I highly approve of this systematic tofu testing

[@Smashboy44]

It’s hilarious to see the oven version come out exactly how my parents used to bake their “fried chicken.” I’ll probably do the oven style just for nostalgia

[@strider_hiryu850]

you should try deep fried at least once just to experience it. just to know what you've been missing out on.

[@MarcyStuart]

My mother-in-law used to skin the chicken, then smear mayo all over it, then dip in seasoned breadcrumbs and bake it. It sounds awful, but it was really quite good, before I became plant based of course.

[@DrakeDiablo]

The best tofu I’ve had is deep fried thin tofu using Cajun fish fry flour mix. As a non-vegan that does a lot of vegan cooking for my vegan family I couldn’t tell the difference

[@alexandragatto]

Your reaction to the shallow fried was golden! Shallow frying is usually my method of choice just to reduce the oil use and mess. That marinade is TOP TIER btw, I was so impressed with the grilled fillets and will definitely be making it regularly!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Thank you!!

[@mrdankhimself]

One thing that might help your panko air fried tofu is pre-toasting the panko. I do this by mixing a little oil into the panko in a bowl and microwaving it for 5-15 second bursts, stirring between each burst until it is light golden brown. Careful not to go too far with this step though or else it’ll burn in the air fryer.

[@melanieOh]

Thanks for showing how viable shallow frying can be! It very much reminds me of how my mom used to make chicken cutlets, but veganized, and frankly faster and cheaper. I think I'll be shallow frying some tofu this weekend.

[@Eclyptical]

When I make falafel I make them as flat patties instead of round balls so that I can get away with shallow frying them to use less oil!

[@imp187]

I add some oil to the wet mixture instead of spraying it on. Air frying will sweat it out and crisp it up.

[@Beans.on.toast.]

That is crazy how realistic it looks. I’ve tried his nugget recipe and it was fire but lacking chicken flavour. Will def try this and I’ll edit this and say how it is (not that I doubt you dude)

[@pastelpagan]

God bless this man

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

Your happy response after eating the shallow fry was worth the watch. My mom only shallow fried so that's the only thing I do as well

[@CodyandJillian]

The Super Mario laugh after trying the shallow frying made me laugh out loud! Thanks for doing all these tests and finding a happy medium! -Cody

[@AR-gc7dr]

I’ve re watched that too many times

[@eladguitar]

Yeah the shallow fry is exactly how moms make Schnitzel in my home country and it's something every kid grows up on. They actually still use less oil than you, Americans sure love their oil 😅

[@scottykillian]

Sincerely thank you so much for your videos. They bring me so much joy so please don't stop 🤣

[@RogerLaLoutre]

I stumbled on your channel after seeing one of your Shorts. I'm no vegetarian or vegan myself, but I love seeing how people come up with good (and tasty) alternatives. Consider me a new subscriber ^^

[@22anamae]

Thanks for sharing your recipes 😊

[@Nyancakez]

Really in depth, I'll stick to deep fry + shallow pan frying. 😊 Great video as always

[@sherriepierce4193]

I like tofu when it’s seasoned, really good, shredded, tofu scrambled, etc. but just to eat tofu by itself I’m not a fan of the soy taste, but cooking it this way by making the cutlets first and then deep frying. Looks like something I’m going to love. thank you for the recipe. I’m gonna have to try this.

[@HornyKoala]

Same. I have to not be able to taste the tofu. Derek Sarno did a tofu block with a glaze and I tried that and it was lovely but I think that's as close as I'll get to enjoying a block of unseasoned tofu.

[@Rakshasa1986]

These look amazing!

[@Vegan_Ape_2018]

Oh, hell yea! All look bangin. As long as the taste is there, I'm happy.

[@mwmentor]

Looks good - Looking forward to trying out the shallow frying method...

[@VeryTastySoup87]

Really nice video I'll definitely use it to fry tofu other ways and see how it tastes, usually I do it one way

[@hterstiwit]

I usually make and shallow fry seitan for cutlets, but that can get pretty time consuming. I've never thought of trying it with just tofu. Great video!

[@michelesoto5919]

Ooh, can't wait to make these!! Maybe tomorrow's lunch!! Yum!! Deep fried!

[@MyFlipperLikesIce]

When I use panko to airfry, I mix it with some oil first, so it's more evenly coated

[@suicune2001]

I went to Taco Bell yesterday and they had nacho fries with VEGAN nacho cheese!

[@angelalee7012]

This is awesome! I *hate* crunky chick'n so now I know I to dredge first to reduce the crunch! As always, loved it and enjoyed learning something new!

[@suicune2001]

Yum!

[@N.A.M.P.]

Yummy

[@armahthetrainer]

You are so awesome! I love these videos. How many did you end up making?

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Can you please do some experiments with making soy and gluten free chicken and beef, ideally with pea protein? They have stopped stocking so many of the soy free options here in Australia and I'd be really interested in recreating it for my friend who has a soy allergy 😊

[@ADudesRotary]

I use coconut milk/cream as the liquid medium to make southern fried tofu.😊

[@3sotericCompassionist1976]

This channel is so DOPE !

[@Meloooo805]

You don’t how fast I click on your new posts 😮‍💨😭❤️

[@gammayin3245]

For all who don't want MSG, FakeMeats seasoning has "yeast extract" which is another way to say MSG. Having said that, I *completely* appreciate Thee Burger Dude for his happy, warm demeanor and excellent recipes. Thanks Dude!

[@arielismincraftfreak]

Such things look so good but I’m always so skeptical because it’s usually so dry, since it uses firm pressed tofu.. these look flavourful and probably not as dry as the ones I’ve had! On the side note, there is a favourite fried tofu I like from this chicken rice shop that has a fried silken tofu, and that’s my favourite. It’ll be nice to see that used too… :0

[@dlengelkes]

Plant Basics must be getting more popular, Even Saucestache uses their products.

[@BigAlKahuna007]

Vegetarian date coming over tomorrow. Let’s see how this goes😵‍💫

[@shovelboy3641]

omg I'm new to this channel and I just saw your face for the first time you look EXACTLY like what I imagined a vegan binging with Babish would look like

[@alohaohana901]

Tofu is amazing if cooked the right way......there is nothing in the world like it.

[@justgarrick]

I'm not vegan myself but I've always had an interest in plant bast food. The main thing I wonder is how much is there a cost difference of? I eat a lot of chicken amd having something with a good amount of protein and fiber while being cheaper than meat would be nice.

[@ahoee]

you can definitely be vegan for cheap. tofu is pretty cheap, like 2-3 dollars for a block (where i live), and that has a good amount of protein. fibers also easy and cheap as well, most fruits and veggies will offer lots of that. then with cheaper foods like nuts, seeds, oats, will supply you with lots of protein and fiber.

[@spicybeantofu]

I do the corn starch way in a pan. lol not in all that oil tho just a little so they dont stick

[@specimenx4139]

I ain't even vegan, but you make tofu look pretty damn good, plus I'm a sucker for that crunch and it looks likw you know quite a bit about that as well. Might just have to try shallow frying, too, as this is the first time I've even heard of it.

[@dirkstam0511]

Neat! (Also, double-neat, sponsored!)

I just had a thought… @theeburgerdude can you fry soy curls?

[@steamyvegan]

Holy moly, I blinked and all of a sudden your subs quadrupled in a few months. Congrats, well deserved! So excited to try these out!

[@candi_flights5290]

New subbie! I like this channel direction I just wish you would experiment with using jackfruit and chickpeas sometimes too vs mainly soy meat and tofu....

[@FloydWhoElseTV]

Soy and tofu is so not good for you. It's tough finding vegans that don't use products without tofu and soy.

[@candi_flights5290]

​@@FloydWhoElseTV True... it's what people understand as vegan and plant base...

[@james23640]

Pro tip: mix some oil into the panko before airfrying it.

How do I find your Italian beef recipe? Could you hook me up with a link so I need to scour the Earth on your channel (which i kinda already do though :D )

I just tested it out and it works for me. Are you trying to buy their plant basics products?

[@latreiceworthen6591]

I don't understand people don't want to use a lot of oil in deep fry but shallow frying Foods hold more oil is better to deep fry because your food don't hold the oil shallow fry Foods soak up the oil leaving it more oily

[@hendricarose849]

Once again you’ve outdone yourself. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great job very informative…. For those of you watching this video my prayer is that you ALL come to know JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH as your LORD AND SAVIOR. ROMANS 10:9 say that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that GOD raised JESUS from the dead we will be saved.
