Your reaction to the shallow fried was golden! Shallow frying is usually my method of choice just to reduce the oil use and mess. That marinade is TOP TIER btw, I was so impressed with the grilled fillets and will definitely be making it regularly!
It’s hilarious to see the oven version come out exactly how my parents used to bake their “fried chicken.” I’ll probably do the oven style just for nostalgia
My mother-in-law used to skin the chicken, then smear mayo all over it, then dip in seasoned breadcrumbs and bake it. It sounds awful, but it was really quite good, before I became plant based of course.
The best tofu I’ve had is deep fried thin tofu using Cajun fish fry flour mix. As a non-vegan that does a lot of vegan cooking for my vegan family I couldn’t tell the difference
I like your bouncing approval of the shallow fried version. I am relatively new to tofu. I used to hate it, but recently discovered that I like the firm variety very much. The only thing I have to watch is the sodium content. I've seen some other recipes featuring marinades, but they seem to be on the salty side. I can easily control the sodium level with this seasoned shallow fried recipe. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for showing how viable shallow frying can be! It very much reminds me of how my mom used to make chicken cutlets, but veganized, and frankly faster and cheaper. I think I'll be shallow frying some tofu this weekend.
Thank you for taking one for the team! I'm so grateful that you already went down the "how to reduce oil usage, and mess" road for us all. My instincts all agreed with what your results ended up. I'm in! Can't wait to replicate.
I stumbled on your channel after seeing one of your Shorts. I'm no vegetarian or vegan myself, but I love seeing how people come up with good (and tasty) alternatives. Consider me a new subscriber ^^
Yeah the shallow fry is exactly how moms make Schnitzel in my home country and it's something every kid grows up on. They actually still use less oil than you, Americans sure love their oil 😅
That is crazy how realistic it looks. I’ve tried his nugget recipe and it was fire but lacking chicken flavour. Will def try this and I’ll edit this and say how it is (not that I doubt you dude)
I like tofu when it’s seasoned, really good, shredded, tofu scrambled, etc. but just to eat tofu by itself I’m not a fan of the soy taste, but cooking it this way by making the cutlets first and then deep frying. Looks like something I’m going to love. thank you for the recipe. I’m gonna have to try this.
One thing that might help your panko air fried tofu is pre-toasting the panko. I do this by mixing a little oil into the panko in a bowl and microwaving it for 5-15 second bursts, stirring between each burst until it is light golden brown. Careful not to go too far with this step though or else it’ll burn in the air fryer.
For all who don't want MSG, FakeMeats seasoning has "yeast extract" which is another way to say MSG. Having said that, I *completely* appreciate Thee Burger Dude for his happy, warm demeanor and excellent recipes. Thanks Dude!
omg I'm new to this channel and I just saw your face for the first time you look EXACTLY like what I imagined a vegan binging with Babish would look like
Really great, informative, instructions. Having all the kinks worked out as tips & tricks was educational too. I'm not vegan but 'am tryin' to teach myself so I may switch. Also, learning so I can chef for vegans! Here in Austin, there're many. Haha. TY! ❤
Can you please do some experiments with making soy and gluten free chicken and beef, ideally with pea protein? They have stopped stocking so many of the soy free options here in Australia and I'd be really interested in recreating it for my friend who has a soy allergy 😊
I usually make and shallow fry seitan for cutlets, but that can get pretty time consuming. I've never thought of trying it with just tofu. Great video!
Such things look so good but I’m always so skeptical because it’s usually so dry, since it uses firm pressed tofu.. these look flavourful and probably not as dry as the ones I’ve had! On the side note, there is a favourite fried tofu I like from this chicken rice shop that has a fried silken tofu, and that’s my favourite. It’ll be nice to see that used too… :0
I'm not vegan myself but I've always had an interest in plant bast food. The main thing I wonder is how much is there a cost difference of? I eat a lot of chicken amd having something with a good amount of protein and fiber while being cheaper than meat would be nice.
you can definitely be vegan for cheap. tofu is pretty cheap, like 2-3 dollars for a block (where i live), and that has a good amount of protein. fibers also easy and cheap as well, most fruits and veggies will offer lots of that. then with cheaper foods like nuts, seeds, oats, will supply you with lots of protein and fiber.
I ain't even vegan, but you make tofu look pretty damn good, plus I'm a sucker for that crunch and it looks likw you know quite a bit about that as well. Might just have to try shallow frying, too, as this is the first time I've even heard of it.
New subbie! I like this channel direction I just wish you would experiment with using jackfruit and chickpeas sometimes too vs mainly soy meat and tofu....

How do I find your Italian beef recipe? Could you hook me up with a link so I need to scour the Earth on your channel (which i kinda already do though :D )
I don't understand people don't want to use a lot of oil in deep fry but shallow frying Foods hold more oil is better to deep fry because your food don't hold the oil shallow fry Foods soak up the oil leaving it more oily
Once again you’ve outdone yourself. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great job very informative…. For those of you watching this video my prayer is that you ALL come to know JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH as your LORD AND SAVIOR. ROMANS 10:9 say that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that GOD raised JESUS from the dead we will be saved.
I highly approve of this systematic tofu testing

you should try deep fried at least once just to experience it. just to know what you've been missing out on.
My mother-in-law used to skin the chicken, then smear mayo all over it, then dip in seasoned breadcrumbs and bake it. It sounds awful, but it was really quite good, before I became plant based of course.
The best tofu I’ve had is deep fried thin tofu using Cajun fish fry flour mix. As a non-vegan that does a lot of vegan cooking for my vegan family I couldn’t tell the difference
I add some oil to the wet mixture instead of spraying it on. Air frying will sweat it out and crisp it up.

When I make falafel I make them as flat patties instead of round balls so that I can get away with shallow frying them to use less oil!
I do the same thing.

Your happy response after eating the shallow fry was worth the watch. My mom only shallow fried so that's the only thing I do as well

Sincerely thank you so much for your videos. They bring me so much joy so please don't stop 🤣
Vegan cookery is very creative and makes interesting use of seasonings and spices.
The Super Mario laugh after trying the shallow frying made me laugh out loud! Thanks for doing all these tests and finding a happy medium! -Cody
I’ve re watched that too many times

When I use panko to airfry, I mix it with some oil first, so it's more evenly coated
Really in depth, I'll stick to deep fry + shallow pan frying. 😊 Great video as always
omg I'm new to this channel and I just saw your face for the first time you look EXACTLY like what I imagined a vegan binging with Babish would look like
Vegetarian date coming over tomorrow. Let’s see how this goes😵💫
Ooh, can't wait to make these!! Maybe tomorrow's lunch!! Yum!! Deep fried!
I went to Taco Bell yesterday and they had nacho fries with VEGAN nacho cheese!
I do the corn starch way in a pan. lol not in all that oil tho just a little so they dont stick

I use coconut milk/cream as the liquid medium to make southern fried tofu.😊
I usually make and shallow fry seitan for cutlets, but that can get pretty time consuming. I've never thought of trying it with just tofu. Great video!
This is awesome! I *hate* crunky chick'n so now I know I to dredge first to reduce the crunch! As always, loved it and enjoyed learning something new!
Tofu is amazing if cooked the right way......there is nothing in the world like it.
Looks good - Looking forward to trying out the shallow frying method...
Really nice video I'll definitely use it to fry tofu other ways and see how it tastes, usually I do it one way
Plant Basics must be getting more popular, Even Saucestache uses their products.
These look amazing!
Yummy
This channel is so DOPE !
I LIKE YOUR VIDEO👍👍👍 AND RECIPE 👍👍👍 BECAUSE I AM Vegetarian and Pescatarian Meatless , THANK YOU BROTHER

I just had a thought… @theeburgerdude can you fry soy curls?
Pro tip: mix some oil into the panko before airfrying it.
Yum!

Soy and tofu is so not good for you. It's tough finding vegans that don't use products without tofu and soy.
@@FloydWhoElseTV True... it's what people understand as vegan and plant base...
