Buffalo Tofu

- Any opportunity to incorporate Buffalo sauce is an opportunity worth taking! In this video we show you a tried and true cast iron pan frying method to crisp up the sides of the tofu before tossing it in a classic Buffalo-style hot sauce. This is a great vegan recipe to make as an appetizer alone, but we also show you how to punch it up into a full meal by adding brown rice, roasted broccolini and green beans.
Keep cooking, you got this!

I've been anti marriage pretty much my entire life. I will definitely make an exception for you. I love watching you cook. What a great way to make tofu. I love buffalo style everything. Thank you so much for this recipe! And stay compassionate 🐖🐄🐐🦃🐤
What a sweet comment!! Hats off to u !!
I’ve riffed on a few of your recipe videos. They’re amazing. It’s so nice to see a proper Chef cooking plant food with tried techniques and know-how. I watch so many vegan recipes videos with iffy procedures that go against all of my training as a cook.
I need someone to look at me the way Derek looks at his plated meals. Haha Ok but seriously, thank you for giving us so many meal ideas! And you break it down and make simple, easy to make meals accessible. You spice that with LOVE, man. Noted and appreciated
Gotta love your channel, like your recipes and most importantly, I adore your mentioning of being vegan. You're wholeheartedly awesome, Derek! Much love.
i've been watching alot of these videos in the last year and never comment on it.
I love what you, Sarno brothers, do!
Thanks for all the recipes!
Great tips, can't wait to try this! Thank you!
Definitely going to try this very soon!!! Thank you!!
This looks great! I was drooling over the Asian BBQ tofu you did a while ago and I just happen to have everything I need to recreate it. Thank you for sharing!
Will definitely be trying this!!! Killing it with these recipes 🔥🔥🔥🌱🌱🌱
Ooohhhh, looks delicious. Love you guys!!
Thank you so much for all these great, simple recipes. You make this way of eating so accessible. And you are so casual and chill. I love the kitten-washing-its-paws video when you go to wash your hands, the small cat figurines on the shelf behind you and the Buddha by the oven. You are inspiring!
Thank you, Susan! So happy to hear that you are enjoying the cooking!!
I love your artistic oven boards. Colorful and elegant
Thank you for sharing another wonderful recipe video. 🇨🇦😎
Made this last night and it was a hit! I had everything needed to make it from the broccolini to the green beans and brown rice only took 20 minutes in the rice cooker! Thanks again Derek!
You’ve done it again Chef Derrick! I’m just so amazed at how you make every dish looks so scrumptious. Keep it coming and yes, I’m going to make the buffalo tofu, mashed potatoes, and string beans Saturday. Chefs kiss 😘
Great recipe, as always. Thank you 👍❣️
Looks amazing.
That sauce is so clever. How have I never thought about whisking my sauce with butter!
Game changer!!
This is a great recipe. So far I've done a Teriyaki sauce version when I seasoned the cubes with Furikake. And I've also done a version with Szechuan seasoning and Char Siu sauce. My family loves it. Thanks so much.
Looks delicious! I’m making this for lunch tomorrow 👍🏻
I love watching your vids Derek, the care you put in making your dishes so pretty on the eye and watching your tidy workflow throughout. You defo inspire me. Thanks for all the knowledge you share along the way.
Awesome, thank you for sharing that, Jack! It means a lot to hear things like this...definitely just want to share the knowledge and help people cook plant-based. We'll keep the videos coming!
Fantastic recipe as always and thank you also for being vegan and all for all the products and recipe book and your brother made.
ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!!!!
Your veggies always look yummy on a baking pan wow 😋
I love your tofu videos! Finding vegan recipes I can cook in China can be challenging, but your tofu dishes are easy to replicate here.
Glad you like them! We'll keep 'em coming and hopefully keep you fed over there in China!
🥰😋 YUMMY YUM YUM YUM 😋🥰
Tofu is magic!! This recipe looks absolutely amazing. Always impressed by the beautiful plating 😍
This made me want to eat green beans, and I don’t even like them!
I love this sort of content that reminds me of stuff I used to do in cooking school, except it’s vegan. It looks delicious, and I definitely need to step up my roasting game after watching how you placed everything on the sheet pan so nicely!
Looks good!
YUM! you are making me want to cook tofu and mushrooms, I hope I can make them as good as your's look and taste.
Im really enjoying and salivating ocer your gorgeous meals. Can you do, if you havent already a teriyaki tofu please??
I absolutely love buffalo style anything.. I usually use cauliflower but tofu is on my list now. Your dish looks amazing! ❤️
Thanks, Mom! I'm a way better cook than Chad, right??
Wicked Healthy I’m not going there. 🤭🤭🤣🤣
All my favourite ingredients including Derek 😍😆
Awesome 👍😊
Its funny when people say that it'll last them all week when I'm thinking it would be perfect for a single meal :\
...love the zen of plating the finished product...ty for details to make it easy...cast iron is life imho 🌶
Lindy Lindy loooooove cast iron !!!!!!!!
I love the ease of this. Looks healthy and tasty. Will for sure try this.
Awesome, Calvin! Give it a shot...Buffalo-anything happens a lot in my house!!
Yum!! Cannot wait for this channel to blow up!
Thank you for the kind words!! Thanks for watching!
YUM!
I love your tofu dishes ❤
Thank you and thanks for watching
Yur sooooooo perfect !!!!!!!
LOL...tell that to my little brother!
Where do you get your extra firm tofu. I've been binge watching your shows for a few days now. They are very addictive. Thank you.
Thanks!! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! As for finding extra-firm tofu...totally depends on what your local stores carry. They’re all different with what they stock, so you might have to look around a few places until you find it.
You make my kind of food!
Yes!! That's what we're here for! Thank you for watching!
I got an airfryer a couple of months ago, a real game changer. Maybe an idea to try for you guys?
I cook for myself and make enough for my neighbor… getting her into plant base… she loves my cooking. I tell her after no meat… lol
Making it right now 🍲🥘❣️👍with what I have on a side which are [frozen] avocados 🥑 instead of these greens [love greens but don’t have them - only Swiss chard in home garden]
Pretty good even when done by me the worst of worst home “cook” - I can only imagine what it tests like done by the expert 🧑🍳👨🍳
I love watching your videos. Really inspirational (definitely making this this week), and informative. 😁
Icast iron pans have always seemed like a lot of work to me (cleaning them and seasoning etc.), but would you say they are better in any way to a decent non stick pan? Or that the results you get from them make the maintenance worth it? 😊
Kasey Blade Cast iron is actually really easy. There are lots of good resources online that will show you basic care and maintenance for them, but honestly, they’re easier in a lot of way compared to traditional non-stick pans.
@@DerekSarnoChef Awesome, thanks for the reply. I'll have a look into it. 😁
You are awesome.
So are you, Aaron!!
Love i!
WHY Did I just now find u ??
Yur sooooooo AWESOME !!!!
Thanks, Elissa!! YOU are awesome! Thanks for your support!!
Hey, Derek! Love this channel (I’ve been binge watching) and the book! My liver is bad 🥵 and I really try to avoid oil. Chicken wings were my favorite food when I used to eat meat - which I don’t miss at all, by the way! I really want to try this recipe. What is your suggestion to get seasoning to stick without oil? I used aquafaba for another recipe and it was good, but I don’t always have that on hand. Thanks for your help! 👊🏼
Hi Michelle, thanks for watching. You don't have to use oil, or use very little, maybe bake them rather than searing. It can be done - it's just not the focus on this video.
🤘🏼
That is a gorgeous plate but I would eat all that in one sitting
Can you get the same crispyness without the oil and pressing down with a pan as you do with mushrooms ?
Love the way you cook only using a few pans. Would like to know if you press the tofu before using?
Hi Wendy, there was no tofu pressing in this recipe. Some we do, but this one works without.
Do you press the tofu before cooking?
They are great… 1mintue and there ready. The rice I use when I am lazy and enough for one person.
Just here to say I made your cucumber dill dressing and it ain’t bad. Needs a little heat. But as far as cucumber dressing at least I could taste it.
I grow dill in the summer so always looking for dill recipes.
Thanks for at least putting in some spice and enough you can taste
🚶🚪🦕
And there enough that it’s not a one salad waste of time.
Derek - you first season the tofu and fry it but after it comes out of the oven you then cover it in the hot sauce. Doesn’t the hot sauce mask the barbecue flavouring you used earlier?
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Are you cooking this on a convection oven? Why I ask is because I heard a fan running when you opened it.
Do you press the Tofu first?
Ok, this will be my third Wicked recipe this week. I'm officially an addict. So, I know you said you didn't press the tofu for the breakfast tacos (which were a hit by the way), but did you press it for this recipe? Do you ever press your tofu?
Hi. Thanks for making the recipes and hope you enjoy! I did not press the Fu. I do not press tofu anymore, there are enough super firm tofus out there that do not require it plus its an extra step I usually don't have time for. Hope that helps.
Hi Derek!
Can you tell us which brand of tofu you are using then?I can’t find firm tofu like the one in your video nowhere 🤷🏻♂️ And the reason of not cooking tofu is because I have to press it
Derek got me loving broccolini!
It's a gateway veg! 🥦
I just plugged u on a channel that has over 400 thousand subscribers !!!!!
Boom! That is so kind of you...we appreciate it!!
I think he didnt dare to try to eat this afterwards because of the whole bottle of hot sauce he put in it :D
I love spicy and this is delicious! This was shot back when I wasn't thinking about eating the food on camera. Have learned since then in the new ones. Thanks for watching.
@DerekSarno108 oh, thanks for the reply! love your videos, keep em coming pls! (im cooking something rn inspired by the brisket from your bro)
Kids, don't forget to eat your vegtablblblm 🤣🤣
I love your recipes and look forward to every video.
What I enjoy most are your climate change inserts. It's incredibly funny how grown-up people follow a group of liars in the IPCC and parrot everything a group of unscrupulous profiteers tell the world
Love your videos. Can you tell us where you get your extra firm tofu? Your connection with Tesco makes us think the ingredients in your recipes come from there. They don't even stock FIRM Tofu. How can we make up your recipes if we can't get the ingredients anywhere? SO ANNOYING!!!
Ha! Here in Italy I have the opposite problem. Tofu tends to be available only in the firm range, while sometimes, esp. in soups, I'd love to have the kind of soft tofu that's used in China. Nobody seems to know it here. Pity.
The best extra firm tofu is at Trader Joe’s. Think extra extra extra firm
That's a lot of "X's" Xavier! 😂 Thanks for the tip though!
One recommendation I'd make is to consider making the videos shorter. I am watching this in 2* the speed at the moment. So if you can edit it, it'll make it a bit shorter, especially for simple recipes like this.
Thanks for the tips! This is an older video and we've since streamlined the speed of the videos quite a bit. But watching it in 2x is also fun!
It’s such a PLEASURE cutting tofu.....u know? B/c u don’t have to worry abt the torture & F A T !!!
Nice cooking...
Just one question:why do you use cheap-plastic-bottled oil??Makes me cringe..(for your health & the environment)😉
