VEGAN KKANPOONG TOFU SPICY AND CRUNCHY GARLIC TOFU!

[@TheKoreanVegan]

Is there such a thing as too much garlic?

[@MUSIC1LIFE1LUV]

No such thing!

[@srixmessup]

Garlic should be measured with the heart.

[@toregister8615]

Never!

[@VivBeyer1111]

NO !!!!

[@met3839]

Beautiful recipe and there is nothing like too much or too little garlic now its as per one’s liking I’m your new subscriber ...definitely follow mommy tang hopefully you guys can connect

[@tblizzi1369]

I made this today and it was delicious. One change I made is to bake the tofu instead of fry it. That way you don't have to deal with the hassle of putting it on a cooling rack and getting rid of the excess oil. What I did is put the tofu pieces into a ziploc bag, shake up some corn starch into it, then add oil and shake that up in the bag too. Then bake at 400F for 30 mins

[@naveerakhan9622]

Such an addictive dish, I've made this 4 times in 2 weeks! Tofu is crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and that sauce is spicy yet irresistible, plus it's super easy to whip up.

[@alisonkim7349]

From one Korean vegan to another, thank you SO much for your videos and for the time you put into veganising recipes we grew up with. Happy belated 추석!

[@arianpierce]

The sauce was amazing but tofu was crunchy but no taste. Watched video multiple times. I would like to make again but can I perhaps season potato starch before frying tofu?

[@lubnabintimohammadsharif4771]

@@arianpierce go ahead!! i seasoned the potato starch with salt, pepper, paprika and herbs!! it turned out great :)

[@MS-gm2lr]

OMG I just did this now with a few alterations: chilli flakes instead of gochagaru, 3 garlic and a knob of ginger both minced. Normal onion as I did not have red and one tbsp of honey and 1 tsp of brown sugar instead of maple syrup. OMG the bomb! Absolutely delish. Will try other recipes. Thank you!

[@katlegomafotsa8242]

I tried this yesterday and it was all the flames. This recipe has definitely changed my life. Thank you so so much.

[@rashmisarin7876]

I tried the recipe and loved it. I doubled the sauce and it was perfect. I used what I had at home so for Mirin I used balsamic vinegar & used yellow onion instead of red loved it! Thanks for a simple & delicious recipe. I also added about half a cup of thinly sliced broccoli

[@Maiasatara]

In my house 7 cloves of garlic IS a normal amount lol. (Part Portuguese.) I’m glad I found your channel because I have everything you use in my pantry already. I typically get smoked tofu (because it’s super-firm without draining) and I think either that or tempeh (minus the starch) would be delicious in the same sauce. Even if the tempeh was less crispy.

[@LollysGarden]

So Yummy. Made it for dinner tonight. Had a headache all day and didn’t feel like cooking. Decided this was quick and easy. I cheated and used my air fryer for the tofu. Will make extra sauce next time to smother the rice. Thanks so much for a quick, easy and seriously delicious dinner 💜

[@ThePlataf]

I made this last night. Doubled the garlic and reduced the syrup to 2 tsp. It was heaven! Thank you.

[@merci.petras]

[@111nitya]

Made this recipe for this evening for dinner and OH MY GOD! It took me less than couple of minutes to get it all together and steam some rice. The minute I tasted it, I was on Cloud 9. I couldn't comprehend how it was so simple to make and yet, so amazingly delicious? Anyone reading this comment, please make this! If you don't have the ingredients, it's worth it to buy it to just make this recipe.

I found your channel because of the kimchi short you made about assimilation to American culture, I'm so glad i found your channel. I friggin love tofu

[@lroche2164]

I do my tofu in my air fryer instead of using all the oil. Works great. Great crunch.

[@samelis6546]

Mind me asking how?

[@lroche2164]

@@samelis6546 I let the tofu for 15 min or so, occasionally if it is really wet I may press it for a bit. Preheat your air fryer for 10 min. I cut it into roughly 1 to 1 1/2 inch squares. I place about 1TBSP of Braggs Soy Sauce or soy sauce of your choosing. in a bowl with 1TBSP cooking oil. I add the cubed tofu and coat it. Then I sprinkle 1TBSP of cornstarch over the tofu and toss it well. IYou will find the cornstarch melts into the tofu. Add to your hot air fryer basket. Bake for 10 minutes, toss it and bake for another 10 minutes. The tofu will be crunchy and ready for what ever sauce you want to add to it. Hope this helps.

Had to make a couple of tweaks as didn't have exact ingredients, but turned out amazing. And, 7 cloves of garlic is exactly what it needs. Added, broccoli, red and green capsicum and 1 teaspoon mushroom umami powder. Served with brown Basmati rice. Might be the best chinese dish I've ever cooked.

[@DolceArdore]

Excellent taste and also really good using tempeh, in which case you can half the weight, skip the pressing and flouring and simply fry it until it’s nicely browned.

[@Shizu_Kare]

Veganism doesn't have to mean lack of flavor in your food. This video is a perfect example of that.

[@RheRheSmily]

The first couple of time I made this. I did it true to recipe. Came out amazing. Now I've started making it for when I go to work. So to make life a little easier for myself. I oven bake the tofu wit a generous amount of oil. Make the sauce separately and add it when I get to work. Not quite the same but I like it. I serve it with bell peppers, green beans & white rice

[@alexsmoker158]

Have you tried feezing the tofu twice? it actually changes the texture of the tofu and allows you to squeeze out all the water without the tofu breaking when it thaws. Gives a chicken texture

[@juliet5772]

What do you mean twice?

[@alexsmoker158]

@@juliet5772 if you freeze it for 1 day then thaw it out and then freeze it again for another day and thaw it, the process changes the texture of tofu drastically to that of meat. it also allows you to manually squeeze all the water out of the tofu without it falling apart in your hand ( If its extra firm tofu). If you search on KZbin a lot of vegan youtubers have been doing it. It's game changer for sure.
