[@eaconnerart]

I like to kick it up a notch :)

[@pattiwilkins2012]

I'm definitely a spice queen😊

[@user-cd1xv2yj2h]

My two (almost three year-old) son loves your videos!! We always get excited to watch a new one together! As you were cutting the broccoli he said “where the garlic go?” He was just waiting for you to chop some garlic! He also loves when you find the “leetle whisk” thank you for making such lovely videos! This recipe looks delicious!! My son also said “ooh tofu! That look really good!”

[@vanessasworder]

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

I made it for dinner tonight! It was fantastic!! I made it oil free and instead added sesame seeds to the tofu and broccoli before baking.

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 really!!! simply amazing! 🫶🏾❤️

[@Cinephile-gy6fb]

sesame seeds for the win!

[@debbiewalker4]

Thank you for the oil free and salt free suggestions. I love your recipes. I’m trying this tonight. It looks amazing.

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 🙌🏾 hope you enjoy!!

[@SerJorahBorealis]

100% am a spice queen. My wife is more of a spice princess, so I always tone down 2ish notches 😆 I just wanted to say, your videos are so well done. The way you put the whole recipe/cooking part at the beginning, with notes and explanations at the end, is clever and gives an excellent flow. Lastly, your "considerations" aka the alternatives for low sodium/too busy/soy free etc etc are so cool. I love that you make your recipes versatile for different diets/lifestyles/moods. I love to cook, and my favorite part is having the confidence and know-how to make adjustments on the fly, depending on this or that. You capture that spirit with these "considerations", and I'm sure you inspire many to have that confidence to try new things. All that is to say: you are very good at what you do. Can't wait to try this recipe. 💚

[@Manuseine]

I'm going to subscribe to you now, I have to translate everything, but your way of cooking is worth it. Thanks

Found you a short time ago. I’m a meat eater but my daughter in law is not. Always looking for new recipes. Love watching you cook. Enjoyable to watch, great instruction, love the discussion. Great job!

[@CorgisDrippinInFinesse]

Yum! This looks just like my favorite order from my local Thai restaurant, Tofu Pad Gra Tiem. Been getting this for 20 years, never tried to make it on my own. Looks delicious, thank you!

[@dropthebom]

Made it last night, worked out great. If you wanted super crispy tofu you could do a deeper fry in a pan of oil and some more cornstarch on the tofu. As it was, I definitely got the takeout feeling. When are yall publishing a cookbook? Thanks for the vid

[@nenairby3349]

Hi Andrew. I really enjoy watching you cook. I look forward to watching it on Sunday with mom. 😊❤😋

[@jenniferblair7579]

This was right on time. I can’t wait to try your recipe!!!

[@greymatters7039]

You had me at sesame oil and brown sugar. 😋 okay, garlic, onions and frying are always a 👍.

[@lynneviti5124]

I love spice as does my husband. Thank you for the recipe. We really enjoy them. Also, how about some tempeh recipes.

[@thenarddogcooks]

im still trying to warm up to tempeh. im such a texture nerd and the texture on it is very different!

[@amcmillion3]

This looks so good. I can't wait to try it.

[@francestinney6336]

I just made this and it's wonderfully flavorful

[@Cinephile-gy6fb]

ooooh also looks like I need to test this out on an air fryer!

[@thenarddogcooks]

good choice!

[@Cinephile-gy6fb]

thanks!@@thenarddogcooks

[@azlizzie]

Oh! I have all the ingredients for this one. Thanks for the inspiration. Going to try it tomorrow

[@neeleyfolk]

This looks excellent, have always love tofu & broccoli but can't stir fry because I have an electric stove. The baked roasted broccoli must add a great taste .

[@evoz4489]

I would like to know how much plant protein you need to eat to get the physique that you have. You need a calorie surplus to gain muscle. Would love to see what you eat in a day to build/maintain the muscle mass. Great videos!

[@Pumpkinnan]

Goodness I wait Sunday mornings checking my phone! 😂🤷‍♀️ little late today making pancakes for grandson . This weeks offer has hit everything I have on hand for dinner. No store runs to finish…in fact the broccoli was just asking me for a chance to shine. Thanks Andrew, especially appreciate your musings at the end for extra options…showing that yes, you can vary what’s done easily for your needs. 🙏🏻🫶🏻

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 gotta love when you already have everything you need to get started!

[@nsbd90now]

I wish there was a take-out place near me that made the food I've seen you make. I'm not an actual vegetarian, much less vegan, but all that kind of food has gotten really, really good since I was a kid 50 years ago when there was only yogurt and granola.

[@triplzer0]

Absolutely gunna make this soon

[@selenaplans]

Just made this! 😲 so delicious!

[@sarahhagen2051]

Looks delicious 😋

[@milling37]

Looks delish,Spice Queen here.. I like freah peppers, though👍😋..What kind of rice do u use?

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 basmati brown rice, queen! ❤️

[@milling37]

@thenarddogcooks Good to know.. I never knew they had Basmati Brown Rice.I will have to look for that. Thanks👍😊

[@christophers_youtube]

Oh wow omg yes

[@PeiPeisMom]

LOL, I accidentally made something VERY similar, almost identical, last night for dinner because I had all the ingredients and wasn't sure what to make! I do remember thinking when adding the garlic, "how much would Nard Dog put?" Only difference was I used maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Great minds think alike 😄

[@thenarddogcooks]

😂 thats so awesome!! 🙌🏾

[@queenb5913]

I really want to like tofu but I’ve heard that it takes on the flavor of what you cook it with. Is this true? I’m really trying to be healthier and I’m still working out the kinks. But I have definitely felt better since cutting out meat and chicken. I’m sure you hear this a lot but I enjoy watching your videos. They give me that ASMR hit.

[@Livv_it_is]

Thanks for the oil free suggestions!! The meal looks delicious! really appreciated! The tofu would also work in the air fryer, right? :)

[@thenarddogcooks]

right!!

[@stephaniejenkins2771]

Love your channel.! What brand soy sauce do you recommend for your recipes?

[@thenarddogcooks]

thank you! 20 - 25 mins. i updated in the recipe on my site! makeitdairyfree.com/black-pepper-tofu/#recipe

[@Chimpokoman]

I know you said the toasted sesame oil is a key component, but my wife is allergic. Any alternatives?

[@miseentrope]

toasted sunflower seed (or pepitas) oil?

[@thenarddogcooks]

good question! peanut oil or or another toasted seed oil works. If not, it wouldn't be completely derail anything. I made this with olive oil the first time i was testing and the family loved it. the toasted sesame oil was just one of those moments that after you tasted the recipe made with it, you would be like "ummm... had no idea it could be even better than the first time".

[@calex9398]

Mmm black pepper chicken 😋 Wait! Hey! 😂

[@thenarddogcooks]

😂 🙌🏾 🙌🏾

[@kymesue9575]

Im just learning, I cant have meat any longer. What are the differences between vegan, vegetarian and plant based?

[@Fusimaster]

How long do you bake the broccoly and tofu? 30min?

[@AndSarahAppeared]

❤❤❤

[@kateburk2168]

Vegetarianism & Veganism is about good health. A number of years ago, I learned in a lecture that the human body is unable to digest black pepper so it collects in the gallbladder. When I learned that, I never used it again because I knew of family members that had their gallbladder removed AND they used black pepper with a heavy hand. It doesn't mean my food is bland by any means. I add cayenne &/or red pepper 🌶 flakes, instead. Oh, white pepper is merely bleached black pepper.

[@petergreening4810]

Actually, you are incorrect. While white and black pepper corns start out the same, they are picked at different times of ripeness and processed differently. Also, there is no bleach used in the processing of the white pepper.

[@thenarddogcooks]

thanks for sharing! my understanding is that eating "too much" of anything can be bad for you. black pepper its self is great and much better than its best friend salt. i believe this cant go for everyone as everybody is different. In my research, black pepper used in moderation is a good thing. also Vegetarianism & Veganism is a choice many folks have made for various reasons. health is certainly one but not solely.

[@kloverend]

Do you have the recipe written?

[@thenarddogcooks]

yes its on my website! here is the link makeitdairyfree.com/black-pepper-tofu/

[@nenairby3349]

Okay. When I figure out how to do it. Lol

[@peterhvan]

how long to roast tofu ??? why just dont write it when its happening ?

[@thenarddogcooks]

20 - 25 mins. thanks for the feedback

[@moorpinklillies2152]
