    Guys, one more tip that I share with people all the time. If you want to double the recipe or you're worried that it may go bad before you use it, here's a great solution I found years ago that Dr. McDougall doesn't know about. First off, you will need some rosemary extract. Just go to any grocer and you should be able to find some amidst the other extracts. Now, for every batch of mayo you make, add 3 drops of rosemary extract to your mayo. You can add the extract in at the time you are making the mayo and then it gets distribution perfectly. Rosemary has been used as a preservative for hundreds of years. Long before we had refrigerators. However, my tip comes with a warning. Don't use any more than three drops unless you are making a double recipe. Otherwise you will have rosemary mayo. See, with just three drops, you won't taste the rosemary. But the natural preservative will keep your mayo for a week, or longer.
    Try it the next time you make mayo. Cheers.

      I have also read about fermenting mayo with kefir to make it last longer. I know milk kefir isn’t vegan, but maybe that principle could still be applied here. With tofu, though, I don’t know. The real problem isn’t spoilage from contamination, but that tofu itself turns sour so quickly, I would think. Does the rosemary extract actually solve that? Neat trick - I bet it has plenty of uses. I hope I can track some down.

    You are right - the Mori-Nu Silken tofu is the best for mayo or other types of creamy dressings. It uses a very mild coagulant an is much more flavorful. If you want your mayo to taste more like the "real thing", add a tiny pinch of Kala Namak (black salt). No more than 1/8 teaspoon for a single recipe of mayo. I also make McDougall's Tofu Island Dressing, and it is amazing with this same tofu and black salt. I also add about a teaspoon of sugar, simply because I like a slightly sweeter "Thousand Island" dressing. Anyway, my wife and I love you guys!

      Hi Robert. I always hated that sulfur taste from the black salt, that's why I don't use it. But yes, it does make it taste more egg based for sure. I know lots of people love it. Tim likes sugar in the mayo too and we often do that. Thanks so much to you and your wife for watching and supporting the channel. I hope all is well. - Joey

      @@PlantBasedDads I understand the dislike for the sulfa taste, but if you are very judicious about the amount you use, you only get the "egg" taste.

You guys inspire more people than you will ever realize.

    One tip. The part that is missing in all vegan mayo is the egg smell-taste, so instead of regular salt use Black salt, you know, the one from India that we use for the tofu scramble and that really change the flavor.

    • @PlantBasedDads

    I pulse chop the chickpeas, onions, celery, parsley FIRST, then put that into a bowl. THEN I make the dressing and add it into the already chopped up chickpea ingredients. That way your chickpeas are as fine or as chunky as you want them without being mushy.

    Thank you so much for the Mori-Nu clue! After 8 years of being plant based I finally tried a recipe for Chickpea (tuna-ish) sandwich and really liked it but used veganaisse which I'd prefer not to do. Today I made it again with the Mori-Nu Mayo recipe and was so pleased to have an oil free option that tastes every bit as good. In fact I think I like this Chickpea sandwich even better than I liked tuna in my past life. I've been enjoying your channel. It's nice to feel a connection to other plant based people in the world ... even if it's only on tv. Your approach is fun and relatable. Keep up the good work. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets inspired by your success and struggles.

      Hi Kathie. Thanks so much. I made that same mayo with the other tofu like three times. Each time it was horrible. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. So when I saw the correct tofu in the aisle with the correct package size, I knew it had to taste different. I gave up chickpea salad because mayo was so high in fat. Now, I am loving it all over again. Like you, I used to love tuna salad, especially on a NY bagel, which is where i grew up. Now, I feel like I have that back again and it's so satisfying.

    Lol at first I was like, "we use refrigerated tofu and our mayonnaise is great!" And then I realized you were using the same tofu we use! For some reason our supermarket refrigerates the silken tofu. We just use one block of silken tofu, add salt, vinegar, and some nooch and voila! We use it as mayo and sour cream and salad dressing. Sometimes I add herbs and spices to it to make ranch dressing. Sometimes I add a bit of agave to it to make it resemble English salad cream (my husband is English and it's the only dressing he likes). I've made mayo using normal tofu and cashews and we hated it. This one is definitely our favorite. 😄

Once upon a time, I took a vegan cooking class in person and the instructor advised to always steam raw tofu before making it into a dressing. She advised this method to avoid digestion issues but I think it makes it taste better. I put a 16 oz block of tofu in a pan with a shallow amount of water and simmered it covered for 15 minutes. The vegan Mayo came out tasting great. I will try the brand you mentioned as well without steaming it.

    Hi Joey, I’ve never made that particular chick pea salad recipe. However, I make the one from the FOK’s cookbook, it calls for tahini to be used (I guess in place of the tofu mayo)?! Obviously, there’s fat in the tahini but I use only half of what the recipe calls for so I only have half of the fat content. And man, I have to say it is really freaking delicious!! Definitely not something I eat every day but I have it at least once a week! 🌱👍🏻❤️

    Mori-nu is great stuff. You just have to know how to use it. Thanks for the oil-free version. I've been trying to cut it oils since it flares up my fibromyalgia, but mayonnaise was a tricky one to find a good oil-free recipe for. Can you freeze this? I use mayonnaise as a sandwich spread, more than making a "salad" with it, so it would take me a long time to go through that amount.

      Jules, So if you use the box tofu for mayo, keep in mind that the different ones have different textures. The orange box we used all last week and for the video gave us a nice, firm mayo, just like a jar of Hellmans. But, we just made it now with the green box, because that one is organic, and it turned out much thinner. Thanks so much for watching .
