[@marystestkitchen]

thanks for the shoutout 🤗 and for surfacing those studies comparing the efficacy of plant-based protein vs animal-based protein. I'm really interested in reading them!

[@carollen5601]

Hi Mary, let's try and make a lasagna with tofu cottage cheese...it's on my menu. ☺

[@SauceStache]

Yeah it's pretty wild, especially with the new digestablily index. and thanks for making such an epic Tofu series!!! I honestly think it should be the #1 go to for anyone looking to make tofu

[@SauceStache]

Hope you enjoy!! Thank you!!

Me too! I miss cottage cheese, and look for it when I go to the grocery store. I’m amazed how easy it looks to make, and the fact that there’s no plant-based cottage cheese.

[@andrewwashere82]

Ditto, Sauce Stache is a hero!

[@aprilblossoms4]

Yes me too! I am so happy to find this video and Mr.SauceStache never disappoints!

[@ivylovesrunning]

I was complaining about the same thing the other week! 😂

[@Cocktailsandlacenh]

My screams into the void have been heard! I’ve literally added extra tofu to my grocery list for tomorrow and can’t wait to make it. Cottage cheese with peaches is great but I’m a savory breakfast person and will put it on toast, sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, then top with fresh tomato slices.

[@GS-lq2is]

I'm a savory person too - and that sounds awesome! Maybe some cucumber too . . .

[@crankiemanx8423]

I shredded the tofu then added some grated vegan cheese ("bio life " brand made in greece) even better tasting than regular cheese.sprinkled in a little bit of white pepper & garlic powder,a dash of tumeric & cumin & salt .sliced up some green peppers & some onion then mixed it all together.then made toasties...delicious. 🎉

[@Hoogs88]

Love how you dropped the science at the beginning of the video to lay out the nutritional comparison to dairy cottage cheese. Hope to see more of that in future videos. I really think it could do a lot to help convince people to convert to a plant-based diet.

[@amystrickland7162]

Website is kind of a mess to navigate and there are places you add things in this video that aren't mentioned in the recipe (the water in the silken tofu). Wish it was clearer and there were less adds and popups and that I could find this recipe (not much help, no measurements on water or lactic acid) without the search bar.

[@rynkydynky]

Amazing recipe, every time somebody tells me that certain plate cannot be veganised, I share your channel.

[@SauceStache]

Awesome! Thank you so much!!!

[@joannejohnson6393]

Thank you for this! Agreed, Mary's Test Kitchen did an awesome job on the "will it tofu?" series. I also agree with Monica, peaches and cottage cheese, nothing like that combination. Adding a couple of more blocks of tofu to my grocery order.🖤🖤

[@carollen5601]

Love Mary's Test Kitchen, and her voice is so angelic ☺

[@SauceStache]

There is always room for a couple more blocks of tofu to the grocery order haha and thank you!!

[@red_rose_redemption]

One of the best channels on KZbin, thanks for all the videos throughout the years!

[@margarett_b]

So great you addressed the fact that tofu is essentially the OG plant based cheese :D I absolutely love tofu and I really appreciate when you show us all the fun things one can make using it! The approach you took to make this cottage cheese seems so much better than what most people do (just mash it up and add some plant-based cream) - I would love to give this a go!

[@SauceStache]

Thank you soo much!!! It's wild to me how many people turn their noses up at tofu when really it's just a form of cheese. If it had a different name most people would probably just enjoy it!

[@SauceStache]

Also you gotta try this!! its super good!!! Thank you!!!!

[@paulgaras2606]

That looks like it might make a good filling for pierogi. In place of farmer’s cheese

[@fleedermouse]

That would be awesome. You probably wanna dry it out a little bit first but good idea.

I grew up with cottage cheese and pineapple and as a young adult cottage cheese over a whole blooming tomato (tomato mostly but not completely sliced through to make a flower with the cottage cheese in the center. My son eats dairy, he was having some yesterday. Soon, I too, will have cottage cheese again. Thank you! Blessings to you both!

I'm so excited to try this! I've been missing cottage cheese for years, but could never find a recipe that looked reminiscent.

[@dammitqirong]

Mark, I have been waiting for you to make this video pretty much since I found your channel 3+ years ago. I hate all of the other recipes out there that use nooch and tofu or other weird flavors and just don’t taste like cottage cheese at all. This one is so simple and doesn’t use nooch!! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to make it!!

[@shanna.thesingingvegan]

Really love these healthy take (oil free, whole foods) recipes. Thank you!

I like to replicate cottage cheese by crumbling up tofu and soy yoghurt, blend it a little bit and add lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper.

[@adidadi84]

I am a big fan long time , but seeing your transformation from some chubby dude to fit man makes me smile every time I see your recent videos. Tons of respect :)

I made this after I viewed the video. I did not have xanthan gum or kappa carageenan, but despite this it is WONDERFUL with fruit (wild blueberries up here in Canada). Well done!

[@bleutitanium6513]

While I am not Vegan by any stretch of the imagination, I totally love some of the hints and recipes I have found here. For health purposes, I have started Meatless Mondays, and SauceStache has provided me many good options. Cottage cheese is the next thing I must try !! Thank You !!!

[@aprilblossoms4]

Good for you! Keep going 👍

[@erikabourgeois8162]

Cottage cheese and peaches!!!! I thought my sister and I were the only people in the world whose mom gave this to as a snack! Solid video man, loved it as usual 😊

[@fblairmd66]

I’m 58 yo, and my mom used to pack this as a dessert for my school lunches back in the early 70s. I just remember kids laughing at me and making fun of me and calling it gross. Meanwhile, I thought it was delicious! Still do! Glad I found a way to veganize this experience!

[@snospmoht3252]

Yay for Mary! 😁 Great channel. We did cottage cheese with canned pineapple tidbits. Used to love how the pineapple juice coagulated the whey of the cottage cheese even more. Mmmmmm.... Or with quartered garden fresh tomatoes and black pepper.

[@amymcmillan3796]

Ohh yummm.. I was served a jar of layered oatmeal, a dry cottage cheese, nuts, and fruit. This would be perfect to recreate.

[@quantummetaphysics]

wrt the lactic acid thing, you might want to try just saying something like "vegan, beet-derived lactic acid", and maybe flash a small image of the list of ingredients in the container. That way you've signified that it's not milk-based lactic acid without having to re-explain it each time.

[@MovableNu]

I use to love cottage cheese before I learned I was lactose intolerant. Tofu cottage cheese make so much sense! Thank you!

[@SauceStache]

You are so welcome and I hope you enjoy!

[@___InvalidUsername]

My fave cottage cheese use is with thin slides radishes & green oignon. Looking forward to eating it again 😍

[@nirvana328]

does anyone know how much water and lactic acid he puts in the silken tofu pot?

[@2close2themoon]

I used to love that cottage cheese that had "vegetables" in it -- ie, dried veggies, but they brought a lot of flavor that enhanced the cheesiness. Couldn't always find it, so I started adding shredded carrots, and finely chopped veggies like green peppers, red peppers, onions, celery, etc. I bet this would be really good as a savory dish, too.

[@ilfaitfroid9739]

I love cottage cheese. I miss it. If this is as good as your silken tofu yogurt recipe was, I will be sooo happy. I am going to try it this weekend!

[@GreenVegan816]

I definitely want to try this! Thank you!

[@LieslPJohnson]

I'm stoked to make this! 😊 At 3:09, is that water or vinegar that you're adding to the pot with the silken tofu?

[@n.delaparte6273]

I've been trying to figure this out as well. It looks like both pots have water added in order to simmer, but the written recipe on the website only mentioned vinegar in the second pot.

[@AmphiptereSiX]

Interesting method! I've been making cottage cheese by mixing crumbled tofu with unsweetened soy yoghurt, some nooch and some salt... But your way looks a lot more sophisticated and I'd love to try it once I get the chance

[@marsfran55]

I went to the site but can't find the actual recipe?... I'm going to Wade my way through and see if I can figure it out from the video again 🙂

[@SauceStache]

So sorry! Im a 1 person show here. It takes me a few days to get the site updated. Filming today editing tomorrow and hopefully either this weekend or early next week I'll have this recipe up on the site!

[@marsfran55]

Thank you thank you thank you! No worries, I partially figured it out but my biggest boo boo was the type of silken tofu- I think I need a softer silken 🤔

[@marsfran55]

And don't spend the 4th of July in labor! Celebrate Independence!

[@nirvana328]

@saucestache how much lactic acid do you add to the silken tofu?

[@accepting_mediocrity]

This looks very similar to Julienne Bruno’s Superstraccia!! They use coconut oil as well, but the rest of the ingredients are spot on!

[@dianaantal7356]

I have been missing cottage cheese for years. Am so excited to try this. Thank you! 💕

[@emmahardesty4330]

The role of tofu is similar--but surpasses--the role of pasta: Tofu is great with just about any sauce, any fruit or vegetable, you can think of. It's as versatile as rice.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

How long do you think this will this last in the fridge?

[@kirstenturk]

This is awesome! I’ve been wanting a dairy free cottage cheese for so long. Definitely trying this!!

I am so EXCITED! It would be great as I miss having it from my college days. Cottage cheese, tabbouleh, and salad. That was my favourite lunch. Now I can have that again, but vegan style. 🎉

[@ErikaF8]

I was raised on cottage cheese & peaches, and it's one of my fav childhood snacks!!!! We used the jar peaches, though. Fresh peaches are better but doesn't give me that childhood feel. I've tried. LOL!!!

[@3PairDesigns]

Wow, I have really missed cottage cheese for many years, even before I went vegan over 4 years ago, I had stopped eating it because of potential cholesterol issues, lol! I will give this a try! Thank you!

[@RobCGilliam]

Had a period last year on my plant-based journey where I thought soy milk caused some bloating so I avoided. But recently found that was not the case after a crispy tofu dish and more testing. Stoked after we've had 4 blocks of tofu in the last 10 days with no issues. This is a gamechanger for me as a more complete protein source. And so versatile and cheap. Our local had extra firm blocks for $2. How can you beat a protein source @ $2/lb.

[@HaleyMorganB]

I usually make vegan cottage cheese by adding plain unsweetened vegan yogurt (forager cashew is my go-to) to crumbled silken tofu buuuuut this looks like it'd be way more accurate. Might have to give it a try! I also grew up eating cottage cheese with peaches, and also a savory version with avocado salt & pepper, using triscuits to dip. I'm glad I'm not alone in my love (and missing) cottage cheese!

[@jawzobang8062]

The PDCAAS of soy protein and Tofu are not the same! They probably mean soy protein isolate, which is an entirely different product. The processing of soy matters a lot in this context.
