[@Jin88866]

I live in Italy and there are almost no other Japanese people near here, so it's very difficult to get high quality tofu. The one you get at the supermarket is way too firm, it kinda resembles seasoned ricotta cheese or parmesan. I've always wondered why westerners like their tofu so firm (and expensive!). I only eat it when the local Chinese asian shop has it, once every other week... :( I will try to make my own, it doesn't look difficult. Thanks for the video!

[@DLee1923]

Hi. I think people like it so firm because the softer and jigglier forms weirds them out. lol (Like a few other's were commenting on) I was raised in a typical American/Italian family, & never heard of tofu till I was an adult ! I never tried it because I felt the texture would be weird. Ha But I sure am interested to try it now that I've seen Emmy make it ! 😊

[@FAQIvan91]

@@DLee1923 well, maybe, but then we have puddings and jellies... We aren't a jiggly-hating culture, so why?

[@noway4517]

It's because it has not been in our culture for a long time, so the people who want it take what they can get. If everyone knew how much better it could be, they wouldn't buy the bad product, but they have no experience with it. And the industry is just lazy, they take the cheapest ingredients and they probably make it drier to make it last longer.

[@DLee1923]

@@FAQIvan91 True. I believe it's because those are seen as soft dessert type foods. Like ice cream. Plus tofu is something processed from soy beans & moulded, with really no flavor. And isn't a form of cheese, which we seem to go gaga over also. I'm alright with jello, but I am grossed out when fruit chunks or any other chunks are added !! HaHa Sorry, I tend to get off the point once in awhile. 😂😉

[@DLee1923]

@@noway4517 I like that answer ! I have never tried it, but I at least would like to once. And now that I know there is great, authentic tofu, I don't want to try the store crammed ones. That thought makes me think of Italian food made in Italy or Sicily (where my father was from) and what we make in the US. (Also Mexican foods, but I haven't tried the real thing) 💕

[@newjoyyork]

I remember when I was in grade school, my mom would pick me up and we’d go to town and get fresh, daily made tofu from Aloha Tofu (in O’ahu, HI) we’d go so often she made tons of friends there and she’d get the leftover bits and would make Okinawan dishes from them.

[@StormCrusher94]

So tofu is basically plant based cheese?

[@mckenziew.1816]

Purty much yah, there are even vegan cheese and meet. And there are some called tofurkey, and even tofu cheese, witch it is just tofu with flavoring.

[@calforrai]

basically, except it doesn't smell like feet :P

[@ReshiLuna]

Basically, I'd imagine. I've never had it though.

[@mckenziew.1816]

Some of the cheese flavored tofu or the vegan cheese doesn't taste that bad. I have had tofurkey..... that not even my dog liked.

[@applesauce8258]

Lil Lalo it’s actually not a vegan substitute for cheese. In fact it’s not a substitute for anything! It’s it’s own beautiful food in a completely different category. If you’ve never had it, it’s lightly sweet, nutty, and delicate. When you season it it’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, absolutely delicious! It’s very subtle and soft , but if cooked incorrectly it can be too firm. I’d definitely try it! Just make sure it’s seasoned and cooked well.

[@ikogarcia8122]

Tofu's one of my favorites, especially when they're fried and you dip it in a soy sauce and lime mixture. Yum!

[@markwickens2756]

I discovered tofu (fresh) about 50 some years ago. It was love at first bite. I liked it so much that I started to make my own. I used lemon juice to coagulate the protein. Tofu is still one of my favorite foods. I spend a month or so in Taiwan every year. There seems to be an endless variety of different types of tofu in the open markets there. My favorite is stinky tofu (cho tofu).

[@autumnclockwork]

@Ryan Sauter Second fun fact: I have a Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition! Soy does contain phytoestrogens, which can either inhibit, or increase estrogen production. In premenopausal women, it tends to inhibit, in postmenopausal women it tends to increase. But really, these effects are so minuscule they are irrelevant if you are only eating soy several times a week, and the benefits of soy in terms of protein, b-vitamins and minerals make it a healthy choice, especially when it is choosen over red meat. (I'm an omnivore, and I eat red meat, so no bias there,)

I watched two other videos about making tofu, before this one. Each of them put the finished product after pressing into fresh water for half an hour, "to get rid of any bitterness," they said. You don't seem to taste any bitterness, and you didn't do that final step. I've made note of that. I don't want silken, I want firm or extra firm. Probably need to press it for longer. Sounds delicious. I love tofu and just don't understand omnivores who say they hate it, when it's so sweet and delicious! Even the texture is delicious, to me. Thank you.

In Las Vegas at the restaurant, Aburiya Raku, they serve beautiful house made tofu, and it is addicting. They press theirs in small wicker baskets, so you get a hemisphere about the size of a half grapefruit. It comes with their house blend soy sauce which has some plum wine in it, a very fine green tea salt, some sort of spicy chili sprinkle, and loads of bonito flakes. It's served either cool, or warm (in a broth). The cool is my favorite. Thank you, Emmy. Now I have to make my own!

Tofu is awesome in skilled hands!

Is there away to get a medium hardness tofu? My local Chinese markets sell either silken or hard as a rock tofu. I grew up eating only Japanese medium hardness tofu. Sadly our local Japanese tofu store closed up a few years ago and I find it almost impossible to get medium hardness tofu which I need to prepare dishes like sukiyaki and butadofu.

My daughter & I made soy milk. She wasn’t to impressed but I loved it. I didn’t want to throw away the bean pulp so I heated it & added some sugar & butter & ate it like it was a bowl of oatmeal. It was really good. Now I want to try this.

Is possible to insert some flavour to tofu? Example chilli paste chilli oil rosmery ect ect flavour?

[@whitneytesta1701]

TheItalianGamer yes! Marinate it in soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sriracha and pan fry it in cubes. So delicious!

[@bluesSGL]

You could probably steep some herbs and spices in the soy milk before pressing

I've never made tofu, but at the grocery store I go to, there's a dessert tofu which comes in peach, banana, and coconut flavored. It's a bit like a firm yogurt. I'm sure you could do the same with various other flavors. I don't know if it would interrupt the coagulation process or not though.

[@Eisaku2]

Tofu takes on literally any flavor imparted. It's the world's blankest cuisine canvas.

[@tkjho]

@@cryofpaine Those dessert tofus may not be real soy based. Most of them are made with agar and evaporated milk to give them a tofu look, but a touch translucent and not fully opaque, and the mouthfeel is quite different (crispier) when you bite into it. If the flavors added interfere with the coagulation process, just drink it like flavored soy milk.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! My daughter decided to go vegetarian over two years now. On her own mind you... She's just a compassionate child because I love steak... being a good mother I support her decision and do my best to help her on her quest of vegetarianism. I buy her tofu and tofu products this just made my life cheaper... Not only can I make her tofu but teach her how. Please add tofu recipes to your channel...

i absolutely love tofu! i have a set just like yours that my dad imported to me from japan a few Christmases ago - i tried it out once, but failed, but now you have inspired me to give it another go, so i can finally experience the taste of fresh tofu :) about suggestions, you should try to make vegan meringue using either aquafaba (chickpea water), which is the most well known way to do it, or go all out for the experiment ans use flax seed slime (sounds gross i know lol) - i've only seen it done once with flax (on Bhavna's Kitchen's youtube channel) and haven't tried it out myself, but it seems like absolute magic, and like something you'd be into trying :) lot's of tofu love from andy

She has such a love for food and life watching her is such a delight
