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
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)
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.
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!
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.
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 : )
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. :)
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.
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 !
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!!!!!
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.
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! :)
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!
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! 🥰
Bought tofu so I can cut down on how much meat I eat…cooking and trying it for the first time. I’ll come back with an update 😂 UPDATE : it’s actually decent!! I sautéed some onions and bell peppers, added the tofu with a mixture sauce of honey garlic, zesty Italian and hot sauce + seasonings. Then I added some pasta and let it simmer. To be honest the tofu kinda tastes like nothing so Ill marinate it next time. I never realize just how versatile tofu can be, I’m glad I finally decided to Try it :) thanks!
You don’t even need to cook tofu I simmer soy sauce ,red onions, 1-2tsp of sugar depending how sweet I want my oil sauce in a pan I use sesame oil little bits and veggie oil then simmer that until I get my garlic and onions brown not dark but brown. And then I put on my dried cold tofu it’s if I have like 5-10 min too cook something quick and chop green onions to place on top add rice under neath too mix it together I also add Siraci sauce
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.
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.
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 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.
You forgot to mention that not only does drying the tofu out make it cook better, it makes it so that it will soak up all that yummy marinade better. look at it like a sponge if you take a wet sponge and put it in a bowl of water it will not absorb the water. put a dry sponge in that water and it will soak it right up. the dryer the tofu the better the absorption. and the better the texture too
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 UA-cam.
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!
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!
I just made tofu for the first time following your instructions. I had the tofu marinate overnight and it came out really good. Thank you for the instructional video.
This was my first time making tofu and it was super easy and delicious. I didn’t have all the ingredients so I improvised and it was still good. Thanks!!!! 👩🏽🍳😊
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 😊 ❤️
I'm not vegan (but I would like to be someday) but I LOVE tofu. I usually cut the tofu into logs, fry them, and then plop them in a baggy with Mr. Yoshida's Teriyaki sauce to make them flavorful, and while it probably isn't the best method it's still very flavorful and so delicious. From there I can put them in veggie wraps or sushi burritos. I'm definitely going to try a couple of these other methods out, thanks so much
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!
It's all about the seasoning & dipping sauce got a few tofu bricks thrown to me looking forward to experimenting great tip also with the thin cuts crispy game changer ❤
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
Finally a how to video on UA-cam that gets straight to the point with no waffle and clear instructions. Well done and thanks!
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.
That’s not the problem. The problem is youtube forcing people to make ten minute videos in order to make more money.
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.
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.
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.
My goodness! You fit so much into less than 5 minutes! This was a wonderful video!
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.
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!
"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?
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 !
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!!!!!
love how u talk 😭 most tutorials make me feel dumb but this was v much from one smart friend to another 👌🏿
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?
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.

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 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
Awesome video! Short and straight to the point, unlike others.

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? 🤣
This was perfect having it for Thanksgiving this year in place of turkey. Thank You
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.
Beautiful recipes! Very well presented! This whets your appetite

Hands down the best "what to do with tofu" video out there!!!!!
Love this video... I never knew how to do to tofu I just made this and it turned out excellent
I lived overseas where I couldn't find tofu. it's been 8 months without and my mouth is watering so much I cannot watch anymore hahah
You can make it yourself. It’s super easy. Please check out Mary’s test kitchen 🙂 goodluck
This page is so beautifully curated.
I just become vegetarian and this is the first recipe I’m watching so you give me a lot of ideas
Just an advice concerning the sauce: don’t put sesame oil in it because once it’s in the pan, it burns.
Thanks for the video! Made the sautee version since I find that easiest and turned out quite tasty. Simple to make, and I had all ingredients at home.
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!
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.
Sautéed and salted is my favourite.
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!

Hello from the state of Washington good video God bless!!!:)))
This was my first time making tofu and it was super easy and delicious. I didn’t have all the ingredients so I improvised and it was still good. Thanks!!!! 👩🏽🍳😊
2:06 sauté is already in it's preterit form xD
Legit, the single most-informative tofu video i’ve seen. Awesome!!
I would love to try this. I've cooked tofu and I just didn't like the texture. Maybe marinated it
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!
You deserve more subs!!!
Pinch of yum I enjoyed your video and great job with the tofu. Please have a blessed day.
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!
Thank you! Having tofu today for the first time and I'm excited to try it out
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 😖😭💕
One of the best videos for tofu beginners, like me. Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks!
I just made some tofu with noodles and sautéed veggies using my own version of the sauce and omg it was amazing
I never had tofu. I always see it at the grocery store. Nice though.
Did the sauteed version on my Blackstone griddle...came out amazing! Excellent tutorial!👍🏻
I always vocal fry my tofu
Too funny! Her vocal fry was turned up to 11
Great presentation and Thanks for sharing such delicious recipes. I will definitely add these to my culinary menu. 💗👍
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
Nice video: simple, clear & helpful
Damn now I'm starving lol
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 😊 ❤️
Thanks for this!
A great primer on how to cook tofu. You make it look easy enough that I want to give it a try.
“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.
🥲😂

What’s the recipe for the noodle bowl and the lettuce wraps?
Yaritza Rodriguez on the internet
@@inkkladar what a helpful comment lmao..
I did this for the first time today. It came out just perfect, and it was vey delicious. I used the skillet sautée option.
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.
I'm glad I found your channel. Direct, and informative. Thanks,
When you search for Tofuu and you get this... 😅
SMe
Lmao
Well, this video is why I'm here.
Awesome rundown for all cooking options. Can we get the ratios to the sauce recipe?
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
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!
2:07
Sautéed Tofu
It's all about the seasoning & dipping sauce got a few tofu bricks thrown to me looking forward to experimenting great tip also with the thin cuts crispy game changer ❤
always wanted to try tofu, now i finally bought some and cant wait to try these methods
Just go with the paneer recipe💁🏻♂️ instead of putting paneer just put tofu in it. Try it & lemme know.
The scramble looks the best
I cooked them so wrong lol it was so plain and dry even when I seasoned it
Add more oil :)
The marinade looks great! What are the ratio's for each ingredient though? Thank you.
I think I burnt mine each way 🤔
ink it up! 😂😂
Tofu is GREAT, and tasty. I love tofu!!
so the trick to cook good tofu is to try as hard as possible to make it not taste like tofu?
I mean even a plain skinless, boneless chicken breast isnt very good without a healthy amount of seasonings
Thank you! I was having trouble getting my tofu browned and crunchy when I saute it. I think I need to press it better 👍
Why does tofu has to be rectangle u heretic, why cant i make it in to a ball or pyramid?
Teddy Bear she cut it into triangles as well
I mean I know you're joking but the answer is that it would waste a bunch of tofu to do other shapes
@@ZPM7 not necessarily, you could scramble the scraps like the last recipe in the video:)
Do it
cus we dont cut corners
