[@Adalebabe]

Good luck with the cookbook guys I can't wait ❤️❤️

[@MimiXtinaChelleKRow]

I made this and IT WAS AMAZING!!! :D But instead of frying the tofu, I baked it in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping once! :D Lauren, I'm NOT a vegan at ALL BUT you really know how to seduce people into this lifestyle!

[@hotforfood]

awww that's awesome! AND thanks for testing a baked version :D

[@MimiXtinaChelleKRow]

You're welcome! I baked the tofu at 410F for 25-30 minutes, flipping once. :D

[@CharlotteFurnessWriter]

I've watched this video so many times and not actually made it, but my cooking skills have improved lots in the last 4 years so I'm thinking of making it. One question though - what did you do for cheese sauce? x

[@melrenfudy]

You could even cut the tofu and squares and make like sliders YUMMMMMM

[@hotforfood]

YASSSSS def

[@sophie7162]

yum

[@daddycatwood2923]

I am southern. I am vegan. I love you so much right now.

[@hotforfood]

[@teresatymes7079]

I honestly totally can't wait for Wednesdays!!! Hot for food best part of the day

[@linzcarn9179]

Yes! Same!

[@shopoholic5]

You need to open up a restaurant in Toronto and serve all these creations you come up with on Recipe?!. It would be such a hit!

[@tiffaniharrison3387]

I totallyy agree!!

[@lifewithjenna543]

Shopoholic5 RG Music I would travel from New York to Canada for that lmao

[@caseydarliiing]

I hope you never stop making these!! Vegan bloggers like you guys make the transition so much easier and less boring! Thanks!

[@hotforfood]

aww thank YOU xo

[@chowskanna24]

"I have kale! We can put kale!" - Lauren, cooking anything. (And I love it! Just as much as I love the Recipe?! series!)

[@hotforfood]

[@cbcxxo]

"Fancy as f*ck" New cookbook title?

[@hotforfood]

might get in trouble from Thug Kitchen ;)

[@Thevietvegan]

LMAO that initial smash on the chips XD Looks freaking epic.

[@LianaAkobian]

damn I shouldn´t have watched this with an empty stomach

[@MisterMinato]

Someone shouldn't watch this with an *full* stomach. I mean, if it's empty you can just eat something ^^

[@clolauham]

+Blaze Crawn currently watching this after eating so many cauliflower wings 😫 and i want this in my tummy toooo

[@ajaybhoslae170]

Paneer raper recipe

[@2279bella]

new vegan (6months) and I can not get into tofu no matter how many times I tried...BUT I think I can get into THIS tofu! thanks for so many awesome recipes to help this transition!

[@Thesuflife]

"I'm Lauren Toyota and I go the extra mile, so im gonna make this fancy AF" -Lauren Toyota xD this is spot on

[@mushroomburrito]

Lauren is indeed the food blogger that inspires me to make my meals fancy af. Stepping up my kitchen game every single day :D

[@Lauras_Views]

What is this "leftover chips" you speak of? Foreign concept to me! :)

[@susiq4857]

Heard of it, never seen it.....kind of like a unicorn?

[@TiffG100]

+susi q lmao.

[@mccbutterfly]

😂😂😂 my thought exactly!!! she goes "I have leftover chips" and my first thought was "*gasp* what?! Noooo. Adore the crumbs. Eat the crumbs!!!"

[@Lauras_Views]

It's a bit like 'leftover hummus', does it REALLY exist?! 😂🙌🏼💜

[@hotforfood]

hahah this is so funny. I dunno we always leave all those crumbs sitting on the counter FOREVER! haha I dont know why

[@melaniecophotovideo]

I love how you walk us through the process of deciding what to make!!! ☺️☺️☺️

[@user-kj7jk6kn9g]

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THE LIGHT LAUREN TOYOTA!!! This is the real good shit! I made it without the chips coating and it was amaaazing

[@hotforfood]

NICE!!

[@huziaks]

You are a genius. Seriously, every week you kill it. I'm obsessed with you.

[@PogoTheBear]

LAUREN you're out of control!!!!! This is AMAZING

[@emmeenan]

When you said "rage out a little on the chips".... HAH!!! Nice job, looks awesome!

[@TheIcingArtist]

Officially in LOVE with the Recipe?! Series! Looks amazing as always Lauren!

[@Sw33tLori]

How do you have leftover chips? When I open the chip bag, don't expect there to be any left in an hour.

[@aichadiagne4473]

"Come at me bro" Haha Lauren is so funny

[@ash2995]

Love this channel. I feel like most vegan channels are only about smoothies, salads and all things boring. This shows that vegan food can be delicious and exciting

[@kellyjohnson1612]

Lauren, after you took a bite, your eyes tell the whole story. Your expressions are great.

[@viviges]

Seriously, you are the first channel i see that actually made me become a vegan. All those other channels are like.. "yeah... it's healthy green stuff", but you guys are like " holy shit, forget about meat, give me that Tofu" I'm so proud of myself and i have so much fun in the kitchen! Lauren you are a genius. Thank you!!

[@esosaekhosuehi7970]

love you guys and all your videos!! yesterday was my 1 year anniversary of being a vegetarian and now i'm working towards going full vegan! thanks for all the awesome recipes

[@codyburnham3067]

Out of all of the cooking channels that I watch on KZbin, Lauren has to be the most sincere during the final tasting. I don't really believe other KZbinrs when they tell me how good the food tastes, but I always believe Lauren! She gets so excited and her eyes light up!!! Makes me hungry! :)

[@drdluv]

Lol @ "come at me bro". Love it!!! Gotta try that breading, it sounds insane

[@errrinc23]

These recipe?! videos are by far my favorite youtube series at the moment and this one did not disappoint. I love that it inspires you to get creative AND reduce food waste. I'd really like to see a video on your grocery shopping habits/strategies to reducing food waste while keeping the fridge well stocked

[@magdalenag.410]

YOU ARE A PURE FOOD GENIOUS, MY GODDESS

[@xjayLoveessYouuxD]

Sigh, I wish there were a "LOVE" button on youtube. You are literally the most creative foodie I've found, Lauren. So inspiring, can't wait to try this out for myself!

[@georgia6515]

Am I the only one that finds her chewing really satisfying ??? Like asmr

[@yara9376]

Her chewing the chips? I love crunchy sounds lol

[@embem104]

hahah yes! Watching cooking videos is so satisfying to me!

[@PurpleNinjas297]

and I'm so surprised how clean she is when she bites into everything - even when it's dripping with sauce

[@mystieichinger780]

Is anyone else obsessed with the way Lauren says "I'm gunna" Anybody?

[@laevans1986]

Lauren, It's so fun to see your synapses firing as you pull together your RECIPE?! You seem truly in your element!

[@kezesz]

I remember how annoyed you were the first time about recipe?! but now I can see how much you're enjoying these. I love them too! I make up stuff all the time, so I understand how this works :) This is fancy as fuck! Congrats! Love your channels!!! I'm a proud hotforfoodie :)

[@yeet-ts5bp]

I made this and it was soooo good! I love it when I literally have all of the ingredients?! haha, great work Lauren and John!!

[@hotforfood]

AWESOME!!! thanks for sharing :D

[@farahfakih1169]

The crunch sound when she bit into it omg

[@tstastesandtravels]

You never fail to amaze me! Wish I was this creative

[@Avocadhoes]

No one looks attractive eating one of these. I appreciate that Lauren did her best.

[@reveenaskitchen]

That looks SO GOOD. OMG YOU KILLED IT LAUREN! Just kidding, you didn't kill anything, cause it's vegan. Hahaha. Seriously though, that looks fabulous.

[@DryanEats]

Lauren's face at the end is totally worth it haha

[@adriennenicole14]

"I'm Lauren Toyota and I kinda go that extra mile!"

[@hotforfood]

resume hahaa

[@ashleysilver7012]

She did it again!! Am I surprised? Of course not....currently salivating at my desk like a savage.

[@MrFavvideos]

This was so fun to watch I was giggling all the way through. I sent my little guy off the school for the first time and this totally brightened up my day. It also looks so good!! Will have to try this soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@hotforfood]

awww thank you for watching!

[@HerroSammity]

You think like a true stoner sometimes with these videos, and as a stoner, I GREATLY appreciate that. This is amazing!

[@nb2983]

You need to be on chopped canada

[@katherynhennis3116]

They should do a vegan episode and have vegan KZbin cooks as the contestants!

[@salomi311]

She should open a restaurant 😍 I would do the 7h ride to Toronto with a fkg smile in my face just to go there haha

[@missriina84]

+Katheryn Hennis yes differently

[@giselleamador8236]

+Katheryn Hennis she should do a vegan chopped with the edgy veg !!!

[@LilacsAdore]

I totally think she'd win against nonvegan chefs too.

[@dancelover1235]

Honestly I really appreciate your way of presenting veganism. You don't the push the idea down our throats. You only present amazing vegan recipes and have so much fun with it. Really enjoy your channel and I'm not vegan (yet).

[@theartist_harlivi]

I've made these sooooo many times now! I never liked tofu before this recipe and now I want to eat this all the time!!

[@CamilleCuisine]

Yuuuuum!!!! I just love how creative you are!

[@solangieverbel4358]

Lauren is literally my inspiration when i cook

[@melvegan5750]

Talented AF. This is unreal!

[@sharlynbarahona8914]

when lauren was crunching the chip bag... lmao! so cute! this looked great.

[@Kris10Valle]

6:03 , "I'm Lauren Toyota", hahaha. I love you Lauren lol!

[@hotforfood]

[@durantaty28]

And this is why Hot for Food is my favorite vegan channel You guys killed it with this!!!

[@rachaelrobinson3358]

This looks amazing!!! Omnomnom... Also, I love your recipie?!? videos. They really inspired me to make random things with what I had in the fridge which has helped me be a more confident cook, discover some awesome recipies of my own and reduce my food waste. Thanks Lauren!

[@Katie-im1wm]

Been vegan for 3 months and your channel is BAE! John and you are my favorite, can't wait for the book?!

[@darcyvandelaar6200]

THIS START IS SO PRECIOUS OH MAN. Excellent video, as always. You're both my favourites, and I recommend you to everyone I can! Someone I know through instagram recently went vegan after seeing your videos and Lauren's more personal channel because she said you felt so real and genuine and it made it easier to connect with you and see why veganism is a great thing.

[@riskorecipes1382]

We love watching you guys! We aren't vegan but your food makes it seem doable! Keep it up!

[@hotforfood]

awesome thank you! Hope you give some vegan eats a try :D

[@GamingFoodie]

This looks fantastic. Never would have thought about putting these together. Your creativity really shines here!

[@trishbatson2929]

Fun to watch. I love how she improvises and doesn't measure. Just go with it! That's how I roll.

[@libbywatts4897]

I had an idea...because I wanted to make this too but instead of chips, use the coconut bacon + panko. Worth a shot! I love how proud of yourself you are for making this! I've made it a goal to make as many things as I can from hot for food - so far so good!

[@KafkameetsPlath]

That beat is poppin' though lol and that crunch! I'm definitely trying this recipe out!

[@hotforfood]

hope you like it! haha thanks!

[@Noe-gr3pl]

I'm crying this is so awesome, how can hot for food get better when I thought it had already reached perfection srsly

[@kirstenmaclellan3182]

"come at me bro" ... I love this channel!!

[@anandabricker3396]

Recipe?! Is my favorite segment on the channel. I turned your cauliflower wing batter into baked fried mushrooms and my husband couldn't stop going on about them. Keep the ideas rolling. :)

[@jennifercorrales7079]

Watching your videos inspire me to really be creative and work with what I have, never thought that I could! Thank you so so much you guys rock hard af!!

[@moxyoonyx2713]

"Come at me Bro" LOL! Ur the best! Amazing Recipe?!

[@kierstensmokowski9794]

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. lol Lauren you are amazing. your reaction to how good that tastes (now I am hungry.) is hilarious!

[@kierstensmokowski9794]

This is so good I have to go now.... I have to do my schpeel tho. haha

[@ananicole174]

I CANNOT wait to try this recipe! These are my favorite videos! I'm not vegan, but you are totally making me think I don't need meat in my life.

[@katerocks10101]

You are glowing in this video!! Love this series so much :-)

[@spunkiQT]

haha loved that sassy moment "I'm Lauren Toyota and I wanna make this fancy as fuck" when you were talking about making the cheesy sauce

[@allegrahurst149]

You're reaction at the end was so cute!! haha I'm dying

[@angelashikany5329]

Wow, that marinade and chip breading-spectacular

[@M1NDR34D3R]

The auto-generated subtitles are amazing! No seriously, it actually works now!

[@hotforfood]

omg it does :O haha

[@daveangels]

except steak became snake 😂

[@VeganTravel]

100% drooling over here right now.

[@anglbug78]

I swear you are the Rachel Ray of vegan food....I've made so many of your recipes. thank you!!

[@slywlf]

I just discovered your website and now this channel and have been having a blast watching, learning and laughing. Your face was priceless when you finally took that first massive bite - I was so jealous but also giggling at your expressions. New subscriber here, and thank you! I am not even vegan - Paleo actually - but I use a lot of vegan recipes because they got me through rough recipe times after I discovered my dairy allergy, long before I went Paleo, and I love the added healthy variety.

[@jennabratley5631]

I don't even know how many times I've actually watched this video *more than 10* I just love it so much and NEED to make this

[@ashleymurphy1641]

This was my favorite video so far! Super funny & creative :) I love your channel

[@ClarSweet]

My favorite KZbin channel to watch. So inspirational and interesting

[@xxexexex]

I always get the tofu that is vacum sealed and has absolutely no water or sponginess to it. I have never had success with other kinds of tofu, i can never seem to get enough of the water out.

[@sugarpeas45]

I always dry mine like half an hour before cooking. I sandwich it between two paper towels and put a heavy plate on it. Make sure you cut the tofu block in half. More surface area = more draining

[@xxexexex]

At this point ive given up, the other tofu is really firm and easier to work with - no draining. Everytime I've tried to drain water from tofu it ends up a crumbly mess, and i aint got time fo that when im hungry!

[@LexutheDragonLily]

I buy the same stuff and throw it in the freezer and put it on my stove to defrost really fast or just throw it on my steamer basket in my rice cooker.

[@AmbroseReed]

I love watching you improvise awesome stuff! These looked incredible

[@christinexschaffer]

Wednesdays are my favorite days bc i get a hot for food video and sometimes i even get my fave what i ate in a day videos!!

[@jessicagreen3277]

Lauren, you're so freakin hilarious!! lol I love it. I totally cook like this now because of this series! It makes cooking so much fun!! :))

[@cobrien5108]

That looks so good. I love hearing the crunch of the tofu.

[@lmgtulsa]

Dang! I am so happy I found you guys! I don't like to cook, but really, these vids make me want to hang out in my kitchen! Your creativity is awesome and contagious! Thank you and I can't wait to try some of your recipes.

[@mccbutterfly]

When she said her first ingredient was going to be chips my first thought was "what?!". .. When she first pulled out the chips the first thing I thought of was an episode of chopped. that TV show where they used to give the chefs really bizarre ingredient that they had to incorporate in whatever they were making and whoever's was more creative and tasted better won

[@melrenfudy]

I love her facial expression smashing the chips 😂

[@kareno6222]

I love watching you eat Lauren!! You make everything look so good 🤗

[@lexilostinwonderland493]

I bought old bay because of your videos, it's one of the best seasoning I have had .

[@hotforfood]

YASSSS!

[@alliemcreal]

I had no idea what a Double Down was, but this looks AMAZING.

[@kittlen]

I keep returning to this. I believe it's part intrigue and part that look of surprise on the taste test. Good job!

[@taralown7023]

LOVE IT! Fancy AF for sure, I will be making this soon

[@Xlucyftw]

"Come at me bro" 😂😂

[@tinahutber946]

Watching this 24 hours after my wisdom tooth surgery is torture. Cannot wait to try! 😍
