[@emptyemptiness8372]

Silken tofu with a simple sugar and ginger syrup poured over the top. Simple, unbelievably delicious and the one dish I have wonderful memories of with my father because it was just him and me. He is dead and I am almost 60 now but it brings him back to me in my heart and mind every time I eat it.

[@Concreteowl]

I always use it for my scrambled not egg. A bit of turmeric for colour, a bit of black salt for egg flavour and when it's heated a minute in the microwave a bit of black pepper. Great on toast.

[@AW-zp7od]

It’s so crazy to me that people use firm tofu for not eggs!

[@gsinclair2813]

That's how i used to make scramble when I first went vegan over 20yrs ago-suggested by someone who worked in a health food type store in St Kilda Melbourne

[@thatveganchick668]

That sounds yummy and great if you’re short on time and can’t make a traditional scramble. Thanks for this idea! 😊

[@Dr.RCJr.]

One of these days I want you to make something where Monica is like "This is fair to middling. Not your best work Saucy Man." These look great though. More recipes like this please.

[@SauceStache]

hahaha there has been a few of those, but they often don't see the light of day. If she doesnt at least mildly like it then I go back to the drawing board. No point in making, editing, and sharing a mediocre 10 minute recipe video.

[@quigon6349]

​@SauceStache maybe show some of those clips so we know something about what doesn't work alongside your changes.

[@Dr.RCJr.]

@@quigon6349 This is a great idea and would make for an interesting video to show the evolution of a recipe and how you got Monica from "Meh" to "Marvelous!!"

[@JanuaryLisa]

​@SauceStache NO POINT?! It would be excellent comedy, my friend. ❤

[@docAvid314]

​@@SauceStacheI definitely agree with everybody else, would love to see the Monica Reject videos. They don't have to be as long, they could just focus on what didn't work. As long as you've shot the footage anyhow, I think it would be well worth it to do the editing and put it up. It could be funny, relatable, and informative in the what-not-to-do sense. I'd watch every one.

[@cydonia3167]

Ok, so I immediately googled Jello instant pudding mix because I always thought it contained animal derived gelatin. Learned something new today and I am really excited to make some instant pudding deserts! Probably not the purpose of this video. I just made a chocolate coffee mouse with tofu and it was divine! Just melt some vegan chocolate chips, blend a block of tofu, add the chocolate, instant coffee to taste, a little sugar or agave to taste and refrigerate for an hour. Yum!

[@karleybioanthro]

Exactly! I’m definitely going to make some for sure now!

[@eugenetswong]

Thank you for looking this up. How do we know that those long name chemicals are vegan?

[@SauceStache]

Look them up. There isn’t that many ingredients.

[@cabal3747]

I think you might be confusing Jell-o pudding mix with actual Jell-o. Pudding is all about cornstarch, but Jell-o gelatin does indeed have animal derived gelatin in it.

[@BeingReal1]

But…I’ve heard Carageenan is really bad for gut health.

[@carolinebissonnette1969]

I make a silken tofu chocolate pudding/mousse that I eat almost daily. I mix 300 grams of silken tofu with 25 grams of cocoa powder and 50 grams of dates in my Magic Bullet and divide in 4 portions. It has a dark chocolate taste that pairs really well with some almonds and blueberries. It's my evening snack of choice!

[@evilsensei8262]

This is a great idea!

[@marie-linedeslauriers4339]

Looks amazing and so healthy !

[@leannakekai162]

The tofu mushroom soup looks especially yummy. 😋

[@SauceStache]

IT was SOOO GOOOD!!! Thank you!!!

[@lemonadestand4386]

I make yogurt from Morinu shelf stable silken extra firm tofu, thinned with a little Silk unsweetened organic soymilk. I immersion blend the tofu and some maple syrup (to feed the probiotics) with the soymilk in a sterilized mason jar. I add in a probiotic pill with a chopstick, and put the mason jar in the Instant Pot on yogurt setting for 14 hours before I go to bed. It comes out like Greek yogurt, tangy, thick, no run off. If you like it thinner, you can always thin after with soymilk. Also, I don't know if it's a myth, I don't use metal to blend in the probiotic so it stays alive.

[@SauceStache]

That sounds awesome, and I think you are right about the probiotic! Good catch! I need to pickup another instant pot!

[@schjlh93]

@@SauceStache you can also do it in your oven if you have a proof setting or just with the light on.

[@danbereczki5036]

I've started making yogurt with silken tofu, coconut milk and probiotic. I let it ferment on the counter for two days. The probiotics provide the tartness once the fermentation starts. Pop it in the fridge when it gets to your preferred level of tanginess. Once your culture is alive, a couple of tablespoons is all you need to start your next batch

[@msbroomstick1]

​@@SauceStachemeringue is my least favourite brand despite being shelf stable and a classic. It has a very chalky after taste. Unicurd silken thanks is imo much better and has a great taste that can be enjoyed in yogurt and shakes and not "masked" like the moringa requires

[@Housefrequence]

Silken tofu works incredibly well for tofu scramble as well for those who prefer a creamier/French-style scramble. In addition to kala namak, nooch and turmeric for color, I add some soy cream (or soy milk mixed w/ cornstarch for a less decadent version) for extra creaminess. It's perfection.

[@andrewwashere82]

Why the nooch?

[@MysticScapes]

Just one thing, we never use sesame oil for cooking, we use it at the end to enhance the flavour but never for stir frying.

[@msbroomstick1]

Your thinking about unrefined sesame oil, that has a low smoking point and not suitable for frying. A refind sesame oil can be used for frying as it has a much higher smoking point, but is less flavourful then the unrefined sesame oil and therefore normally less used in finishing dishes.

[@ViaAngeles-ve5uj]

Hi Mark! Apples hav pectin. People make jelly using apple peels & cores. Maybe be used.to thicken & add slight sweetness to the tofu yogurt? For choc pudding, i blend a banana with tofu & cocoa powder. Pudding mix is hard to find here. Sometimes i put a bit of plant milk. (Seeeten w raisins/dates/applesauce if desired) The riper the banana, the softer & sweeter. This is what i do with surplus bananas. Thanks for sharing silken tofu recipes!

[@rudeasmith5098]

I thought Oui was French, so I pronounce it we. I do love saving those containers, they are just the perfect size for so many yummy things!

[@TasteOfButterflies]

Of course it is pronounced frenchly because yoplait is a French brand, but Sauce Stache pronouncing it jewishly like "oy" was much funnier. Lol.

[@kenreeve32]

I loved this episode! Super simple but clever and elegant recipes.

[@danabrown6341]

I love to make that silken tofu soup but before I pour it in the bowl, I put in fresh baby spinach and super thin rice noodles. When I pour the soup over, I cover for about 2 minutes to wilt the spinach and cook the noodles. Delish!

[@thatcriticvideo]

Silken is something I have also completely passed over but should use more. Also, just to help out for the future, it is pronounced "we", it's the French word for yes. 😊

[@SauceStache]

It's so worthwhile to get and have fun with!!

[@sandrabraga7269]

Aww your dog! ❤ Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to explore Silken Tofu and these recipes are AMAZING!

[@MillerKevinG]

Awesome video as always! Just want to point out that you put the probiotic in before you cooked it, killing anything that may have been alive. If you're going to add it you might want to do so after cooking to influence fermentation? I've only ever used other yogurts as a starter, so I'm not sure if it even would have much of an effect.

[@lyndaanderson2158]

I ordered lactic acid and finally got around to trying the yogurt. I have not found a vegan yogurt that I like. This was SO good. I used firm silken tofu and it's just like greek yogurt. My family didn't know it was made from tofu. Brilliant recipe

[@ushere5791]

i've made chocolate pudding with silken tofu, natural cocoa powder, and agave nectar in a food processor. that too is yummy, but there's something nostalgic about the jell-o mix flavor....

[@soo_chef]

The umami is oozing from the screen 🤤🤤🤤 well done!! Need to try that cookingbomb chili sauce!

[@andrewwashere82]

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

I used silken tofu for the first time yesterday (Sarah's Vegan Kitchen's 10 Minute Chili Garlic Silken Tofu) and it was so good that I woke up in the middle of the night to finish the cold leftovers. Your recipes will be put into action soon ... they look delicious. I feel the YUM in my future!

[@ushere5791]

great jell-o pudding hack! mine is to use the non-cook mix with tru-whip non-dairy and make what we used to call in college "whip 'n' kill".... XD

[@thatveganchick668]

I do that too but never had a name for it. I’m stealing that! 😄

[@squirrelnut-kd4ph]

3 great recipes. I am really down for that soup. I will be stalking up on silken soon.

[@SauceStache]

Thank you!! You're going to love the soup!

[@MakiraVangalis]

I love freezing soft / silken tofu. Then thaw it out and drain / dry well. Season, bread it then fry it. Freezing it gives it lots of fibrous textures n pockets that just hold whatever flavor and juiciness. I think its better for freezing than using firmer tofus. But it is very delicate.

[@tkoart7562]

You look great!! I haven’t watched in a few years but whatever you’re doing is working 😊

[@teresajose2280]

I’ve watched and saved so many recipes with silken tofu and yet I’ve still never bought it. I guess I’m lazy. 😅 it’s great for so much though. Sauces for pasta. It’s good for a creamy tofu scramble along with firm tofu. It’s good with pizza as a mozzarella substitute. It’s good with currys for a bit of extra protein and creaminess. It’s good for so much and yet I’ve never bought it. Why? Lol

[@SauceStache]

It's so easy to pass over but so worth it when you buy it!! I think we are going to start seeing more and more silken recipes!

[@madisonsnellings8501]

Silken tofu can also be used as an egg replacement, I throw it in with a box brownie mix. Try not to eat them all, I dare you 😂

[@luke_fabis]

Pectin NH can achieve similar properties like you mentioned at the end of the video, but it is prone to weeping a little. A touch of gellan gum should take care of that in turn.

[@ViCT0RiA6]

frozen grated peach is interesting!!

[@McCaffreyPickleball]

Amazing looking recipes!!

[@Arisaem]

For pudding- I just use homemade flax/oat milk and bananas. 1 banana = about 1/4 C sugar. So I usually use about 2 C of the flax/oat milk, 3 bananas blended together. 1/4 C cocoa, 3 T corn starch (I whisk the dry ingredients first). Add together and whisk on medium heat until it thickens. Remove from heat, add 2 T of vegan margarine, 1 t of vanilla extract, mix. I also take some peanut butter and mix with confectioners sugar, roll it into little balls, drop those and some chocolate chips into the pudding cups, pour the pudding over and than add some more peanut butter balls and chocolate chips on top. It's so freaking good!!! You cannot go wrong with peanut butter/ banana and chocolate together.

[@cthulusauce]

Thank you for the dessert recipe! I’m definitely going to try it. I buy my silken in those tetra packs, they last a long time and are shelf stable. Mori-nu brand if you’re curious

[@auntletha]

If you freeze silken tofu then defrost and squeeze, it makes a great tofu scramble. Cook in a pan and add a little cashew cream and other seasonings that you would add to your tofu scramble. I even added nutritional yeast to the cashew cream or vegan cheese for cheesy tofu scramble.

[@doris3594]

Went to a Korean grocery store recently and was surprised to see huge selections of soft silken tofu and only one option for extra firm tofu (which I bought). Also wondered what Koreans do with their soft tofu. Can’t wait to make the soup this week as it looks to be easiest of the three recipes you tested. As always your videos are greatly appreciated and enjoy watching Monica taste your creations. Thank you. 😊

[@nataliejoel]

I love silken tofu in soups. I make a vegan version of a kimchi soup with onions, garlic,ginger , scallion, gochujang, yandu ,which is sjmilarto a vegan fish sauce, and i add cabbge or bok choy. Served with rice and sesame , its so good

[@mikoomaee9460]

Silken Tofu is my FAV!! Sauces, anything, tofu-fied so easily muwahaha, seirously though in terms of protien and nutrients and also just texture sometimes, its been my most used thing since going vegan! These recipies look so yummy 🤤🤤

[@JTMusicbox]

[@byrnebarrenger4241]

Thank you for the recipes! I have the hardest time finding vegan plain yogurt for ingredients like Taziki and more main course meals. If I did recipe 1 and omitted the sweetner, would it be more like plain or Greek yogurt? How could I make it more like plain Greek..... I am probably not the only one hoping for a video on this. Thanks in advance

[@SauceStache]

yeah, I would still add even the slightest drop with more acid to get a plain, but you can play around with the ratios!

[@domoblazesunderplane3358]

Silken is not a denotation of softness. It's a completely different type of tofu, used with a different thickening agent (the tofu generally used for mapo tofu is Extra Firm Silken Tofu). That's why japanese tofu generally has compressed curds, and most chinese tofu does not. Western stores often mislabel to convey softness. Most people are just probably going to buy the wrong tofu, unless you distinguish.

[@cilenee]

silken tofu boiled carrot and onion, pure all, season to taste and it makes a great cream for toasts and wtvrs

[@williamcfox]

You gotta sell your vegan Greek yogurt recipe to kite hill - they’re the only ones selling a vegan greek - and oh my goodness, it is atrocious. They need you!!

I had no idea the Jello pudding was vegan! Here is my recipe for probiotic vegan yogurt I would eat for breakfast: 1 carton of vanilla soy milk Sachets of probiotics Thermometer Pour milk into the instantpot and push the yogurt button and set it to boil. Let it come up to temp then when it beeps, push the yogurt button again to boil and let it stay warm for a few minutes. When it beeps, let it rest until it cools down to about 120 degrees. Pour some of the milk into a bowl and mix in the probiotics and stir until incorporated. Pour back into the pot. Push the yogurt button and set the timer for 16 hours. Once 16 hours is up, I pour the yogurt into a collander lined with paper towels so I can get nice thick yogurt. The yogurt will be sweet, like you would find in a dessert. I haven't tried using unflavored soy milk yet. It might make a more sour cream type flavor which if it does then I'll have something to make tzatziki sauce with.

[@kittykat717]

This sounds fabulous. I would love to try it. Where do I get the probiotics and the brand? And how much do I use please? Thank you.

That soup reminded me of hot and sour soup. But sesame oil and vinegar should always be added last, just before serving. It will loose its taste when cooked with it. Try it with chinese black vinegar, and for heat some white pepper.
