If I could only cook one dish for a tofu skeptic…

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Come for the tofu, stay for my parents✌🏽

[@karmiettaIRL]

Hey beautiful I was wondering if you can do a tofu recipe with chickpea tofu or pumpkin tofu❤ I love your content and every recipe I’ve ever tried I’ve loved and also my children loved too 🧡 thank you ☺️

[@shartmann2008]

Your parents are so adorable!

[@MaryYoungAuthor]

I love your videos and your recipes too!

[@suzannenajarian9088]

OMG I love your parents!

[@majvlierop]

😂 ✌️

[@VikaKafovalu]

Your dad continuing to reference the Pioneer Woman😂😂😂 I love this episode. Your parents are the best

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I’d say she comes up and conversation at least half of the times I visit 💀

[@360shadowmoon]

I cracked up at "You're referencing Pioneer Woman on my daughter's channel????" 😂😂

[@VikaKafovalu]

I seen you drinking matcha..Try Mana Matcha of Hawaii...so good!! Thank you for sharing your recipes, definitely buying your book!!

[@anniwilson2534]

Great recipe and your parents are the stars of this video 😂

[@rickochetz]

Everytime you gush about the wonders of Chinese black vinegar, my little Chinese-American heart swells with love and pride! It's one of my favorite ingredients too!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

That makes me so happy 🥰It’s such a special magical ingredient! So many things is in one!

[@itme7685]

I had some for a while barely using it and then found a recipe for Kung Pao chicken that used Chinese black vinegar and dark soy sauce (mostly caramel coloring). I took the sauce and made Soy Curl Kung Pao and it’s amazing it made all the difference.

[@SilverRays]

Thank you so much! Once I explained that tofu isn’t supposed to pretend to be meat and it’s its own protein, my family enjoyed it so much more! They were converted by this recipe lol ❤❤

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Consider me honored that your family was converted by this recipe!

[@AmyBG88]

WHAT?!!! I don’t have to peel my ginger????? You have changed my life! This looks delicious.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I always scrub it first and use organic ginger - seems worth doing those two to avoid the task of peeling it 😅

[@AmyBG88]

@ definitely!!! Thank you!

[@jennfurr]

I just scrape it with a spoon. Just takes seconds.

[@The_Jovian]

You don't have to peel carrots or potatoes either. Make your life easier, get lazy.

[@soycrates]

I heard they spray the ginger to stop it from spouting. Not sure if that's of concern.

[@dlarsen325]

Your parents are just so adorable and supportive! ❤

[@mixong62]

This left me smiling! 🥰 So full of love!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

The best, right?🥹

[@pimacanyon6208]

your parents are hilarious! It's always so fun to see them on the show. And yes, they are the best testers for a tofu dish!

[@eimajtl]

I really appreciate how calm and quiet your videos are, in addition to the recipes being so easy to follow for a beginner.

[@shartmann2008]

My Dad was in love with Marlena Evans from Days of Our Lives or "Sands" as he called it. RIP Dad.

[@rlpai5833]

Your parents are so cute Nisha. As an Indian I can totally identify this sweet bond we have with our parents even into adulthood and wanting to make them happy and proud of us❤

[@carolynstanley3793]

I made a batch of this last night. It’s so good! Having the leftovers for lunch today and it totally holds up. Also, your parents are lovely.

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

When people say that tofu has no flavor, I readily agree. Coming right out of the package, it is bland as can be. However, it is a flavor sponge. Once the bulk of the water is expelled, tofu soaks up the flavors of whatever it comes in contact with. That is why you press the tofu. If you skip that step, the results will be bland tofu. Pressing is essential. I do disagree with the statement that "you can't have a saucy tofu dish without rice." I have had many without rice.

[@StrangerDanger491]

The Korean version of this dish is called dubu jorim and has been my go-to tofu dish ever since I went vegan, and I also use it to win over tofu sceptics. I can't wait to try your take on it!

[@charyssesweet7670]

Love your stuff. Your comment about “no need to peel the ginger, just scrub it” sent me down a rabbit hole and I’d be really interested in how you prep for the prep. I.e. washing and storing the veggies, organizing the spices, etc. I was intrigued by the large tray of items. Do you store them together like that on a shelf simply to make them easy to grab, or do you have multiple trays organized by flavor profiles? I’d love some insight into veggie cleaning and storage!

[@kinsleyo3965]

I have made this recipe a few times. It’s a banger, don’t sleep on it.

[@CateHolm-b1r]

Thanks!

[@courtneyashley7732]

Thank you! Always need new tofu recipes!

[@michellejames9184]

Your parents are hilarious and so cute. I snort laughed when your dad said to send the recipe to the pioneer woman for her husband. This tecipe looks amazing!

[@hcc792]

Oh my gosh….I came for the tofu and am leaving the end of the video wishing I could be adopted into this beautiful family. 😊 mom shouting out to give credit to max…my goodness….adore this channel! **the tofu looks delicious…I need to try frying some tonight. I’ve been to scared to try!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I loved when my mom shouted out max 🥹 so happy you had fun watching the video and thank you for being here ❤

[@kisulya2999]

I’ve been making this kinda tofu for over 18 years. Love it. Mine is a bit more complicated. And I love your simplicity and use of your ingredients. Thank you. ☺️

[@pjglory3348]

I love your family dynamic, so cute!

[@theswaggermom]

Such a WONDERFUL episode. Thank you so much for being such a joy!!

[@CrimsonStigmata]

Aww Max is so blessed to have a mother in law that cares about him genuinely.

[@cheznardi]

Just watched this episode! Love your parents humor❤❤❤❤they are hysterical. Pioneer Woman….daddy had me cracking up. Loved when they acknowledged Max❤❤❤definitely going to try this recipe….tofu is King👍🏾❤️

[@celinescrappassion2184]

i love your parents! They are a great support to you!

[@sv8911]

Delightful! The braising sauce is excellent. I used green cabbage, since peppers disagree with me. Nice one.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

cabbage works great here, glad you enjoyed it!

[@shadow1961]

parents embarrassing their children is a foundational rule of the universe

[@GH-fx1lg]

Looks irresistible! What a treat to have such a supportive family. And nice to see the guy behind the camera.

[@davidf.8345]

I’m a meat eater, but I usually keep a couple blocks of tofu in my fridge at all times. That way, a quick easy meal can be ready at any time. Unlike meat which I prefer to buy and cook same day or next day.

[@MrChecknate]

Girl! I made this tonight and served it with purple cauliflower. It's very VERY good and will be made again!! Thank you for sharing your inspiration with the community. Keep them coming.

[@dianebohman3833]

LOL! "Email the recipe to Pioneer Woman." Love your Dad!

[@jenniferodell5254]

Such a cute episode! I've made your braised tofu recipe before, but I'm excited to try it with your chili crisp! Love your cookbook and you!!! ❤

[@franp9980]

I would love to watch more tempeh based recipes :)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

have you seen our tempeh recipes video? Some fun ideas in there :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXSXlX6Yg5ymhassi=yNDsIHhsIOzguoAh&t=53

[@LorryMLewis]

LOVE YOUR MOM AND DAD (they keep it real-right??? LOL) they brought an extra layer of joy to this episode❤. Funny, I looked at tofu this week n the grocery store and thought but what would i do with it?? Problem is, I don't have your crispy chili oil, or the vinegar....so that will make it extra challenging to "whip up". Still love your channel my doll -thank you

[@fionamortimore1704]

Ooooh I'm watching this while I'm hungry and I'm literally drooling! Love the scallion garnish tip too - never too old to learn something new. Right, off to cook something and to order that Chinese black vinegar online. Thanks for another great recipe Nisha 😊❤

[@tik3197]

This looks so delicious! And I love your tips and tricks throughout the video - like how it is easier to fry tofu like you did now rather than cubing it, where you have to fry six sides. Never thought of that , so thank u! And also great to see how to use a steamer basket :)

[@claudib9725]

Tried this yesterday evening for dinner and it was delicious! Thank you very much for sharing this awesome recipe!

[@novembersky3749]

i must try great demo.!

[@neetarenner4442]

Bahahaha! Your dad & Ree Drummond, so funny!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

He never calls her by her actual name, always the pioneer woman. I’d say she comes up in conversation at least half of the time I visit 🤣

[@neetarenner4442]

@RainbowPlantLife, good taste!

[@kamilazugec3589]

…your parents are everything! So much fun with them 🤣 greetings from Miami 🌴☀️And btw - your cookbook, girl, you nailed it 👌 I’m vegan 12 years and so appreciated your recipes & you have similar taste like me ❤

[@DerrickClaar]

I really love when chefs cook for their parents : ) This looks so great, thanks for sharing.

[@LaPeli_123]

Omg cutest episode I've seen from you. Your parents are so cute, they made me laugh (just what I needed). Will try this recipe today, thanks. Such a beautiful family!

[@taylorkitchen5226]

Oh my gosh. The tofu recipe sounds amazing, but I LOVE your parents 😀

[@SonyaB-cj7wq]

Such cute, proud parents 😍 I'm not vegan but love your recipes to mix things up. Will make this one this week for sure 😊

[@heatherstlaurent568]

Big ole ❤to your family!!

[@ScrappinGenius]

This is restaurant quality! It was SO delicious. Thank you, Nisha, for turning us all into chefs. :)

[@AnastasTarpanov]

Love the recipe and always the best part is with your parents, I can watch them all day trying food, such a lovely couple.

[@mansoor3159]

Nisha I Just Wanted to say that I really really love all your recent videos so so so much and I am so so so happy that you have posted a New Video and I was watching your old videos🥹💗💫 May God Bless You Always Always

[@carolannN9712]

Your folks are so sweet! Back in the day my dad was all about Gloria Estefan.

[@krystle2527]

Mom and Dad are hilarious. I can't wait to try this dish!

[@Cookie_moonlove]

Your mum always reminds me on Eartha Kitt. I think both how she looks and the cool, no bullshit, way she talks. I love Eartha Kitt, so it's a complement, she was a beautiful, really cool, smart lady, had a wonderful voice and made lots of fun music.

[@jsnwayne]

I'm so glad I bought all that tofu yesterday! Looking forward to this, and also the crispy smashed potatoes 🔨 🥔 I'm roasting this morning from your new cookbook. 😋

[@RainbowPlantLife]

It sounds like a delicious weekend in the kitchen! I hope you will enjoy this recipe 🤗

[@sonofliberty1]

Great recipe and the taste test with your parents at the end really made me smile. They were brilliant. 💚🌱

[@lynnetteackerman962]

This dish looks so vibrant and fantastic. Thank you

[@janetrobison2765]

You have come such a long way in your production. It just keeps getting better and better. Great job on the video! The tofu looks amazing and delicious!

[@wakefulwitch]

So cute. Love when your family makes an appearance. And looks amazing!!

[@legsnhipsnbawdy]

I appreciate this video! I was struggling to find something to cook and realize I have almost everything in this video (no bell peppers, but I do have carrots). Really helping me get out of a food rut. And yes, black vinegar is amazing!

[@charyssesweet7670]

I made this today for the family and it was an instant hit! I will definitely do this again! Thank you for all your efforts in turning out great quality recipes and making eating veggies so fun.

[@markfeathers]

I didn't use to care much for tofu but, I have recently really come to appreciate it and the fact that it doesn't really have any taste of its own. Recipes I've been adapting, I find, still taste very good.

[@heathergisi4163]

Can’t wait to try this! I love the coconut braised tofu in your cookbook!! It is delicious!

[@rochelleberger5070]

I'll be cooking this tomorrow. Also a fan of chili oil. Your parents are wonderfully honest and funny. Bring them back often. (Your recipes are great also)

[@vipulkanuria]

Happy Family!! Love your shows

[@zubbymouse1]

Koreans also have a similar recipe - dubu jorim - that has ingredients that many folks will already have except for the gochugaru. And then there’s the classic, even simpler Japanese style which is to eat it steamed or cold w a delicious garlic soy dressing that you can make in seconds and is ladled over the top. All eaten w rice as the sauces can be strong but very delicious ways to get folks to try tofu

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thanks for sharing! I will definitely try dubu jorim - sounds right up my alley 😍

[@yvonnebenzian6712]

Made this receipe tonight and also the Chili Crisp. Oh my dog, it was soooo good!

[@jeaniekeel7490]

Your parents are hilarious. I love the Pioneer Woman too! Wish there were more vegan chefs that I could watch.

[@rhubarb9304]

Yum. I just made something similar but w/ cornstarch coated tofu so it was crispier. It's so, so good! And yes to the Chinese vinegar. It's a secret weapon. Your parents are so adorable btw! You can tell your mom really did enjoy the tofu! 😅

[@Rachel-sv9pq]

My dad had a crush on Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter). Keeps them young. 😂

[@DebAnderson-f3n]

Wow. This was an amazing dish. I didn’t have the exact ingredients but totally easy to sub out ingredients, just as long as you’ve got onions, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Thank you. Your parents are cute. This dish can’t help but convert them.

[@_Oscar326]

Oh Hey Nisha! 👋🏽😃 Adding this one to this week’s dinner rotation. Great to see the family.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hello Oscar! Hope you guys will enjoy this meal 🥳 enjoy your weekend!

[@amarameerholz3196]

My absolute favorite tofu recipe ever! I have made this no less than 5-6 times since I bought the book...

[@R989D]

I finally got my dad to enjoy a tofu dish. I had to explain that tofu is a vessel for flavour so it’s all about the sauce/seasoning it tastes like a sponge on its own haha

[@KiKiQuiQuiKiKi]

Yes, like pasta

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yes! Big win 🥳🥳🥳

[@R989D]

@@RainbowPlantLife also should have said this dish has jumped to top of my TCL (to cook list 😂)

[@Danicasvegancorner]

My maman got me a tofu press... A tiny little thing and it works wonders! Tofu needs the most love in all the vegan foods. I started marinating my tofu once it's pressed, life changer! Always have some sort of tofu in some sort of marinade in the fridge ready to go!

[@zeebee25]

girl that looks so insanely GOOOOOOOD

[@lb8822]

Love your parents! I just bought tofu yesterday. Your recipe is just in time. Looks good!

[@waffles8364]

Grew up with a mom who didn't like tofu so it wasn't until I was older that I learned how great it really is. Definitely gonna have to try out this recipe soon.
