      Why is it called Chopped Cheese when it's more hamburger meat & seasonings than cheese? I'm from NY & I've never heard of this.

    I really appreciate that you use alternatives like tofu, tvp and soy curls as alternatives to beyond or impossible. The mock meats are way out of my budget!

  • @lindsaytoussaint

    YES!
    As a harlemite (let it be known this sandwich originated in Harlem ✊🏾) the bread must be a hero (italian long roll) if you come here (yes you can get vegan chopped cheese in some bodegas) I beg you don’t order it on a Kaiser (or just “roll” here), it may be a more manageable portion but it just hits different on a hero! And for additional fixins I’m team pickled jalapeños or banana peppers all day.

  • @stephensano9156
    @stephensano9156 Před 11 měsíci +3

    Mind blown Burger dude! I was engulfed in watching you craft the marinade when my mind wondered why such a rich flavorful marinade, including gravy browning, for a chopped cheese? Perhaps it was just a brain fart, but either way my excitement grew with every cooking step. Then I was sad when the marinade met the Tofu with only slight color change. Cooking the Tofu made a major difference as did rehydrating and reducing the cooking liquid. However, your wealth of knowledge creating great Vegan meats brought that Tofu to a beautiful, crispy, non-meat reduction that certainly rivals any meat-based Chopped Cheese. Nice job!

  • @jackseve

    Thanks for the idea. I’m trying this with mushrooms and lentils to make a ground meat. Possibly adding a little VWG. Going to try the same instead of the tofu.

    • @lordjavathe3rd
      @lordjavathe3rd Před 11 měsíci +1

      Yeah, Lentils is what I have too. I was considering making it when spirits were guilt tripping me for burning lentils by frying them like a burger. Oh brother, that and I don't have any oil right now. I could really go for a veggie burger.

    @Lep_19 Před měsícem

    Tried this today, tastes pretty great! I'm not a vegan but it hit all the right notes from other homemade chopped cheeses I've made. I will say though for anyone making it, the bake time given in the video is completely off lol, at least for my oven. It took a total of about an hour and a half of baking + a bit of broiling to get things near crispy enough to work for a sandwich, and that's without any of the rehydrating shown in the vid. Just be prepared for a time investment if you go the tofu route!
