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 😊

[@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.

Thanks for sharing this recipe and for the extra tips. If I ever try this, I will use the suggestions that you gave. When I was a kid, we used to snack on sugar cane almost every day. It grew wild in the mountains where I grew up, so i had access to an abundance of it. Sugar cane cleans the teeth. I had the whitest teeth and never had cavities as a kid. It's ironic how sugar cane in its natural form is excellent for your teeth, but in its granulated form destroys the teeth and causes serious diseases.

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...

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.

Normally I would never watch a 20 minute KZbin video but this particular channel is so educational in a cool way

[@XxSakurafairy24xX]

Your channel always has something unique, interesting, fun....Things you would NEVER see anywhere else. And its always educational. Truly appreciate your channel!

[@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!

[@Br1tt_B]

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

[@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. :)

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

Wrap the gluten meat around first then top it with the tofu skin

[@juliamuth8288]

I thought the exact same thing! And I have successfully used celery as a drumstick "bone" when I made a vegan "turkey" for Christmas one year, so I would use that instead of sugar cane.

This has an asmr effect to it. I really like how you describe textures and tastes and explain details of where the food comes from etc. Your channel is awesome and I hope you keep making these videos! Thank you 💕👑

[@californiapattycakes4417]

You were recommended by Sauce Stache channel. I’ve had these “drumsticks” at my favorite vegan 🌱 restaurant & they are sooo good! The only difference was that when you bite into it even the inside has coloring and flavor. Do you think if adding a bullion to the water when hydrating it would help flavor it better? Can’t wait to try this recipe! 🌱 🍗 😋

Love you Emmy. I am autistic so I would enjoy making these. I love sculpting and repetitive jobs. It's relaxing for me. But I do understand it's not for everyone. You can't be lazy if you want to enjoy the results. 😁 Thank you so much for sharing. I love your channel. I don't think I have commented on your videos in a long while. I just wanted to let you know how I feel. You are awesome 😎.

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!!

Sugar cane is DELICIOUS! I had these since childhood. Here in Brazil we have a beverage called "caldo de cana", the sugar cane juice. Absolutely amazing

[@sundogsun]

same for venezuela! jugo de caña. they usually add lemon too. it’s so delicious, and if you ask nicely, they’ll also give you an actual piece of cane!

[@shawnaokami-rosehill8123]

I have a suggestion, when we constituting the skins use a vegan chicken broth instead of water, and use a vegan chicken bouillon powder to season. I’m hoping you’ll revisit this recipe and try my suggestions. The outcome was absolutely beautiful

[@lindafromcanada7400]

Thank you Emmy! You always have interesting things to show us! You are so sweet and so funny! Love from Canada.

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.

[@sheysmith98]

I have that air fryer. It preheats on its own and lets you know when to add the food. All you've gotta do is set the time and temp up. Hope this helps!

[@KingDomMindset]

Lol I laughed so hard when she pulled out the same airfryer as me! Haha 😂

[@nikholelucas7159]

Seitan wrapped in Tofu Skin might be a good alternative. Seitan has a more chicken-like texture.

[@reikiwithcary2682]

It's difficult to make seitan taste like chicken though... when I used to make my own it never satisfied ...

[@nikholelucas7159]

@Ally Weatherholt a bit more tedious. 😅 But my son would probably enjoy the wrapping part. 👍

[@nikholelucas7159]

@Ally Weatherholt totally agree!! Liquid smoke does wonders!

[@reikiwithcary2682]

@Ally Weatherholt yes... making it taste like beef is easier - I used braggs aminos - back in my day the only one available was the original braggs... the coconut aminos would easily work too...

[@mollyroberts2458]

Or jackfruit???

[@IQzminus2]

These are really cool. I’m not a vegetarian, but there is so many cool and creative techniques you see in vegan and vegetarian recipes, so I often find them very interesting. I think these might be good with a bit more of the chicken-like bullion powder, a bit of MSG, a tiny bit of liquid smoke. A bit of marmite/Vegemite mixed in maybe. Probably won’t taste like chicken, but probably taste good. Maybe in some of the inner layers smear a bit of seasoned coconut fat, sort of like a compound butter, but with a neutral tasting coconut fat. As leg meats tend to be pretty fatty. Ans probably make the tofu appear more juicy, but not as in water juicy.
