- Done in 5 minutes. Here’s a quick and easy, stuff your face cook up, when you’re in a rush and looking to fill your belly. This is what I eat when I’m hungry and want something quick and filling. And it's vegan and a healthier whole food, done fast. Tofu hits the spot, again!
Ingredients.
350 g Extra super firm tofu, cut into 4 slices
1 tomato, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
2 soft squishy buns
2 -3 Tablespoons BBQ BEAST seasoning
Recipe here • CHEF EXPLAINS Nutritio...
Olive oil & Vegan Butter
Vegan mayo
BBQ sauce
Salt and pepper
I don't know if you like egg salad, but I made up a recipe. I use a quarter of a block of extra firm tofu, 1/2 cold baked potato, peeled, I mash those together, I add chopped red onion, and celery. I season with garlic powder, turmeric, and some kala namak. Then I add vegan mayo. mix it all up, it's ready to put on a wrap or toasted bread, with romaine lettuce. It's really good.
Sounds delicious. I'd probably add some nooch to it.
Sounds really good. Keeping this one. Thanks
you should make a video!!!
The baked potato addition is genius!
Sounds great i'm gonna try it 👍👌😊
I am liking Derek's "Imma go be a wizard now" phase.
😂🫶
Yeah right?! I was just thinking the same, stylish :D
Needs a smidgen of wax to get the stache JUST right 😊 Come on Derek, make the "handlebar" community proud!
Always nice to know what chefs make for themselves, I'm usually putting a lot of effort into food for my friends and family and find when I cook for myself I put barely any in. This seems like the perfect result for the time and effort put in, can't wait to try it soon. :)
Oh I’d feed my friends this too 👍
Yummers! I do a similar sambo! Love it! Frankie’s not impressed with the lettuce offering, could see the look of disgust! 😂😂😂
New subscriber here.. This looks really good! I will have to try this
Looks good. I need some smoked vegan Gouda on there.
As someone who knows what it’s like to film and edit solo, you not only do such a great job at sharing your cuisine ideas, your craft and such, you do an amazing job of filming and editing it, solo.
Thank you! We all appreciate you! 💜
I didn't feel hungry at all until I watched this!! You and Frankie make the perfect team!
I’ve never eaten tofu but that sure looks yummy
I just love watching you and Frankie! Your videos have everything- kind and delicious food, kitchen tips, satisfying cooking sounds, mesmerizing knife skills, and an amazing dog companion as the chef’s kiss to the whole operation.
Well said!
💯
I could sit and watch you cook all day! Watching you chop veggies is therapeutic. Thank you for another great meal!
i LOVE to see more super quick recipes, for us struggling folk! I´m gonna make that BBQ seasoning and try this.
Did he show what was in it in an earlier video?
@GINZO4849 at the end, in the upper right corner is a link. It's called "Flavor Booster"
I hope you followed through! I just made the seasoning today and we tried these burgers. I’m going to cut the tofu differently next time (our blocks are different shape) so it’s more manageable and picks up more seasoning, but this was a REALLY good sando. We enjoyed it and I think it’s one of the few recipes I’ve cooked that sticks to the time frame when I do it myself!
Shit make that super quick and super cheap! I’m vegan in the hood and literally most of my money goes to feeding myself. If I was a omnivore I’d be very wealthy rn 😂
Appreciate your dedication to showing us how to when you’re starving! Looks great!
My pleasure!! Thanks for watching
I have not known anyone that eats tofu like you do. I will have to give it another chance with your teaching ….. You did inspire me to clean up my cast iron … I had put it away a long time ago … but kept my 3 favorite pieces from my grandmother’s kitchen. Appreciate the fun with Frankie … fur companions have a way of holding your heart and bring a lot love to your life. Thanks for sharing generously on your you tube channel.
Keep going! You are an inspiration to not only vegans but humans who are trying to be kind and loving in everything we do :-) Hugs to you.
Hahaha Frankie spitting out the lettuce 😅 my dog does the same, it's like she takes it to be polite then spits it out the side of her mouth 😂
Miss America is like, “wtf did you just give me”
Chef, I had to laugh cuz our dogs are the same. She doesn’t like lettuce but she loves spinach, even before I cook it!! I made a power salad and told her she wouldn’t like it but she ate the bit I gave her. Couldn’t believe it!!
I sometimes call me dog my shadow cuz she follows me like right behind and over to one side. ♥️
I would love to cook with you chef Derek!! We eat the same way! I don’t say goodbye so Chow! 💋🤗
Oh. I meant to ask what kind of tofu did you use? Or was it squished dry?? Can’t wait to make your recipes!! The eggplant fish sandwich first! You’re a love!! 💕
I’m fasting- and drooling; but that looks heavenly! Love the red onion combo.
watching cooking videos while fasting is very masochistic.
Derek, if no one told you today, you look great. Love the hair.
Oh thank you! It’s my I’m done with corporate look 😂
You had a young corporate look
I’m loving it! Thank you 💚💚
Ditto, loving the peach fuzz. 😂
Yes ! i didn't dare to mention :)
Quick and easy tofu sandwiches are one of the greatest things! (And a good reason to watch the flavor booster video again.)
Looks yummy 👍🏻
Lost my dog two months ago after 12 years. Lovely to see Miss America ❤
I’m so sorry ❤️
I´m sorry for your loss. :(( I lost mine 2 years ago, and I am still often sad about it.
may your pup rest in peace. much love!
Sorry for your loss 😢
This ain't about you lol
My condolences. I just last my cat last year. Bottle fed him and had him about the same amount of years. I'm still mourning, so i know you are!
*digital hugs*
Well done . Your recipes are always simple and very tasty
😊
Thank you for sharing your wonderful food world and Miss Frankie! Looks so delicious. My dog loves all veggies especially lettuce! You do such an incredible job! Now I'm hungry. And your old man slippers had just more charm not that you need it! 💚
😂🫶
Quick and tasty. Tofu is so versatile.
This video changed my life. Longtime vegan, decent cook, but was being too precious with my approach. I love how you keep it real and make the simplest meal robust and fulfilling. Your kind soul speaks louder than words. Thank you for opening up a whole new world to me! ❤👨🍳
Man, you are the ultimate vegan Wizard! I could watch you cook all day. I get so hungry seeing your delightful-looking food! I'll try this recipe for sure. Love to gorgeous Frankie.
Soooo, your version of fast is still more effort than us lazy people who consider fast as heating up left overs! 😊 you are very inspiring and I hope to have the connection and love for food that you do one day...💜🐶💜
You first have to make something to have leftovers. 🫶
Oh my! I’m droooooling! LOVE the food inspiration and the new look!
Looks delicious! 💚 I also did a quick tofu with roasted red peppers 😋 I’m definitely going to try this one! 😉
Sounds great!
Looks delicious!
It's a banger! Thank you.
I still love seeing your beautiful spirit ❤
Beautiful girl. Keep the loving. Thank you for your vegan meals, suggestions.
Thank you for the Recipe! Will be making this
Nice one Derek , I like that you always take time to include and spoil Frankie . Cheers
She deserves so much 🫶
Aaaand… we’re making this tomorrow! I really enjoyed the short format. A quick idea from a brilliant mind is always welcome!
Great inspiration, will try this weekend.
Btw. the beard makes you look very… sophisticated! 🎉😂
Thanks! 😃
My tofu sammies have reached stratospheric levels of yum! Your breakfast one, was my first inspiration! Thanks! 😋
Will be making this soon.
That looks so good. I'm gonna try it next but with your vegan BBQ sauce.
I basically make the exact same sandwich but I'll press into the tofu salt, pepper and nooch. Gives it a great little crust and it's so tasty!
Yum 😋 will defo be making this 👍
It's so good!
I like taking super firm tofu and slicing very thin and sautéing it in some olive oil similar to what you did here. Slicing the super firm tofu very thin makes it absorb more seasoning and it’s got a real meaty texture and bite 😊
Hi Derek, thank you, looks delish. Definitely on my to cook list❤. Love the way Frankie looked at you after tasting the lettuce. PS everyone should own a pair of old man slippers, love them. Gale x
Made out of recycled plastic bottles 🫶🤌
Yesss sirrr - quick and looks good!
Your meals just always look amazing! And love your filming style.
Easy peasy, and delicious! Thanks for posting 🙂
you are so inspiring, always maintaining a clean cutting board, giving love to your pup, no one else on YT can compare...
Frankie is adorbs. Thanks for sharing your culinary ideas too.
Thank you, Chef Derek. I live in India where tasty, vegetarian food is easy to make or get. But I also love the western approach to plant based cooking. Today I made this tofu burger, following your recipe. The family is very impressed! :-) And my daughter loves your channel - especially because of Frankie.
I just love your videos, the best happy therapy in the world. Love you both ❤
hey derek, do you have planned any video on making non-soy tofus such as lentil? I'm curious if you have any tips for seasoning, pressing, etc. that are different from making normal tofu. thanks for this recipe!! looks fantastic
No plans are n the near future for that one, will keep in mind tho
It’s very satisfying watching you wipe and clean as you go. Also I love tofu sandwiches so much. It’s perfect! And will try mine with pan fried tomatoes next time.
Man you make me want to make videos like this. Love it.
What a wholesome person!!
Your sandwiches 🥳 OMG..They are bonkers they look so good. I cook for alot of non vegetarians/ vegans.So I love these ideas the nutritional yeast bbq flavor jar! mind blown so smart.
Fast & fabulous.🔥Another winner!💯
Thanks for watching
Absolutely love the serene atmosphere in your kitchen. The tofu looks delicious! And that sensational lettuce rip moment 😄 Thank you for sharing the recipe, I'll definitely try it. Big hug to you and Miss America ❤
This is what I’m talking about 🥳 Incredible as always
Thanks Sam!
I made this for my family and it was so good! Restaurant quality combination of flavors, yet pretty straight forward to make. I was out of tofu and subbed soy curls that I soaked in Better Than Bouillon Italian Herb Broth and then tossed in your BBQ Beast recipe and drizzled with BBQ sauce. Other than adding dill pickles and pickled jalapenos, the rest of the recipe was unchanged. Filling, delicious, quick. Didnt feel heavy after eating. Perfect.
Thank you to you and Frankie!
Really great recipe for healthy meal non meat based! Looking forward to future videos!
Delish and super quick. We have a new entry for our go-to meals. Love this one! Thank you!
Yummy chef, doing soon, aka wed....did spanish stew for tonite.....
Sounds great!
@DerekSarnoChef did Hermann version...took couple days, but ready to simmer off in a few hrs....🌱😋🫶
I always wondered how to eat tofu without breading it and all that. This looks wonderful and I need to try this! Thank you for this! Hello to Frankie!!!!
Love it! I've never tried seasoning the tofu after cooking (other than minor sprinkles), just marinating it before. Definitely have to try this!
It's so good! And easy
I love watching your videos! I am eating raw vegan right now in my life but I get inspired by your recepies. You are so amazing!
That's a super good, quick meal for sure. Ms Frankie watching you devour that tofu sandwich 😯😂 🌱😋
So delicious 🫶
Found your channel yesterday, & quickly subscribed. I'm enjoying your videos. Frankie is adorbs. Recently lost my Terrie 🐶, so visually loving on Frankie. 💖
Thank you for sharing your recipes and its good to see America's sweetheart every video! (Frankie ofc).
Frankie loves the tofu!❤. The sandwich looks bomb! I made a breakfast sandwich today, with slabs of tofu, nooch mixture, and some roasted potatoes, onions and peppers..sooo good and fast….I need to get some Baby Rays BBQ sauce and make your sandwich, though. Thanks for the inspo, Derek!
pick it! i love watching your fast and easy meal ideas!
Yay! Thank you!
This dish is a winner! I'm already looking forward to having it again, tomorrow. It was so tasty and not tasty for a vegan dish, just plain delicious food. Thanks so much.
I'm doing some similar Sammy today only instead of lettuce using bread&butter sweet pickles, slab of portobello mushroom and thin sliced tofu strips. THANK YOU DEREK!!
OMG! I made this last night. I am not a huge fan of tofu on sandwiches, but I made it exactly as written for my husband and it was amazing. For me, I added some smashed avocado and cilantro to the recipe, and it was perhaps the best sandwich I’ve ever ever had! The onions and jalapeños and barbecue sauce just made this meal. Amazing! I just discovered your channel with this video and watch several since then. I like seeing some of your techniques as much as the recipe themselves. It’s nice to see how a professional does things and your little tips and tweaks that really help save time. For example, like why do I not toast my buns? Lol that simple thing elevated the sandwich so much Thank you.
Fried buns, tofu, onions plus any sauce from the fridge. Start was similar to your recipe😂 but if I am super lazy, then I barely fry anything just to avoid washing my pan afterwards.
Thanks for sharing real life cooking with us ❤🥰❤️
Love your girl 🥰 Your food 😋and your mood 😇 Beautiful soul ❤ You deserve only good things
Thank you so much 🤗
Who needs Beyond Meat when you could make these!!! Yum 😋
I like it all!
@@DerekSarnoChef Good point - Beyond Meat has a place too… and is yummy too!!
Derek - your work is awesome, your presentation style is calming and instructing,,, Just great.
I saw the video yesterday and i had to try it. I'm not vegan, but i want to eat less meat and I'm eating this burger right now, and its just amazing! Flavourfull, delicious and i dont miss anything. Even my daughter loved it (without the onions 😅). Thank u so much for the inspiration. Greetings and all the best to Frankie and you from austria.
Thanks for a recipe without microwave, grill etc. I don’t have any of these. Will definitely try this recipe….it’s very easy and simple!!
Looks so delicious! I’m hungry, now~ thanks so much for your great cooking🌟🧡🌟🧡 thanks Derek 🥑🍒🍆, very dapper . My brother looked the same .. lol.
Love what you do Derek. Keep doing you.
I can’t wait to make that nutritional yeast seasoning. This sandwich looks so good. And this video was heartwarming to watch.
That looks so great! Thank you for the excellent videos and the wonderful meals that you share. And the recipes. How we can eat healthy and fast. eating healthy is easy just got to do it. And look at all that protein in the tofu! Excellent!
I made these sandwiches for my family today. SO good. I have two teenagers who would rather eat nothing but Beyond burgers and granola bars all day, but they cleaned these up. Every bite. Even the one who thinks he doesn't like tofu. :)
Thanks so much for these recipes. This sandwich has become a favorite in my house already. We are vegetarian, but when I cook at home it's about 90% vegan. The only thing holding us back the other 10% is my children's love of grilled cheese and mac and cheese 😂 But recipes like this are so helpful in finding great new recipes, and they're delicious! Thank you for sharing these gems.
Derek, I've made this sandwich 3 times since you posted it and I love it for a really quick meal... But it's also so so tasty! I've been calling it the Sarno Sandwich and it just keeps getting better every time I make it!
I adore you 🥰 I actually make the same when I am hungry. If I don't have any tofu, I will make it with mushrooms. You inspired me to make my own nutritional beast seasonings, in larger batches! And I wanna tank you for that 😁 I bought a crockpot yesterday, and ordered a tofu press. Gonna make som delicious vegan yoghurt and experiment with tofu making!
Derek, you are one of my greatest inspirations for high quality vegan cooking. When I was younger I always wanted to be a chef, but went into medical instead and kept cooking as a hobby. A question:
I want to improve my cooking skills and knowledge. What are the best books and other sources you'd recommend?!
Very polite of Miss Frankie to take the lettuce even though she didn’t want it 😂❤
She knows more is coming, always
I just subbed based on your one video. If you can make tofu look appetizing after the awful experiences I had, you earned it! When I became a vegetarian three decades ago, I had tofu prepared at a restaurant that I had been told did excellent tofu. It was inedible. I tried cooking it at home using my trusted Chinese cookbook. Same result. In the last couple of years I am having problems getting sufficient protein; I developed lactose intolerance plus my daughter enlightened me about the plight of diary cows. I no longer will eat diary, even if I could.
To top it off, I have discovered that the original digestive issues I attributed to meat was in fact due to the anti nutrients in the foods that make up the backbone of my diet: beans, peas, legumes, grains and nuts. At a time of my life when I have the least amount of energy to devote to food preparation, I am having to wash, rinse, soak, wash, rinse, soak, repeat ad nauseam! The food is now tasteless (but that may be due to having had Covid-19; need an antigen test.)
Time to try tofu again. I will be viewing your videos. Thanks!
Diggin the recipe. Lovin the slippers as you always knock it out the ballpark. ❤️ 🥘 🥪
Derek, you're my hero. Thanks for this vid
I don’t think I could even eat half of that! How do you eat that quantity of food as a plant eater? I’ve been vegan almost a year and still get full so fast!
Checked my fridge and I've got everything ready to go, for tomorrow though. I've been cooking and cleaning for others all day so this will be my breakfast. Thank you, Derek
Awesome sandwich.. I’ve been making mine just like this minus the bbq beast. Gonna try and make my own seasoning.
Thanks for sharing
Yep! Im making that!😊
Hello Mister Derek,
Thank you for sharing this recipe, I probably will try it in a near futur !
May I also say, hoping that I won't offend you, that you look very wise and handsome with the beard .
please give Miss Frankie a cuddle from a crazy Old Lady, she made me laugh while she was watching you munch on the burger . Have a lovely evening
Good and simple
Great meal idea! You make it so delicious!! Thank you
Good looking sandwich, Derek! Thanks.
I must admit, I hate to cook. I don’t know why. But in watching you…I am completely inspired and plan to change my ways! I’m curious if eating your way helps you lose weight? I love the sound effects, the ease, everything (even to me, a tofu hater) looks simply delicious and scrumpy, the way you clean as you go, and just the creativeness while being simple is absolutely awesome! If you can get to me to love tofu that will definitely help keep me on track with plant based and I’ll consider it a miracle. I’m mostly plant based but my diet is absolutely horrible and non nutrient dense. I’m gearing up to start following some of your recipes! ❤🎉
I would love to see you make some raw vegan or more raw meals! Love u
Looks absolutely amazing
Hi Derek, Aww thanks i love fried food but totally agree having to open the door or windows cooking onions. love it.🧅🤩
