Sauce Recipe:
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup sesame oil
***1/8 cup to 1/2 cup peanutbutter
2 tablespoons chili paste
2 tablespoons sugar
Garlic and ginger to taste
EDIT:
After reading the comments the recipe posted on the site has way too much peanutbutter
mvp
Thank you.. saved being annoyed lol :))
I personally used less sugar and peanutbutter, but a lot of garlic when I made it. Turned out great. Glad so many people found the list helpful (had to dig through their website a little to get it)
events V nice! Yeah I took the sugar out all together and found it was totally fine without it! :)
@Anna R yes it is
I cannot thank you enough for the no nonsense, straightforward education you just handed me. For REAL. I wish you could teach everyone how to make videos.
She really pulled a 2 shots of vodka on us when she said add “a small amount of tofu”
you mean oil?
@@tomokokurokiirl It's a vine reference
@@tomokokurokiirl a woman said to add 2 shots of vodka into a recipe and proceeds to tip the bottle in after
@@crookedbuns the second comment was referring to the “small amount of tofu” bit when talking about oil im pretty sure they understood the reference
I don’t understand the joke, but I would like to.
for crispy tofu cubes:
cut slices
press between kitch towels
cut cubes and put in a bowl
flavour however you want
add oil to the bowl to coat the cubes
add starch and stir until every cube has a thin layer of oil/starch batter
fry with a little bit of oil until super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside
The result is crispier and not as dried out as the crispy versions shown in the video.
wdym starch?
@@scrappycoco3641 i think corn starch?
Starch lol. Narrrr I'm good.
Actually made tofu for the first time today using this recipe. Didn't have chili paste, so I used crushed red peppers instead. Used peanut butter for my nut butter. Was a nice spicy sauce, very delicious!
thanks for the tip im going to use the same thing all i have.
My goodness! You fit so much into less than 5 minutes! This was a wonderful video!
Finally a how to video on CZcams that gets straight to the point with no waffle and clear instructions. Well done and thanks!
Secret top tip : freeze your pressed dofu for a day or two before use - it becomes a little less soft still, and porous (like a sponge) to soak up your sauce : )
Yes, I was going to suggest the same. It can be crispy on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside - like you get in a restaurant.😋
Should I freeze the tofu before pressing it or after?
@@CHANELRAY105 I need to know this tooo lol
@@CHANELRAY105 after! The next day let the tofu thaw out and then press it again
this is an awesome reply section omg thankyou for the advice!
You know, even though i'm not vegan I'm always looking to bring more variety into my diet, so I'm going to save this video and try making some tofu next week. :)
How'd it go??
What does this have to do with being vegan? Tofu isn't a vegan exclusive food.
RaineTCG “even though im not vegan” implies that she thinks its vegan exclusive dumbass
RaineTCG tofu originated in china and has been eaten for years before being vegan was common
Same!
That was such a well made informative video, thank you. Can not wait to try the scrambled tofu.
Hajar Kharbash what does tofu taste like?
What sauce did you use?
@@Paul-tc8di it tastes like nothing unless you marinate it or put sauce on it.
love how u talk 😭 most tutorials make me feel dumb but this was v much from one smart friend to another 👌🏿
"Small amount of oil".
Damn.
Small does not mean ¨as little as you possibly can¨. when talking about liquids, small is certainly more than just a drop, or a squirt, or a tablespoon, or a dazzle, or a splash.
Theres a difference between minuscule, tiny, and small. A tiny cup and a small cup are different.
@@dominicwalli Whoa there, I honestly think you're reading too much into my comment. It was a light-hearted joke.
I'll concede that small can mean a varying number of things... But honestly, who doesn't? Thanks for elaborating, I suppose.
@@ahnrho Lol, relax, i dont know with what kind of inner voice you read that, but i just explained what it could mean.
@@dominicwalli 'Damn'. That's a clean table turn 👏😂.
Yea, my bad. Probably attitude that I carried off from work. Have a great evening 👍
The correct ration is about a tablespoon of oil you know?
Best video I’ve seen on the different ways too cook tofu. Thank you so much! I feel like I’ve never known how to cook tofu properly until now. Definitely going to try that sauce you use too!
This has been the most helpful video in learning to cook tofu! And learning to cook it in many different ways.Thank you sooooo much!
I'm so excited! I've had so many fails with Tofu but I can tell by your TONE you know what you're doing.
I'm quite late but if you see this, I'm forever grateful. Those recipes are easy and look delicious. I've sadly been avoiding tofu but I'm now brave enough thanks to you !
Cooked tofu for the 1st time today. (Fried, with a little cornstarch coating). The idea of it is so much more intimidating than the reality. And I don't cook at all. So don't be afraid... You can do it.
Finally an amazing video showing great ideas for those as myself who does not know what to do with tofu. Thank you
This video was SO informative THANK YOU.......I enjoy when the instructor is speaking rather than music playing in the background!!!!! You gave me a wonderful outlook on my tofu and I loved the different options you provided.....THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
One of the best videos for tofu beginners, like me. Thank you so much!
cover it in a thin layer of cornstarch before you fry it... then come back and thank me.
thank you
Thx
Why would I wanna throw cornstarch in the garbage as well?
Necrobadger it actually works
Cornstarch or cornflour?
I just tried the sauté with rice noodles and shiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Amazing
Lolololololololololl was tasty huh lol
Did you just stir fry the noodles and tofu with more of the sauce from the jug or?
Andrea Ruiz was it good?
Oh okay lololol
I'm glad I found your channel. Direct, and informative. Thanks,
thank you!! my fourth attempt at cooking tofu on my own went so much better than all the other times because of your video !! im really grateful and next time i know what to do differently
I'm going vegetarian and needed to know how to cook this stuff! You were the first video I found and the last I watched! Awesome video and very informative! Thank you! :)
Newbie trying to go veg! So helpful- great explanation of the steps and visuals!
This is the most helpful video I have been able to find. Explains it very clearly and all are quick easy methods. Was watching another one where she said to freeze the tofu for 6 hours but I do not have that time in my day.
love the scrambled tofu recipe so much. crumbling the tofu increases the surface area for the sauce so the tofu tastes so delicious. I added some sugar to the sauce and it really tied everything together for me. I've struggled to make tofu appealing to my palate for years but this helped SO much, thank you!
I have never used tofu before and have no clue as to how to use it; so thank you very much for this video!
This was so helpful thank you!! I like tofu and know I can try and make it myself!
Thank you for just getting right to the main points right way. You have my respect. Very informative and just what I was looking for
Legit, the single most-informative tofu video i’ve seen. Awesome!!
Love this video... I never knew how to do to tofu I just made this and it turned out excellent
It was So Delicious! SO delicious! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to try another way soon. 💜💙💚
Thank you so much for sharing! I've never made Tofu before and is trying it for the first time today. I was looking for how to prepare Tofu and ran across your video. Great recipes!
great video! I've always liked Tofu and these options even make it better!!
Ive tried this, it was really tasty, tofu almost tasted like chicken! But i didnt see the full recipe link so i just put the sauce ingredients without looking at it, it was extremely salty, but still yummy 😂 but i will definitely try it again with the exact measurements! 🥰
This page is so beautifully curated.
Thank you! This is just what I wanted 🧡🙌🏽
Thank you! Having tofu today for the first time and I'm excited to try it out
This is really helpful because I’m trying to go vegetarian
Buy some bottles of vitamins as well before you start.
Same!
@@frenkie6446 which ones do you suggest ?
@@F.R.A.N.K.I.E the brand solgar, like vm75 or vm2000 solgar is the only good brand out there, the others are all synthetic and garbage.
@@frenkie6446 thanks a lot. Will def go out looking for it or if not I'll try ordering it.
I was happy to learn a few years ago after pressing tofu for 3o years that simmering it in water that covers it for 15 minutes does the same thing! Whew- what a great hack.
Did the sauteed version on my Blackstone griddle...came out amazing! Excellent tutorial!👍🏻
Love this! Definitely going to try this weekend! 😊
Thanks for this!
You saved me =] first time cooking with tofu, thanks for the endless ideas!
Enjoy!
This was so helpful, thank you!!!
I found this so late haha but I'm absolutely loving this!! The best ideas to cook tofu for a beginner like me who always wanted to try tofu but didn't know how to cook it. Thank you 😊 ❤️
Thank you, I brought tofu and had no idea how to cook it, Did it al sarten while watching your video. Easy and fast. Thanks for sharing.
Planning to try one day for the first time, what does it taste like?
Sautéed and salted is my favourite.
Thank you! This is was such a great and approachable video to tofu.
Hello from the state of Washington good video God bless!!!:)))
I started the "plant based diet" about 4 weeks ago, and I'm really missing the "meat", but I'm determined to hang in there because the vegan way of eating is "very, very healthy". I bought some Tofu, but I don't have a clue of how to prepare it, so I'm looking for simple recipes on CZcams.
This was a very informative and entertaining video, thanks!
Awww yes ! Finnally took the went from 80/20 to 100% vegitarian this year ! Gonna try these recipies !
You deserve more subs!!!
when have none of the ingredients for the sauce...
Same☠️😂😭
Salt
Got them!
Same salt is the best we got 😂
Wtf it’s 50 seconds in? 🤣
I made tofu today with onions and seasoning and it tasted like an egg. An egg that needed more seasoning haha I'm so excited for sauce you mentioned and I'm definitely going to try. Thanks for the video!
Great presentation and Thanks for sharing such delicious recipes. I will definitely add these to my culinary menu. 💗👍
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 😖😭💕
Great video! Thanks!
This is just what I was looking for. I need to cook with tofu for health and economic reasons. Now it looks like I’ll enjoy it, too. Thank you!
Thanks for the recipe. I really loved it!
I love tofu, but I've never tried to make it as I don't know which to use, silken, soft, hard etc.
Thanks for letting me know which to use, your recipes look great.
2:06 sauté is already in it's preterit form xD
Beautiful recipes! Very well presented! This whets your appetite
Pinch of yum I enjoyed your video and great job with the tofu. Please have a blessed day.
Just an advice concerning the sauce: don’t put sesame oil in it because once it’s in the pan, it burns.
Damn now I'm starving lol
I’ve never cooked tofu before and this was super informative, thanks for the video!
always wanted to try tofu, now i finally bought some and cant wait to try these methods
I would love to try this. I've cooked tofu and I just didn't like the texture. Maybe marinated it
I never had tofu. I always see it at the grocery store. Nice though.
This was perfect having it for Thanksgiving this year in place of turkey. Thank You
Wonderful! So happy to learn the various ways to cook tofu!😀💕
I’m so excited to give tofu a try now! Thanks for a great video! Is the recipe for the main sauce on the website?
Yes, it is!
Can you still do a 30 minute marinate before frying or would it only work with baking?
You could do the same with pan frying!
Marinating time depends on the size of the pieces to some degree, but it no doubt helps in both cases.
Thank you!! It looks delicious i can’t wait to try this :)
Hands down the best "what to do with tofu" video out there!!!!!
I always vocal fry my tofu
Too funny! Her vocal fry was turned up to 11
What’s the recipe for the noodle bowl and the lettuce wraps?
Yaritza Rodriguez on the internet
@@inkkladar what a helpful comment lmao..
Awesome video! Short and straight to the point, unlike others.
A great primer on how to cook tofu. You make it look easy enough that I want to give it a try.
2:07
Sautéed Tofu
Do you always have to use sauce like that?
NO SAUCE!?😖
🤔
As they said, it comes completely unseasoned. Some sort of sauce or seasoning is recommended if you like your food to have taste, but not necessary
Nice video: simple, clear & helpful
Thanks for this great video! Very helpful.
Looks great, but the sauce is entirely made up of things I would never have at home. Except the soy sauce
That's what grocery stores are for LOL.
Try soy sauce, sugar & garlic . Simple but delicious .
Sounds like a you problem. Now get your lazy ass up and get it done
When you search for Tofuu and you get this... 😅
SMe
Lmao
Well, this video is why I'm here.
Brilliant!!!!! Thank you for demystifying tofu. I know I’ll love it because the sauce ingredients are strongly flavored. Can hardly wait to try!
P.S. Didn’t know you had a CZcams channel. Been foo for years on Pinterest. Thanks again.
Best tofu video ever!!! Thank you!!!!
“Add sauce”
Me: HOW YOU MAKE THE SAUCE??
Pretty sure its the one she made for the first recipe😊
She specified the sauce she will use in all the recipes is the sauce made in the beginning
Yeah that'll be the one she specifically showed how to make and said she was gonna use it in each recipe.
🥲😂
Don’t cook my fav youtuber!
Jus tK loll
Glad I found this video. Gonna give my first tofu a try today or tomorrow :) thanks for sharing! Looks delicious
@@chaosGooseDE I decided to make the pan fried version. But I couldn't find all the ingredients for the sauce + I burned everything up lol.. Better luck next time hopefully..
Lots of great ideas. Thanks.
I cooked them so wrong lol it was so plain and dry even when I seasoned it
Add more oil :)
Just go with the paneer recipe💁🏻♂️ instead of putting paneer just put tofu in it. Try it & lemme know.
Best video about tofu quick and simple
Great video. You have a very pleasant disposition. Thank you for the lesson.
I think I burnt mine each way 🤔
ink it up! 😂😂
