Unfortunately, most of the time that the food truck is open, I am at work =/ If I could manage to pull this off myself, I will make a squeal that will be heard across the country. Thank you so much for offering us meat alternative recipes. It means SO MUCH to people like me!

[@slothy7640]

Emmy: i’ll see you later Me: no you won’t, but i will see you

[@rini6]

I felt like a half portion of bouillion and seasoning was too stingy. I would have added it all. Looks good. But it looks like a bit too much work. Emmy is always willing to put the work in for us. BTW I made the 100 hour brownies. They were amazing.

[@augustjsb]

I'm from a small town named Pahokee. We grow about 75% of sugarcane used in Florida Crystals. My father worked for one of the mills and her would bring whole stocks of cane. My entire family and I would sit on our porch and chew and talk for hours.

[@Parrotgirl-Tattoo]

I live in southeast tampa bay area. We used to grow a patch of sugar cane & it was a yummy snack when I was a kid. We would go out & pick fresh tomatoes off the vine & stand in the middle of the farm eating them. Anyway, one day my sister's horses got out & ate the sugar cane to the ground. And it never grew back lol. Good memories. :)

[@brenthan800]

5:20 she is able to figure out the spices just by smelling it if you asked me I would have said “ mmmh nesquick powder no doubt”

[@alexhernandez4670]

I wish I was excited about anything the way Emmy is excited about these tofu skins ♥️

[@VaBarbie187]

Everytime I watch a Emmy video, I just think of how blessed her kids are to have her as their mom❤

[@strangulator42]

I am instantly reminded of that episode of Seinfeld where George makes "pudding skin singles" and carries them around in his pockets lol

[@Loungelizardatwar]

Yes 😂 Have you seen Binging with Babish’s video about them? He recreated the singles in real life

[@IJustWantToUseMyName]

My ex loved pudding skin, so when we first got married in 1990, I used to make homemade cooked pudding and pour it in thin amounts into multiple pie plates so he could have pudding skins for dessert. People used to think I was weird for doing it. I really laughed when watching that episode of Seinfeld a few years later! It was weird, but it wasn’t ridiculous as George!!

[@alisa.maks26]

@@IJustWantToUseMyName if that’s not love then i don’t know what is 😍

[@sophiew1967]

That's incredible! The milk skin when it came out the package looks very like filo pastry..cannot believe I've been a strict vege since 1977 since I.was10 yrs old have never seen anything like this ...seitan I've become good at making this is something else !

[@SnowdropWood]

Glancing at the thumbnail, I legit thought Emmy was dancing the can-can! That was a surreal 5 seconds.

[@Carefulwiththataxejs81]

Seeing sugar cane reminds me of my childhood. We had laotion neighbors who had a huge garden with the best sweet corn ever, peppers, and sugar cane. They would cut a stalk of it for my sister and me and we would chew on it. It was wonderful!

[@MojitoMouse]

Omg, went "Oh no!!!" so many times, there's some cardboard in the bottom of the air fryer, I am so glad it didn't catch fire! :O

[@nikkijonkman4917]

And she held the airfryer open for soooo long after preheating it😂😭

[@MaxOakland]

Wow you have sharp eyes

[@Florenstiya]

this looks really good! yummmm

[@davegoesthedistance]

I like the little glass used for the chicken-less seasoning powder. I wonder if Emmy uses different cookware on camera versus when cooking off-camera.

[@TheWorryingWolverine]

Hmmm, what about slightly seasoning the layers before wrapping them around the stick? Would that work as well? Had another idea, how about adding some cheese or very thinly sliced vegetables into those layers?

[@gozerthegozarian9500]

It's tofu in thin sheets, and tofu is basically a spice delivery medium, so yeah, more spice/marinading should be the answer...

[@cheezicle6690]

@@gozerthegozarian9500 marinating them seems like a great idea

[@alisa.maks26]

Or even soaking them in broth instead of water

[@TheWorryingWolverine]

Yep, may be Emmy could try marinating them in another video, and test how those taste...

[@dany-si9bq]

so happy to hear you’re still keeping bees, emmy!! i really enjoyed those videos :)

[@katiea.584]

The best part is your honesty about the flavour of the end result of the faux meat recipes. Thank you

this is so calming

[@BrendonLee]

I freaking love tofu skins. When I was a student I always had a bag of them and add them to my instant noodles for protein.

[@hl6765]

I’m from Louisiana and when I was growing up there were sugar cane fields all around us. Almost every day during the growing season we would grab a stalk of sugar cane, cut it up, peel it, and suck the sugar out. It was such a treat.

[@Dima-Dimalicious]

I'm from Louisiana as well and this brought back sweet childhood memories of sugar cane.
