How to Cook Tofu

[@eventsv3298]

Sauce Recipe: 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup rice vinegar 1/3 cup sesame oil ***1/8 cup to 1/2 cup peanutbutter 2 tablespoons chili paste 2 tablespoons sugar Garlic and ginger to taste EDIT: After reading the comments the recipe posted on the site has way too much peanutbutter

[@bigfactsbroski]

mvp

[@07FreshMaker]

Thank you.. saved being annoyed lol :))

[@eventsv3298]

I personally used less sugar and peanutbutter, but a lot of garlic when I made it. Turned out great. Glad so many people found the list helpful (had to dig through their website a little to get it)

[@07FreshMaker]

events V nice! Yeah I took the sugar out all together and found it was totally fine without it! :)

[@blenderbenderguy]

@Anna R yes it is

[@retsamnogard]

Finally a how to video on KZbin that gets straight to the point with no waffle and clear instructions. Well done and thanks!

[@melaniefisher8823]

I cannot thank you enough for the no nonsense, straightforward education you just handed me. For REAL. I wish you could teach everyone how to make videos.

[@LocustLocust-wc7mv]

That’s not the problem. The problem is youtube forcing people to make ten minute videos in order to make more money.

[@stefan514]

for crispy tofu cubes: cut slices press between kitch towels cut cubes and put in a bowl flavour however you want add oil to the bowl to coat the cubes add starch and stir until every cube has a thin layer of oil/starch batter fry with a little bit of oil until super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside The result is crispier and not as dried out as the crispy versions shown in the video.

[@scrappycoco3641]

wdym starch?

[@salamander_sandstone]

​@@scrappycoco3641 i think corn starch?

[@FreeDharmasangha]

Starch lol. Narrrr I'm good.

[@zeprincesszz]

Actually made tofu for the first time today using this recipe. Didn't have chili paste, so I used crushed red peppers instead. Used peanut butter for my nut butter. Was a nice spicy sauce, very delicious!

[@patsygardner]

thanks for the tip im going to use the same thing all i have.

[@bjkina]

Secret top tip : freeze your pressed dofu for a day or two before use - it becomes a little less soft still, and porous (like a sponge) to soak up your sauce : )

[@jillsymons8669]

Yes, I was going to suggest the same. It can be crispy on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside - like you get in a restaurant.😋

[@CHANELRAY105]

Should I freeze the tofu before pressing it or after?

[@marilynroberts6644]

I'm quite late but if you see this, I'm forever grateful. Those recipes are easy and look delicious. I've sadly been avoiding tofu but I'm now brave enough thanks to you !

[@ratsalad178]

love the scrambled tofu recipe so much. crumbling the tofu increases the surface area for the sauce so the tofu tastes so delicious. I added some sugar to the sauce and it really tied everything together for me. I've struggled to make tofu appealing to my palate for years but this helped SO much, thank you!

[@hajarkharbash6182]

That was such a well made informative video, thank you. Can not wait to try the scrambled tofu.

[@contraryMV]

Cooked tofu for the 1st time today. (Fried, with a little cornstarch coating). The idea of it is so much more intimidating than the reality. And I don't cook at all. So don't be afraid... You can do it.

cover it in a thin layer of cornstarch before you fry it... then come back and thank me.

This is a GREAT video with lots of GREAT IDEAS!!! I have found a few tofu cooking videos in the past and they were tough for me! These seem great!! I am looking forward to using them!!

[@apothegm]

I was happy to learn a few years ago after pressing tofu for 3o years that simmering it in water that covers it for 15 minutes does the same thing! Whew- what a great hack.

[@ahnrho]

"Small amount of oil". Damn.

[@dominicwalli]

Small does not mean ¨as little as you possibly can¨. when talking about liquids, small is certainly more than just a drop, or a squirt, or a tablespoon, or a dazzle, or a splash. Theres a difference between minuscule, tiny, and small. A tiny cup and a small cup are different.

[@ahnrho]

@@dominicwalli Whoa there, I honestly think you're reading too much into my comment. It was a light-hearted joke. I'll concede that small can mean a varying number of things... But honestly, who doesn't? Thanks for elaborating, I suppose.

You don’t even need to cook tofu I simmer soy sauce ,red onions, 1-2tsp of sugar depending how sweet I want my oil sauce in a pan I use sesame oil little bits and veggie oil then simmer that until I get my garlic and onions brown not dark but brown. And then I put on my dried cold tofu it’s if I have like 5-10 min too cook something quick and chop green onions to place on top add rice under neath too mix it together I also add Siraci sauce

Can you still do a 30 minute marinate before frying or would it only work with baking?

[@pinchofyum]

You could do the same with pan frying!

[@RegsaGC]

Marinating time depends on the size of the pieces to some degree, but it no doubt helps in both cases.

[@luvbird]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 😖😭💕

[@M1XEDBAG]

You forgot to mention that not only does drying the tofu out make it cook better, it makes it so that it will soak up all that yummy marinade better. look at it like a sponge if you take a wet sponge and put it in a bowl of water it will not absorb the water. put a dry sponge in that water and it will soak it right up. the dryer the tofu the better the absorption. and the better the texture too
