How to make Tofu look and taste like Chicken

[@TheEasyVegan]

DISLIKE BUTTON (like this comment to dislike this video) This video had 4,391 dislikes (yikes!) at the time of writing (97.3% likes, 2.7% dislikes) ----------------------------------------- To skip the pressing, buy extra-firm tofu (just dab it dry after slicing). In any case, cut up and freeze a few blocks at once (I do 5 at a time). That way, whenever you want some you just gotta defrost, season and bake. The whole pressing and freezing isn't supposed to be done every time. Do that bit in bulk, then you always got some frozen ready to go. Cheers guys

I've made the dislike count public so that you can decide whether this video is worth your time. I worked hard on these videos and, as a relatively small creator, I was very proud of my (mostly good) like/dislike ratios. Hard work and a good ratio will encourage others to watch videos which I think is great for new or small channels. I hope you are all well. I'm doing great. Thank you for the fun times.

tbh the main mistake people make in cooking is under-salting things before they cook them or over-salting them afterwards. It won't taste that salty if you salt it that early

[@ef1024]

Thanks for this video, this was the first time I cooked tofu and liked it! But I think I have come across a simpler way of prepping the tofu - its essentially the same steps, just a different order, but for me its easier: 1. Freeze the tofu straight away when I bring it home from the supermarket. 2. The night before I want to cook it, I take it out of the freezer. 3. Next day before I start cooking, i cut it into pieces and use my fingers to squeeze out the liquid. Then do your method of soy sauce, oil and cornflour. Because the tofu has been frozen, its consistency has already changed and doesnt fall apart easily. This makes it easy for me to squeeze the water out instantly and dont have to use books or wait a long time for the water to drain.

Ive been vegetarian for literally a week. If anyone wants like an easier version: Get firm tofu. Crumble it with your hands, making it the size of like a cube in a rubix cube. (My first time doing it, i made them really small like ground beef and it just wasnt the right move. I like biting and chewing.) Get a baking pan and put parchment paper or foil. Grease it if youre using foil. Then for 30-45 minutes, or until light brown color, bake it at 350 Fahrenheit. You just dried it out, meaning no need for pressing your tofu. Make sure you stir it occasionally in the oven. If you dont for the entire duration, it wont char and burn. But we want to stir at the very least halfway at cookin time to get all sides equally crisped up. At the end, it will be dehydrated. If you eat one, it will be chewy. But to rehydrate it a little bit, throw in something saucy. Ive used it for vegan chili and vegan sofritas. Do whatever. Bam, chewy, meaty tofu. Ive never tried it in my air fryer. If anyone tries it out in their sir fryer let me know Update: I have been vegetarian for 2 months now, almost 3. I do this every time I make tofu. Get an air fryer. Spray the cooking pan with oil. You do not need to put oil on the tofu. Cut tofu to whatever size you want. I have tried cutting it small to put in wontons. I have also tired cutting it really big for pad thai. All sizes work. Do not crumble it with your hands. Use a knife. Air fry at 400° until your desired texture. For me, it is usually 15-20 minutes. Air fryers cut baking time in half. I was shocked. The texture is great. Cooking is quick. Clean up is more, but the texture of the tofu is worth it. If your looking to make fried chicken though, I swear on everything oyster mushrooms will change your life! Oyster mushrooms, not king oyster mushrooms. Look up Fried Chicken oyster mushrooms by Fineapple Vegan. The mushrooms has strands like chicken. It smells like chicken and the marinade is fantastic. Its chewy. It not fool anyone because the shape, but the taste and texture is definitely there

Nowadays the internet is so damn serious, it's good to laugh and talk about health at the same time without shaming it.

[@Fazian01]

I was skeptical but this actually made me like tofu so I cant thank you enough. If anyones worries about no having corn flour, yes regular flour works just fine.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

But corn flour (corn starch) is known to make fried foods super crunchy. That's why it's used for Korean and Japanese fried chicken. And it doesn't get soggy under the sweet hot sauce. Even some American cooks have added it to the traditional flour.

[@FlatMax2]

My Asian supermarket actually sells deep-fried, freeze-dried tofu in cubes (3x3x3 cm) or in a whole block (which is up next on my shopping list). As you said the texture is amazing. It is not like “regular” tofu at all. I cut them up and add them to different warm dishes and even salads. They add a cheese like texture too. The deep-frying keeps the flavour neutral and they take on any flavour in a sauce or a salad dressing. I’m glad you posted this because your ingenuity is amazing - from the homemade tofu press to the homemade microwave tofu drainer. You’re a true kitchen “MacGyver”!

[@RichardTheBigBunny]

I was already thinking that SURELY much of this process could be mechanised and sold frozen. Now I know! I'll look for that deep-fried / freeze-dried tofu.

[@FlatMax2]

Richard Ian Tracy I just had a salad and added the deep fried/freeze dried tofu which I cut up like you would cheese. It absorbs the salad dressing well and adds a meat like texture to the salad. I hope your lucky enough to find some. Good luck!

Did not bake due to prolonged pressing. 4. Pan seared after dusting with seasoned flour until I thought they were good and crispy. 5. Tofu was sliced thinly. This tastes so good!! I am shocked honestly. I thought I was going to trash it. Tofu has seemed like a hard ingredient to cook these past years, but this has given me a TON of ideas. I'll be coating this in egg roll wrappers to make a fried "chicken" next. Thank you so much.

here are most of the answers for people who ask this common question; "If vegans/vegetarians don’t want to eat animals, why would they eat something that tastes like meat?" Most vegans/vegetarians grow up eating animal products, becoming accustomed to the taste and texture. You May ask, "Why not just eat the real thing?" Vegans/vegetarians don't eat meat due to most of the meat industry's messed up way of treating animals. Also, some people become vegan/vegetarian because they cannot digest meat properly. We miss the taste and texture of meat, not the way animals are being treated and the health issues it gives us. For people who get pissed about plant-based meat being called meat, what the hell are we supposed to call it? There's a reason why it's called plant-based meat or vegan meat because it has the TASTE and TEXTURE of real meat. Please note, do I respect everyone's choice of eating and not eating meat. I'm not the type to force others what's right and what's wrong. :)

WHY all these “just eat chicken!” “It’s still not chicken!” comments? Guys, the channel is called the easy VEGAN, it is obvious it’s going to offer alternatives to the real thing. Simply, not everyone is fine with chickens being killed for us to eat, but it tastes good so why don’t try to recreate it with non-animal products? It is as simple as that.

[@cringelocator479]

Surreal Utopia But we kill plants to eat!?!?!🤔🤔

[@everyhandlesalreadytaken]

ウルトラLRinstinct well, it’s definitely not the same. They have no central nervous system, so probably can’t feel pain, or at least can’t feel it the way animals do. Then, a lot of vegetable products would have “died” anyway, like fruit: even if no one picked it, in a few days it would have fallen from the tree. And I would kill even more plants if I ate animal products, since crops are needed to feed the animals, so if I really cared about plants the only thing I could do is starve to death...which is quite ridiculous. So, due to the lack of alternatives, I prefer to eat something that doesn’t bleed, scream and oppose itself when killed.

A much easier way to do this is to just throw the unopened package of Tofu into the freezer and then let it thaw in the fridge on it's own. Then drain from there. I use my hands to squeeze out water and then just wrap in a towel for a bit while I prepare a flour mix to coat it. Much less work than draining for ever, cutting, freezing, draining again, etc.

[@rainbowofboxes8021]

I agree :) that's how I do it! However I refreeze it a few times to get an even meatier texture (only firm works - soft will always be mushy).

Tofu is like chicken, in that it is a blank canvas. It has no taste really, you have to have to play around with it to achieve whatever texture/flavour you desire. How good it tastes, depends on how you prepare it, season it, etc. Great fun video! New subscriber!

[@Kristinaisme]

I would love to shorten this process for you drastically, and have better results for a chicken texture.... Drain tofu, (don't press yet because you want the water for the freezing process), cut up, freeze. When you want to make your 'chicken', defrost and press (I use my hands and then a tea towel, it will only take about 5 mins instead of 20 because of the new crystallized texture from freezing). Now flavor it and cook. :) Tah-dah!

[@kawaimochi7782]
