Tofu that looks like Chicken Meat | How to make Tofu "Meat" | Crispy Tofu Katsu Recipe

I tried this yesterday and it turned out super delicious! My family also loved it (: Thank you!!

[@HealthyFoodiePH]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@megan9180]

@@GreyWhiteBlue I personally didn’t think it was mushy! Though, since I’m vegan, I did not use egg. Instead, I made a coating using flour and water as a substitute. I don’t know whether it affected the texture, but it worked just fine and still very delicious (: In case if you’re (or anyone here is) vegan, you can make it by just mixing equal parts flour and water! (I added some black pepper and salt to it.)

[@megan9180]

@@GreyWhiteBlue Right. I wonder why...

[@HealthyFoodiePH]

Hi, depending on the quality of the tofu, you may also want to try to double freeze it after every thawing and pressing your tofu 😊

[@squidling_9851]

@@GreyWhiteBlue question what firmness of tofu did you use? That might be it. For chewier items I hear super firm tofu is the best to use

[@parkerdinhwilliams15]

No need to use eggs. I usually use a vegan yogurt like oat or soy yogurt, mixed with a little bit of water and some black salt, and it makes a perfect dredge.

[@kk261985]

great! good to know. i am intollerant to eggs so I was thinking how to replace them 🧐. Thanks for the tip

[@bonnie_gail]

thank you !!

[@LifeInTheROK]

Thank you!

[@artur6682]

Please use lots of eggs and real chicken

[@littlemissink]

Chickpea flour works great too! Gotta have that kala namak.

[@discovoid5357]

Important to note that the tofu you need to get this texture is I believe called 'Silken Firm' not the usual Firm Tofu available in most shops in the UK, for example, which goes spongey.

[@ScarlettKitsune]

You should be able to get this texture with Cauldron brand tofu. I've had a lot of success with it.

[@HealthyFoodiePH]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊

[@ceniloar]

You might be able to get a similar effect by freezing the tofu first

[@blaze5847]

@@ceniloar My understanding is that freezing the tofu has more to do with drawing out moisture and firming it up. The ice formation also makes it separate into chunks more readily. The flaky texture on the other hand is due to how the bean curd is pressed. It just comes down to trying the same or similar firmness with different brands, and inspecting their texture. (Mary's test kitchen recommended looking for tofu that's labeled as traditional style)

[@HealthyFoodiePH]

Freezing, thawing and pressing it twice or 3 times will get that super flaky texture 😊

[@MrNestaya]

Delicious recipe. For those who are wondering, it is indeed "firm tofu" and not "silken tofu" but not that of your Biocoop like those in Europe. This tofu is too compact. This is "Asian" firm tofu that you will only find in the Asian supermarket. This firm tofu is soaked in a liquid and can be bought in the chilled section. I struggled to find the right tofu to find this texture :) For vegetarians you can replace the anchovy worcestershire sauce with balsamic vinegar and tamarind paste (in equal measure) which gives almost the same taste. The eggs can be replaced by flour and water in equal parts too... For better flavors soak the tofu for a good half hour in a cold vegetable broth before pressing it first.

The intro - That tofu "chicken" looks so much like the real thing !

[@parkerdinhwilliams15]

Great recipe (minus the eggs)! Personally I soak the tofu in vegetable broth for a few minutes after getting all the water out and it sucks up all that flavor. Then when you bite in, its like juicy meat.

[@HealthyFoodiePH]

Thanks for this tip! Several years ago I discovered that cooking with vegetable broth (and especially reducing the broth through simmering) is the secret to developing amazing flavor in so many of the dishes I cook. But I never would’ve thought about soaking tofu in broth. I’ll definitely follow your suggestion.

Just to confirm, regular tofu is "soft" tofu and not "firm" tofu? That's the problem I'm afraid of having and the tofu chicken recipe. I can't get same level of texture as shown, when I press/freeze/press, the tofu texture is more like a sponge full of holes.

Thanks for sharing. Excellent! Not because it looks like chicken (which I have never tasted, and don't care to) BUT because of the extra excess water that freezing will eliminate. Will this work with any Tofu type? Firm or Extra firm? I will try this trick to make my Tofu-Matar(Peas) or Tofu-Palak (Spinach) Tikka. These curries are usually made with Paneer (Indian Cheese), but Tofu offers a healthier alternative. For vegetarian option, I will make an Arroroot or Cornstarch slurry instead of using eggs. Thanks, again.

Hi! Varieties of tofu either firm, soft, silken soft really varies per region and term. I recommended to find the soft tofu (texture should be like feta cheese). In our region we call that as regular tofu, others were korean silken, soft silken 😊
