How to Cook Tofu - Vegan Popcorn Chicken Made 4 Ways

[@skoolie_life3261]

I love that you're making cooking videos again!

[@gotfruit6089]

My boyfriend has been complaining about missing chicken so I hope this helps stop his craving for cruelty! Thank you for making the best vegan cooking videos on KZbin, its has really helped make my food more flavorful and fun to eat :)

[@WikiSmiles]

Just made this for dinner, it’s bangin’! Thanks for the recipe ❤️ I made the basic recipe then dipped them in a homemade vegan buffalo sauce

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

I have literally never tried tofu and I've been vegan for over 5 years...thank you for the inspo😉

[@TheVeganZombie]

Yeah, definitely recommend trying this one out. :)

[@closer2peace]

I have two packs of extra firm Nasoya in my fridge and I can't wait to make this!! Hearing the sound of the crunch just totally sold me!

[@itssewxtra1713]

I am not even kidding I would buy an air fryer just to make that!!

[@TheVeganZombie]

...and it would be worth it. :)

[@itssewxtra1713]

The Vegan Zombie FYI. Have been sharing this video, this recipe could really give tofu a better rep. You know? Thanks so much for the reply😊

[@kodysedgwick8936]

@@TheVeganZombie how does it differ from baking? I really don't need yet another kitchen appliance.

[@pppaaattt4671]

I make almost everything in my air fryer oven. I make Salmon, eggplant, French fires , tofu etc.... Fast and really good. Best appliance !

[@monaleggett7066]

Pat Dagostino, what kind of aid fryer do you use? Thanks!

[@Confessionsb4leaving]

This video makes me want an air fryer so much and these popcorn tofu look bomb!

[@TheVeganZombie]

Totally worth it.

[@susanmiller2588]

I saw this last night, and I had everything in the house to make them. They turned out so good. The most surprising thing was how crispy they were. I've never had tofu this crispy before. Great recipe. We gobbled them up. Thank you.

Hey Chris! I’ve been watching your videos for years and been hesitating to buy an air fryer until I saw this video. I just made these and they came out incredible! Thank you for doing what you do. I will be making these to share with all my vegan and non-vegan friends!

[@j9501b]

THANKYOU, because of you guys, I bought an air fryer..I am officially in love now. I would not have ever given it a thought if not for yall, I'm a grit girl raised in the south.

[@erykasr1]

Yes! They make these at my local food co-op and I love them. Excited to make them myself

[@killacali4866]

I appreciate the extra tips you give along the way

OMG those look YUMMERS!!!

[@bovenn616]

Thank so much bro! Gonna try this one out. Love from Australia!

[@michaelsherron5750]

going try the air fry method soon.

[@MiNilovesJoSe]

I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thank you for your genius ideas!!!

[@wicklandtube]

You rock! so much fun watching your videos! I have yet to try the popcorn chicken, I think I'll try it out on the fambam this weekend. The only problem is I am going to need about 10 packs of tofu to satisfy them. Thanks for the great info!

[@marykacyy6802]

For the FIRST Salt I would substitute and recommend anyone reading this to use Better Then Bouillon "Chicken" Paste I've found it in Publix On there website they have a store locator

[@CosmicKristen]

That looks so good. I buy lots of the gardein nugs but that looks so much better!

[@MLD-RN]

Wow! I was sceptical of the new airfryer craze but I see them used in a lot of cooking vids. I'm gonna get one and I'm going to try these Tofu recipes

[@elizabethshaw734]

I like Trader Joe's high protein vacuum sealed extra firm tofu. It needs no pressing it has no water it's like crumbling a piece of wall but works great for these things will you don't want it falling apart! Can somebody hear recommend a good air fryer that is not $100? You need poultry seasoning. I had 2 teaspoons of oil to mine because I like it to get lightly coated and more crispy. You can also use this batter in the oven. There was a study done where they fried chicken pieces and french fries for a family of four and only two teaspoons of oil actually stayed in the food because it was fried at the right temperature for the right time. You can also flavor up the tofu and use instant potato flakes on the outside as a coating that is a chefi trick for all of you. Not ET is it? LOL

[@TheVeganZombie]

Perfect! I was going to use the better than bullion but I was out. Still turned out amazing. Best I've ever tasted actually.

[@SeventiesGirl1961]

Try a second hand store for a hardly or not used airfryer?

[@ScrayXXI]

My """"""cheatgan""""""-half braved the sea of gentiles that is WalMart and got an off-brand made by a 3 year old Chinese kid in a factory for 40 bucks. Works really well. You probably don't even need oil for tofu: it's so high in sat. fat that it fries itself. If you ever eat the Gardein/T. Joe's/whatever fake chicken tendies you can throw then right on aluminium foil without coating it in oil because they have so much fat in them. Poultry seasoning varies from person to person, so a safe bet is always a lot of celery seed. If you're not one of the chosen people and live in middle America you'll probably run into Ms. Dash at the store ( I mean WalMart, let's just be 👌💯 real here folks ) and that can work too. Upboated this border wall of a comment because super firm is the only way to go if you're trying to copy chicken: just break it apart and turn on the air fryer. Way easier than buying an expressive knife, trying to thinly slice a piece of flesh that's been dead for 4 weeks and then BAM: you just instantly infected yourself with antibiotic-resistant Sammonelia Heidelberg. Before the coccus fucks you from the inside out completely, remember that Dr. "Exploding Eggs" Michael Greger said that you need 3.5 to 4 servings of soy to get the benefits, so just eat the entire block. One love and I'm out but before I go, just remember that if you had a vasectomy and really don't give a shit about having kids, just tell the doc to x-ray that lump in your testicle instead of getting an ultrasound: it's not like you care, right? Great stuff Chris and I hope the hit you put out on the deep web for the scumbag that scammed you off of Kickstarter wasn't too expensive.

[@Eskapismus]

+ScrayXXI Well, these convenience foods you mentioned usually are very, very oily but plain tofu isn't. I don't like breaded foods so I just fry my tofu on high heat with a small amount of oil and add a splash of soy sauce in the end. Delicious. :3

[@elizabethshaw734]

The Vegan Zombie wow, wonderful!

[@caleb7107]

This is a great episode, you went all out on these popcorn tofu! I havent watched nearly enough of your channel 😊

I usually just throw my little popcorn tofu pieces in the air fryer but I think my husband would enjoy the extra step of frying them in oil. Great idea to double cook tofu. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@dickhardington8847]

6 cloves of roasted garlic 2 T olive oil 1/2 cup mayo 2T Parmesan (I put shreds in food processor) 1 t lemon juice 1 T apple cider vinegar 1/4t thyme(fresh is better) 1/4t marjoram 1/4t oregano 1/4t basil 1/2t red pepper flakes 1/4 black pepper 1/2t salt (I don’t use salt cause it’s in the mayo and cheese already)

Have you tried freezing (and thawing, naturally) the tofu first? It may provide a much chewier texture to them.

[@TheVeganZombie]

Yes, it give a unique texture but I prefer not doing that.

Mix your seasoning together then add to product. For the tofu less manipulating

[@wholoveskitty]

These look A-mazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Aquafaba is also good for coating before dipping. I recently threw out 4 boxes of the FYH veg egg. It made me sick to my stomach. I think it could have been the cellulose? But I have found aquafaba to be a good substitute for dipping before coating and a little easier to obtain. 😊
