We're not vegan but we're moving towards a more plant-based diet. However, you guys are definitely getting me interested and curious about vegan recipes!

[@cw4608]

Kung Pao tofu is delicious and so are black bean and tofu burrito filling.

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Our family also.

[@Raddiebaddie]

How’s it going

[@gracea4229]

I agree 👍.

[@AmandaS18]

I just used your tofu taco meat recipe for dinner tonight, delicious

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Yay! So glad you enjoyed.

[@terid2401]

I make a delicious Key lime pie with silken tofu....my Dad is a meat and potato guy but he did tried the pie and loved it, he always says can you make that cheese cake again ...who am I to correct him.💜

[@TXRhody]

For the tofu bacon, try using a wire cheese slicer. It makes the slices thin and uniform.

[@auntletha]

I been addicted to tofu puffs tossed in buffalo sauce, sprinkle with everything bagel seasonings and cooked in the air fryer. Silken tofu is good for tofu scramble too. You freeze it 1st and then squeeze out the liquid and add to a pan with little cashew cream or plant base milk and other seasonings.

[@willstegall2527]

Perfect timing....I have a block of frozen tofu that I wanted to use and needed some inspiration!!

[@tanyamireles-carriere7431]

The chicken karaage looked amazing!!!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Thank you! We hope you love it.

[@richardnorris7948]

I went to a Yuba Seike restaurant Kyoto, Japan where every dish was tofu-based. It was a seven course gourmet meal. I especially love the sheets of tofu skin! So versatile!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Thanks Jasmine & Chris for sharing this amazing how to use Tofu video for inspiration. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕❤Jasmine & Chris.

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

You are so welcome!

[@veganlunchmom]

They all look delicious 😋 I love how tofu can be used for so many different things.

[@Spookdog]

one of my favorite super lazy recipes with tofu is to use silken tofu, slice it up, cover with soy sauce and sesame oil to taste and eat with rice and/or veggies. got it from cheaplazyvegan and it's soo good when I'm craving tofu but don't feel like cooking or just want to eat it cold.

[@dianefuller3242]

Excited to try the tofu bacon. Have failed at rice paper bacon more times than I can count.

[@joeb4142]

Same 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

The tofu musubi was SO GOOD! And I really want to try that mousse! I tried to make choc mousse with aquafaba once and it was kinda a fail 😂 but the texture of yours looks perfect.

[@Ritsei]

We made it and it's so delicious! My husband, who is NOT a tofu-eater, lol, loved it and even made it himself once when he was craving it.

[@gabriellagrafakos7161]

I wanna try using the silken tofu in my chia pudding for some extra protein 🤔😋

[@Mellymel355]

love the fun facts!!!

[@katherynshiflet5391]

I loved these recipes so much. I don't or didn't use tofu in my diet ....but will from now on as this gave we me some really good ideas. Thank you.

[@jjheartscows]

I love all of these recipes!

[@SK-ki1te]

Awesome! Very well rounded selection!Thx!

[@ontime3462]

Definitely gonna try a few of these recipes. Many thx.😊

[@MichaelToub]

Great Video!!

[@Pinupred21]

Your egg salad recipe was life changing. Thank you❤

[@beebeen9882]

Thank you for this video! I think these recipes will convert me. I've struggled with preparing tofu and was about to give up!

[@beadyr4810]

So glad I found your video. I’m thinking about an egg salad burrito ❤

[@kecrn4132]

I made the mousse! Can’t wait to try it! Also made the fajita meal prep from last week and was fabulous!

[@mindygeist7157]

Thanks y’all! Having so many tofu choices is intimidating.thanks for breaking it down!

[@KimofCoventry]

My husband loves musubi and I need to master the tofu to get rid of the cans of spam in my pantry! Will be nice for me to enjoy musubi too! Will be a real personal win if I can make it happen.

[@BS-j1965]

Hi guys🙋🏻I just found your channel and am so excited👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I like tofu so much but my husband won’t have anything to do with it so I thought “fine you eat what you want I’m tired of eating food that degrades my health anymore then it already is🤣🤣🤣I’m a 77 year old woman and I was a vegetarian in the 70’s and 80’s got divorced and my two girls went vegetarian. Then years later I met my present husband and after two years slowly went back to eating animals😡!! So here you are and I’m ready to go back to eating a healthier foods. Thanks for sharing.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@joeb4142]

One of the joys of getting older is that you can do pretty much anything you want 😊

[@thisgoldenhome]

Thank you for the recipe research it takes to make one of these videos! I am actually excited to try all of these, but especially the bacon sammie! YUM :)

[@CrimsonHellkite]

excited to try your fried tofu. It looks so much easier.

[@Kathryn721]

These all look so good, especially the musubi!

[@DoniSewell]

Those all look great.

[@robertalynch5433]

I can't wait to try the musubi

[@smittball]

Made the chocolate mousse tonight and it was FABULOUS 🎉🎉🎉

[@charitygamble]

Definitely trying the tofu bacon.

[@alexandratremols1507]

The chocolate mousse and fried tofu are what I want to try the most! But it all looks amazing.

[@hubcitygirl1757]

New subscriber and all look great!

[@atosayshey]

Thank you!

[@patriciad.5941]

Great video, guys! I really want to try all of these recipes 🤤🥰💚

[@shippermd]

I am Soy-Free. So I am gonna use PUMFU vs Tofu (A pumpkin seed based Tofu). Will you guys PLEASE make a review vid using Pumfu?! Puhleeeezze? 🙂

[@totjazzy2198]

I just made the tofu (spam) musubi. It turned out great. Thanks!

[@cw4608]

I am going to try the karaage for sure

[@jasonbean2764]

The desert looks incredible!:)

[@Jay-xz6rw]

I am trying to crossover to tofu, and this video gave me a lot of ideas😊 Never had it, but knowing how it absorbs flavors well makes it a great item to experiment with.

[@janegardner604]

I was just saying bro my husband that I need a good tofu bacon substitute recipe! Can’t wait to try all of these!

[@jorgealves8578]

Thanks very much for your advises on Tofu. It's a great help for my kitchen. Cheers!

[@InkCat44]

Everything looks amazing as always! I love all of your videos but this was especially helpful as I’m never sure what to make with tofu besides tofu scramble. Thank you Jasmine & Chris ☺️

[@ironrose888]

Thank you for sharing these recipes. I want to try the tofu eggless salad. I miss egg salad sandwiches.

[@theeclecticabroad1803]

Yummy! I want to try the tofu bacon, tofu karaage, and tofu egg salad recipes. Thanks for sharing!

[@PBandJames1]

I love that method for making fried chicken style tofu, I'll have to try it with the karaage flavors! The musubi is exciting too.

[@sweetcrimson]

I’m going to make the tofu musubi and bacon for sure.

[@solstice5975]

You guys are the best ! Thank you , thank you for these wonderful recipes! I have only made tofu scramble and oven baked tofu. I didn’t know I could do so much more . I’m so excited to make these delicious things! Know that you are making an impact on the health and ultimate well being of others💜

[@LinetteKendrick-zi7fm]

I really liked all of your recipes 😊 My favorite one is the fried tofu. I want to try it along with the egg salad sandwich recipe ❤

[@dianamark649]

Tofu musubi?!?? I can’t wait - I’m on it! I’ve missed Spam so much but now I don’t have to - woot! Thank you!

[@channelldaniels594]

Love you,Bless you

[@ashleyadams6803]

First time watching, I’ve never tasted tofu but I’m starting a new diet for arthritis. You both seem very knowledgeable and I love the fact you are both low key. I’ve subscribed! Looking forward to watching all your videos.

[@vickyrafael1]

Happy with your 2 raw vegan recipes of the egg salad and the chocolate mouse. If you ever have more RAW tofu recipes I'm looking forward. Thanks

[@elissadavis5657]

U can even chop these up & add these to yur salad….LOVE yur channel !!!

[@reginawheeler966]

Excellent. Dessert and the Egg Sandwich and of course I don't mind your BLT Sandwich 🥪 as well.

[@ste-jo5867]

Hi guys .Found your great channel here.I am from germany and just started beeing vegan.Found here so much inspirations from you great guys.All the best for you from cologne,germany.Thank you so much.Stefan

[@dwalker6868]

Thank you

[@KimofCoventry]

You said sponge and I said exactly! Ick. I'm definitely going to try your bacon. I like it done with tempeh. The musubi! I have all to make it, even the press. I keep buying tofu and trying. Only way I loved it was in a chocolate pie.😊 will keep trying!

[@rosamariasolanolarranaga5134]

Gracias desde 🇲🇽

[@n22pdf]

Great info guys.. just came across the channel.. subscribed :) Pete

[@mariebourgot4949]

Thank you! :)

[@Funfettiwitch]

yasss i am a tofu stan!!

[@Rxmexalxne]

Tofu is the BEST

[@vduback]

You’ve convinced me to try sweet tofu. Can you provide the whip cream details? Homemade or store bought?

[@mzoesp]

Thanks for the recipes. When water freezes it crystalizes and expands. It is the ice crystals that alter the texture of the tofu when you freeze it. Ciao!

[@kerripedersen9542]

Great video! I've never seen super-firm tofu in the stores where I live, so I'm wondering if double freezing extra firm tofu might work for the bacon. I'm totally going to make the chocolate mousse. I have some silken tofu in the fridge, and I'm loving the simplicity of your recipe. Thank you for the pressing tip using the tofu packaging. I never thought to do that!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Trader Joe’s has super firm tofu.

[@sarahenriquez1994]

Thank you for the awesome tofu tips! Have you ever tried to make the bacon in the oven on parchment paper instead of using oil? Just wonder if it would work

[@sunnygirl5467]

Everything looks amazing, would love to try🥹🌱sadly here in Europe there is not such a big variety in tofu🥺 only one I can get is firm and the prices are rising🥲 there is no asian store near me and I can only find silken tofu there🫠 but I guess you can also make all the recipes with „normal“ tofu, but of course the texture will be different🥺

[@aprildriesslein5034]

Silken tofu is also great for smoothies. I don't like the way banana will take over the flavor, and I don't like to use dairy. The tofu adds thst nice creaminess and lets the fruit flavor shine through.

[@emilyivey1152]

My goal is to go vegan this upcoming week. Advice?

[@flowerpie]

When I went vegan 3 years ago, I ate all the same things only veganised, with everything available today that's super easy. I now moved on and have many different things that I'd never tried before that I eat regularly, becoming vegan actually broadened my food horizons 😁😋. Finding which vegan milks you like and what works best in tea, coffee, over cereal etc is the challenge 😁😃.

[@MichaelJohnson-qe3is]

Do you guys have a vegan kimchi recipe? I'm new to your platform. Thanks

[@alizastrock4841]

that karaage tofu tho 😍👌🏼 also Jasmine do you know if the Billie razor is recycled plastic? I’ve used a metal razor for years but I never leave the shower without tiny cuts up and down my legs 😂

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I think the karaage can be called double double tofu karaage because you freeze it twice and deep fry it twice.

[@smily1110]

If you stack heavy objects ontop of the tofu. It will fall off! I found the best way to press the tofu is to get 2 matching plastic containers. Put the tofu in the bottom container. Fill the 2nd container with water and put the lid on it and place it on top of the tofu. Obviously, don't put the lid on the container holding the tofu.

[@trudybongers3534]

What a beautiful people you are inside and outside 😻🥰😍

[@elissadavis5657]

This is absolutely the B E S T video yuv ever M A D E !!……W O W !!

[@therehastobesomethingmoore]

Ok, living in Nicaragua and it isn’t easy to find tofu all the time. Learning to make lentil tofu. Can I use that with these recipes ?

[@Raddiebaddie]

Yum yum yum

[@Ritsei]

When you freeze and thaw the medium-firm tofu, I noticed you leave it in the original packaging. After thawing the first time, do you just refreeze again in the same package? Or take it out and remove the water first before freezing again?

[@lloritoovidexequield.8609]

Hi, if I cannot find super firm tofu (only firm where I live), do I need to press (and how long should I press it) and drain before making any of the recipes?

[@therehastobesomethingmoore]

Looks great. Tofu salad is also getting chopped olives.

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Can you recommend a sake for cooking. they say not $$$ and not cheap, but to choose one of medium quality. For the Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse, don't you drain the liquid from the box off?

[@Southernolives]

How long does the vegan egg salad last like for meal prep?

[@michaelbellonis]

Are there any plans for measurement specific recipes? I’d love to follow along in detail, but trying to eyeball how much of things to put in makes me anxious!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

All of the full recipes are on our blog linked in the description :)

[@channelldaniels594]

I add vegan chicken seasonong oooo sooo good.

[@AcousticWisdom]

How does your mousse compare to a vegan chocolate petite pot pudding?

[@melissaamoranto9336]

Thank you ~ wish this was a week ago lol all of mine just expired because I didn’t know what to do with it 😂

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

haha oh no!!

[@michaelhabony7185]

What is that little torch you're using to melt the cheese in the egg salad recipe? It is not on your amazon link. thanks

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

It’s a brûlée torch! Here’s a link to similar one that we have amzn.to/3SZ7SBW

[@lisbethchristensen1981]

❤

[@helenkrane6313]

Hi, i’m diabetic, and I was wondering how to substitute the maple syrup? I’m just wondering since it’s quite sweet, and I don’t want to spike my sugars….please help, thanks!

[@angie21290]

Can I sub the oil with aquafaba for oil free bacon?,

[@Cathee45]

You’re just too gorgeous Jasmine !

[@patty5266]

I’ve tried really hard to like tofu, but it’s not that tasty to me. I did see someone make lentil tofu, so I may try my hand at that and see if I like it better.

[@mrjoshharvey7017]

Awesome vid thanks guys! Subscribe!
