I made this, and I was genuinely shocked how good and accurate it tasted. After a day or two in the fridge, I couldn't taste the tofu at all, it just tasted like chicken. I'm super impressed, and I didn't even have to buy any extra ingredients to make it. Great recipe! Edit: I highly recommend reheating in an airfryer, makes it even crispier.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

That’s awesome to hear!! Super stoked you dug it!!

[@turnerturner3281]

Do you think it's necessary to fry them twice? I feel like the pan frying step can be skipped if you marinade? Just seems like a lot of oil I dunno.

[@themysteriousfox3767]

@@turnerturner3281 I'm honestly not sure, I did double-fry because I went with firm instead of extra firm and I was worried about it being too soft if I didn't. They firm up a lot in the fridge, though.

[@the_madhadder]

So I made this recipe for the first time for the tofu fingers and they are INCREDIBLE!!! This hits that itch for chicken tenders PERFECTLY, it’s so much lighter and the flavor is crazy good! I let in marinade for 2 days and I do not regret it. If you were a chicken finger person before, MAKE THESE!!!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Oh nice!! So glad to hear it! Yes the longer the marinade the better!

[@wilsanders2492]

@@TheeBurgerDude , are you aware that freezing beans for a minimum of 21 days (32 is better) will eliminate gas? I discovered this quite by accident when a friend was frequently serving me 15-bean soup and I had zero gas. I am normally so gaseous that I could have eaten beans for lunch and immediately BLOWN myself across Baton Rouge on a skateboard, and I had no gas from her soup till a month later. She served me the same soup as always, but I became an H-bomb. I asked her what changed. At first she said, “Nothing!” Then she realized that she had been serving soup that had been in the freezer for months and what she served that day was fresh. Working on the premise that some gaseous enzyme is destroyed by freezing, I have cooked my dried beans and frozen them for at least 21 days (preferably 32 days) before eating and it almost totally eliminated the gas. Now that we are vegan (for about 6 weeks now), that’s an important trick since beans figure largely in protein intake.

[@spookfuls_]

I'm trying this for my first ever tofu recipe! It's been a big learning curve so far lol i tried gently carving the tofu into strips and it just crumbled, but! I stuck it all in the marinade and will shallow fry it tomorrow. I'm not sure there's much point in trying to grill them, since most of it fell apart, but if I do find any bigger pieces I will give them a quick sear. And then for the next recipe I try, I will remember to freeze the tofu up first before trying to cut it 😅

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Sounds like you aren't using super firm tofu. I would suggest going with a much simpler tofu recipe for your first go. Freezing can make the tofu very delicate as well. Read this too - www.seriouseats.com/shopping-cooking-guide-different-tofu-types

[@spookfuls_]

@@TheeBurgerDude I got the Nasoya Organic Super Firm Tofu from Kroger, but I'm guessing this brand isn't as dense or spongey as the brand you're using. But from what I've seen (Sauce Stache's on restaurant style tofu, mostly), if I boil it in salt water or so a freeze/dethaw it, it'll probably help get the excess moisture out. Thank you for the help and the incredible recipe! ❤️

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Oh you got the right kind. Not sure why it's crumbling on you, it's pretty firm. There's not much water so pressing or boiling probably won't do much. Let me know how it goes!

[@spookfuls_]

​@@TheeBurgerDude okay! So lol I got a bit distracted (I just had top surgery last week and it was a whole thing), but I had fried these ahead of time and had them waiting in the fridge. And I just heated them up in the air fryer and wow! Wow. Just wow. They smell amazing, they taste amazing, and the texture is great! I can't believe it! It's more tiny popcorn chicken than tenders cause of my mess up, but overall it's incredible. And they survived over a week in the fridge! Which I definitely didn't expect! I thought I was gonna have to throw them all out. But it heated up fine! And tastes fine, too! I'm so impressed. I will definitely be trying this again when I feel better! Thank you so much for such an incredible recipe! This has massively changed my opinion on tofu!

Tofu is definitely easy I’m just not crazy about the uniform spongy soft texture you get. Had some fantastic gardein supreme chickn nuggets the other day with hot sauce. Really good. Also their supreme “wings” with the included Buffalo sauce really good. Might be best yet.

I don’t get the spongy texture from super firm. Especially after marinating and grilling, try that out!

I used to work at canes but I was fired by a manager and his friend who also worked there who were sexually harassing and bullying me for being trans. I asked my store manager and corporate for help and they did absolutely nothing and allowed the harassment to continue. The raising canes sauce recipe is: Heinz mayo 10 parts Heinz ketchup 10 parts Heinz Worcestershire sauce 2 parts Fine garlic powder .5 parts Powdered black pepper 2 parts MSG .5 parts Mix well and let rest overnight in the fridge to let the flavors set up. The Texas toast is cooked with garlic flavored margarine btw.

If you don't object to store bought options, for me the best result is simply buying the crispy chicken patties from the vegetarian butcher that to my understanding are basically also used in the plant based burger king option for a long chicken here in Germany. No idea on the availability on where you live though... Other than that, the vegan mayo from hellmann's is my favorote, salad as to your preference, and although it is not the traditional recipe, I like vegan brioche style buns getting available more and more here, if I want to indulge :) Maybe helps you out :)

[@wilsanders2492]

NOT a keeper, IMO. First, the texture was off-putting. If I try frying tofu again, it certainly won’t be marinated, nor will it be scored (tended to fall apart.) Love the flour/corn starch mixture, btw, but for my money I’ll wrap the tofu in paper towels and put a heavy pan on it to press out excess liquid, then cut/ season/ batter/ fry. Heck with shaping it. So it looks like little squares of chicken; so what? The dipping sauce was good after adjustments (adding Chinese 5-spice and lemon pepper.)
