How To Cook & Use Tofu | 5 Easy Recipes

[@jamieturner5744]

I’m not vegan, at least not at this moment but I am testing the plant based life style for a time (also considering the ethical implications etc), and have been looking for transitional types of foods that really work. Just gonna say this video gives me a lot of hope. Haven’t tried any of these yet but so much clearly communicated helpful information. Thanks a bunch for the work here

[@Taricus]

I'm not vegan either, but tofu really is good stuff. I eat it all the time. If you know how to use it, it's pretty versatile and you can do a lot with it.

Okie but why do ppl have to state they're vegan / trying to be vegan / not vegan it literally doesn't matter, just go eat tofu cos its delicious

You are awesome! I wish my mum was as thoughtful when I went vegan.

[@gomezaddams6470]

Mum you are there for her! Now really show her by doing it with her! The animals thank you!

[@unpredictabletwins2332]

i wish i had a mom like you. i have celiac and at a young age i also wouldn’t eat meat so eating was hard. i got into eating tofu but after awhile my mom would stop caring and buy food that everyone else ate but me

[@nikkiplantbased]

I’ve made the KFC recipe from you guys about 5 times now - it’s the BEST! The last time I made it, I decided to coat the finished fried tofu in a simmered hot sauce & black pepper mixture. OMG. My boyfriend said best hot “boneless chicken” ever. Thank you Jasmine & Chris for all you do, keep shining 😊✨❤️

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Wow wow yum!!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

So glad to hear you all love it ♥️♥️

[@Lunalis_610]

Guys! I tried marinated air fried tofu for the first time using your recipe and I feel like I unlocked a whole new level in veganism. I'm so excited, it was really good! ❤️

[@amberl5513]

I always buy extra firm because I prefer the texture, but I learned here that it doesn't absorb marinades as easily. That makes sense! I will give firm a try next time.

[@maaax573]

Hey how was it? I've always used extra firm but I'm considering picking up a firm

[@singmeahappysong]

This is seriously the most helpful video I’ve ever seen about tofu. I like how you explained why certain types of tofu are best for certain applications. I am definitely going to try some of these recipes. 😋

[@crystalh1402]

I’ve made a chocolate cream pie and peanut butter pie with tofu for a potluck and didn’t tell anyone the ingredients. They were inhaled 😂 both are from a 1980s cookbook called Tofu Cookery, would love to see you make some of the sauces in the book.

[@MysteriousMisfit]

I have NEVER touched a salad, and tofu scared me until I had it in miso soup and fell in love lol With food prices rising, I am trying to find some cheaper options, and also looking to learn to prepare new things...So glad to have so many people to learn from!

[@nikki642653]

For anyone that doesn't think in advance to do much prep ....i keep my tofu in the freezer and when I'm ready to cook, i defrost it in the microwave and then squeeze out the water by hand (as shown in the video). Season however you like and then bake/fry. I usually season with s&p, onion powder, garlic powder, acv, soy, paprika, green seasoning (mix of herbs), liquid smoke. Allow to marinade for a few minutes, coat with corn starch and fry. It's really crispy with the corn starch. And I'm eating this while watching the video. Tofu all the way. All these recipes look amazing. I've yet to try tofu in a dessert. Might try that one soon.

[@pfranks75]

I’m not a vegan but I love tofu! I’ve even made it from scratch! Thanks for the delicious recipe!

I can too. I used to have that for lunch at work with a little fruit jelly on top. So good and filling!

[@angelamoynahan2627]

I haven’t been confident to do a lot with tofu, but you make it seem so simple. Definitely going to give these recipes a try! Thank you!

[@victoriamuir8988]

I once spent a whole day making tofu from scratch and sat down and ate the entire “loaf” because it was so remarkable. Store bought tofu is disappointing in comparison but I eat it because homemade is too much of a commitment. Love your recipes.

[@noone-gf5op]

I just discovered your channel and right off the bat I love it SO MUCH! the beginning is priceless! I have been vegan for about 8 years now and I STILL wonder about types of tofu. you have taken every shadow of confusion I've had for the longest time with a 5 minute intro that simplfied it so much... and the very first recipe is literally so simple yet sounds like a perfect blend of flavors!! I am definitely a new fan😍😍

[@Rmayhem209]

I never cease to be amazed at how much work you guys put into your videos- these recipes all look sensational!

[@gloriacotton421]

I am new to cooking and eating tofu. So your introduction to the different types, how they can be used, moisture, they retain, etc. was really helpful. Thank you so much!

Wow, perfect timing! I made scrambled tofu & veggies tonight using silken tofu, following a recipe that specified usinf light silken tofu. I didn't like the texture in that dish as much as I did using extra firm tofu on another scramble. I love all of the recipes and tips you provided in this video. I'm only 9 months into whole food plant based eating. I only incorporate tofu about every other week due to the fat content. But my non vegan husband is a runner so needs more calories than me so the protein in tofu and the extra calories will be good for him. I will save this video for future viewing. Thank you!! Linda

I made the lemongrass tofu and it was delicious. Only thing I did different was added some traditional Trinidadian green seasonings ( cilantro, habanero, pimento, garlic, celery and chive mined together) to the tofu after it was fried to marinate while I made the sauce. Very flavorful indeed.
