How do you drain your tofu? With a tofu press, something heavy on top, or another method? 🤓
Hai sadia
A heavy pot on top
I like put it in a cheese cloth and put a heavy pan on top of that.
Tofu press but sadia is here to teach some new techniques 😊💗💗
I don't get tofu in my city it is very rare and expensive but would love to try it sometime also I love you, you are my inspiration.
Omg I have lived a better life ever since I started watching you
sameeee
Yes! I completely agree.
Same
Awww!🥰🥰🥰
same here! shes really good👌she inspires me so much and I cook so much healthier now. thank you
I am by no means a vegan or vegetarian, but you sure as hell make me break away from my usual go-to meals. Thanks for the inspiration! -Fellow cooking enthusiast
Same here! I'm not a vegan. But I love Sadia's videos and the food looks Amazing!!!!
That’s so cool, I love that you’re open minded ❤️
@@nicoleancker9130 Totally agree!!
@@fee6145 Gotta be! It's always such a breath of fresh air to eat vegan for a day or two.
Same here. I am not a vegan, but this channel makes me wanna become one ...lol!
I'm Chinese and grew up eating tofu all the time! if you can get fresh fresh tofu (aka not in the plastic sealed boxes but from a store who made it the same day, usually in big plastic tubs), then a favorite way to eat it is just cut into bite sized pieces on a plate, with a pool of soy sauce, green onions, and sesame oil on top. super refreshing and great way to enjoy high quality tofu
Sounds so good :) Thank you!
Thank you for that. Do you happen to know where to find stores that have fresh tofu?
The thing I love about your channel is the vibe it gives off.The relaxed,calm and soothing vibe.Its something that pulls me to every video of yours.Your videos on mindfulness and minimalism are so good and make so much sense.Your recipes too- you take international recipes and give us easy and sometimes easily replaceable ingredients options.The suggestions you give are so easy to follow too,cause there's a reason stated with it.And not a single video which doesn't have a purpose or content.Been a follower for more than a year now and i am so hooked.Lots of love from India!!
I agree 💯%!!! I was thinking. Yes! A video from Sadia something Positive and relaxing!!!
Yes again from India all u said is too gud
exactly ^ it’s so soothing and beautifully created. 🌿
I love the fact her recipes are nice wholesome delicious and ‘normal’ vegan cooking - not faddish - and my whole family can enjoy.
I totally agree
I love tofu 😍 people who don’t like the taste don’t know how to prep it right. It’s so versatile!
Texture.
@@Scottlp2 there are many different types of tofu with different textures. Don't beat it til you try them all.
My husband was reluctant for years but then I made crispy tofu stir fry one night and he was sold. I make many different ways now and always enjoys it.
@Laura G. Many people hate many things. Like we love eating "exotic food" here in asia that you guys may find odd and gross. But to be honest it just depends on how you cook and prepare the ingredients. People who say they hate liver might not have found the recipe that suits their palette best, same to tofu 😞
I sometimes have it just as it is, without any seasoning 🤣 I think the problem is that people always want to make it taste like meat/chicken... and eventually they will be disappointed because the only way to fully achieve it is by using a lot of chemicals - the opposite of healthy.
If people would try to embrace the taste of tofu they could see its actual beauty. Just like we always try to change everything, the environment and ourselves. If we could learn to embrace the things as they are we all might be happier.
That said, I also love Tofu dishes with a bit of seasoning. My all-time favourite is mapo tofu without meat, just very spicy sauce; or hiyayakko or agedashi tofu with plant-based dashi. There’s no need to cover the taste of tofu when it’s so beautiful
The recipe that converted me to tofu was doing it like a fish fillet. I marinate it the day before on lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, a sprinkle of salt and white pepper/hot sauce and then I roll them on bread crumbs (I should try the corn starch to make it crispier!) and fry it or put it on the airfryer (or the oven). I started doing it more than one year after becoming vegetarian and it was really nice to be able to make something vegan that reminded me of fish fillets. When my family eats them, I make my own out of tofu and they've all tasted and approved it as well, it started to be a regular at my parent's house
Ana Rita Martins that sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing!
I'll have to try that with vegan fish sauce. thank you
I'll try your tofu-fillet for sure! 😉
Great recipes!
Tip: alternately, if you're going to be slicing the tofu anyway, slice it and THEN remove the water. Place the slices between 2 layers of kitchen (or paper) towels with a heavy, wooden cutting board in top. Water removal only takes about 5 minutes.
I SO appreciate the time stamps in the description, thank you! Love this channel.
I usually press tofu with a cast iron skillet and a towel, and my current favorite coating is cornmeal, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper (has kind of a fried-chicken vibe that I like). --These recipes look amazing! I'm looking forward to trying the buffalo recipe!
Oooh a cast-iron pan would work better than what I was trying in the video 😂 thanks for sharing, Jenna!
@@PickUpLimes Where are your ideas?
This is what I do! Clean kitchen towel and cast iron gives me the best results every time.
I lay mine between 2 folded dish towels then set a cutting board on top, then place a water filled tea kettle on top of that.
Cast iron skillet is by far the best way
Hey Sadia. I know you might not remember me but i asked you to help me because my parents won't lemme go vegan. And u asked me to read 'Becoming Vegan'& yes i am reading it.. Thanx.. How can i not listen you.. You are my inspiration . Keep up the goooooood work.❤bloopers😍...
Aw lovely to hear, Saamya, I hope you enjoy the book 🤗
That's amazing :)
Where can I get that book? I've been really considering becoming vegan
Is it available on audible? Who’s the author?
Such a sweet outreach! Now I want to read the 📚 book
I've only tried your curries, and they did not disappoint... I'm definitively trying this one next.
The recipes you come up with many times inspired from different cultures but you never miss to take them to next level! That dressing! Yumm!😋
Sadia makes my mindspace better.. I literally binge watch her videos on TV.. her videos are dope.. and I always comment first before watching her videos because I sooo know they are going to be awesome❤️.
Love you Sadie
You inspired me to go vegan
And now I am loving it

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you Thank you Thankyou
I just found your channel and have literally been watching all your videos nonstop for the last few hours 😊 My twins that are 16 years old came in my room
before and told me to come and cook as usual, turns out they love you just as much as I do after eating the falafel dish I got from you !!🤣 I’m beyond thrilled now that I have a whole lot of new recipes to cook for my family. I can’t wait for the kids to go back to school so I can share your channel with all the other Moms at their school. You have such a sweet, lovely
personality. 💕💕🌸🌸💕💕🌸
Just so appreciate these recipes! My mouth was watering the entire time I was watching. I’ve used so many of your suggestions and they are always spot on. You and Robin are lovely together.💕
*Okay you read my mind! I was just thinking about acquiring some Tofu recipes! Thanks Sadia!* ☀️
Same!!! like the second i thought it this popped up in my feed. I was like whuuuuu. Lol
Ok I just need to point out how genius it is to write comments in bold so they’re seen more!
LOA😍🍀💚
You’ve been such an inspiration! I was researching meals and options to start at least a vegetarian lifestyle for my health and the health of the planet. I stumbled upon your Channel and it’s been a compass on my journey. I started with one plant based meal a week and now I’m almost completely plant based!! I really love how you present your channel and recipes, it’s obvious that you just want to put wholesome, nourishing, nutritious food out in the world. Keep the content coming!!! 🥬🥥🥕
Finally most awaited one in my youtube subscriptions is here 😍.I love watching your videos. They not only about all new things but also very relaxing and stress free videos. I am trying to incorporate few changes since I started watching the videos. These are very useful. Thank you so much
Wooaahh i was waiting for some recipies like this and you post them 😍
Ugh I love this channel it brings me so much peace
I cannot thank this channel enough. There's a huge difference in my life I cannot even emphasize enough.
Also my heart becomes 💖💖💖💖 whenever u feature Robin
as a diehard tofu fanatic, very excited for this video! just know you’re gonna nail every recipe 💕
To the pickuplimes family .......Love the classic flashback mode for previous videos 😍😍
I mean I think it’s cute but I love how crisp, clean and bright this channel is.
We love your kitchen pickuplimes and obviously the presentation of food which you described in one of previous videos😍😍😇😇😇😇😇
Love these recipes. Definitely will try the skewers tonight!! Also, thanks for brightening up my day Sadia! So much positivity in a 14 minute video!
this video quality is phenomenal sadia!
She has such an "everything's gonna be fine" kinda voice
Love your recipes ❣
I cant wait till you print a cookbook, would love to have one in my kitchen ,, Love your recipes
Thank you Sadia!
This was so so good ❤️😍 thank you so much Sadia !!
I like to make maple-miso sticky tofu at home 😋
The ingredients are a tsp of brown miso paste, 2 tbsp of tamari, 2 tbsp of maple syrup, a squeeze of lemon juice,a tsp of corn starch, a tsp of sriracha, a clove of garlic and a little bit of ginger
And Tofu of course
Enjoy!
one of my favorite ways to do tofu
This sounds incredible!
Ooo this sounds incredible
will definitely be trying that last one - looks so delicious!
These look amazing and I can’t wait to try them! Thanks for being so generous with your recipes and knowledge. 🙏🏽
Always enjoy watching your videos, so many great ideas and so calming to watch!
This channel literally cured my depression. You are a treasure, thank you so much for these amazing videos and healthy vegan recipes.
🌿
I just made the spicy garlic tofu, and it is absolutely AMAZING!!
Definitely will be trying these recipes keep up the great work!
Love theses! I have such a texture problem and hated tofu for the longest time. Videos like these have helped me cook it in a way that I really like. More videos on how to make foods for people who hate mushy textures would be awesome!!
You inspire me to be vegan
Zara Hassan she’s the reason why I went vegan 8 months ago. It wasn’t preaching or pressuring that I saw the benefits of being vegan, but rather seeing all the yummy recopies I could make. I don’t even miss any animal products with recipes like these!! (Last week I made the Pad-Thai meal prep and it was one of my favs!)
Alyse Martin WOW.. that’s great
I could honestly eat tofu plain, but learning more ways to enjoy it is exactly what I love :D Especially form such an AWESOME recipe developer!
The video was as always beautifully crafted and each recipe just packed with flavour!
.
Sending you all the love!
Stay safe and have a great week ahead!
Same!
you’re the absolute best! sweetest human being🥰
I love this video so much! I'm going to need a pt. 2 because this is amazing!
You inspired me to start eating healthy. Thank you so much. I've 30pounds exercising and eating healthy food. Your receipes have been helpful. I'm document my journey here on UA-cam
That is so amazing & inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with the community
You’re so pretty
That’s amazing!!💚💚💚
how to get rid of as much liquid out of the tofu as possible: freeze the tofu, let thaw overnight. You'll get rid of much more liquid than by just squeezing
Thank you for sharing these recipes!! I look forward to making these soon. 😄
I'm drooling over your kitchen and all the stoneware/pottery - such a grounded earthy relaxed vibe - LOVE it
Hack: instead of getting extra firm tofu that still often needs pressing for some recipes, buy Chinese tofu labelled "hard", very little water content and usually a cheaper alternative (also because you aren't paying for water you're gonna squeeze out). Usually you can get it from Asian grocers :)
btw LOVED these recipes, can't wait to try them!
Chinese-Canadian here - "hard' tofu and extra firm tofu basically are the same thing - just different ways to translate the word. There are places now you can buy extra firm tofu with vacuum packing. There would still be water but not as much. One of the places you can buy them in Canada is Loblaws.
@@angechrissy while that may be true for canada, where I live the chinese tofu is usually labelled hard and is generally a lot firmer than the extra-firm labelled ones. But thanks for clarifying!
I like my tofu from non GMO plants so usually buy organic which, unfortunately, I have never seen in an asian shops.
Mapo tofu is my favorite way to make tofu! it takes less than 15 minutes and its so comforting
do you have a good recipe? i didnt really find one yet :/
@@michelleneubauer5099 yes! i have a vegan mapo tofu recipe on my channel. feel free to check it out :)
Sadia I’ve been missing seeing your videos pop up in my subscriptions! Thanks for all you both do on this channel 💕 I love all the recipes and because of your plant propagation video I now have some new baby plants to beautify our home.
I cannot wait to try these! I just finished up my batch of your Korean inspired jar and the tofu in that was amazing. It was so hard to stop myself from eating it before mixing it with the other ingredients.
Now I just have to figure out which to try first!
Probably the best way to finish my day and imagining to start my day tomorrow by making one of these😍😍😍❤️ you are amazing, and i love love love pick up limes. Sending loads of positivityy 💕
The last recipe is so fast, love it! I do something similar with Agave, Gochujang or Sriracha, Miso paste and tamarind paste. I also use tofu as a chicken replacement in a pasta pollo limone recipe. I just marinate the tofu with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. and fry. Super delicious! Combine with stir fried mushrooms, your favorite pasta and more of the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt & black pepper. Top with a little violife Parmesan or nutritional yeast. 😋👌🏼
watching your channel warms my heart
I love every video of yours that I’ve watched! Definitely going to give these a try, especially when I can start entertaining guests!
I hope you see this, just wanted to say i love your comforting oatmeal recipe and have been making it for 2 weeks straight❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you're enjoying it Jade 😊 thanks so much for sharing!
Hello SADIA again! I had a flavorsome night because of you.I’m thankful to you for this incredible video. Catch ya!!
Everything looked so delicious! Thank you Sadia, for always inspiring your viewers ❤️
Love all your videos. Your voice just soothes my soul🙂
I love you soo much Sadia...it's a delight to listen to you- much love and appreciation from India
I’ve never tried tofu before & haven’t wanted to, but these recipes just might have changed my mind! Looks yummy!❤️
its ok
Honestly they soak up whatever flavour you add!! Haha very easy food to cook with!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes!! And I adore the bloopers at the end!!
Made the skewers, tzatziki sauce and buffalo strips tacos last New Year's Eve. Amazing! Thank you for all the effort you put to make our lives easier! ❤️
I just bought tofu to start getting more plant based, this is perfect timing
It's beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. It means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
OMGosh!!! Drooling...thank you. I will be making each of these recipes!!
Loved this, can’t wait to try these recipes!
I'm Asian so I loooove tofu, even better when it's featured in a PUL video! 😍 Far from a 'meat substitute', tofu is a core ingredient in its own right in many Asian cuisines. There's a bit of a misconception that tofu is 'bland', but good tofu has its own mild flavour that is tasty on its own :) For example, hiyayakko, a Japanese dish of chilled silken tofu that really celebrates the simplicity of this ingredients. I love seeing these kind of recipes though, because tofu is such a versatile ingredient so it's cool to see how people innovate with it! 😃
I freeze and defreeze the tofu to get rid of most of its liquids. Then I marinate it in soy sauce with garlic, silan and ginger, and bake it. It's delicious.
That sounds great! What’s silan? I’ve never heard of it.
Do you cut it or put the whole tofu ??
@@rosered6143 Date honey. You can use maple syrup or honey instead.
@@kalam6748 I freeze the whole tofu, and after I defrost and sqeeze it, I cut it to cubes before I marinate and bake it.
Estee Horn thanks ! Will try
These are some of the best recipes I have seen in a while
Thankyou . I needed these recipes
These videos are making me wanting to cook healthy so much and etc. But CAN WE PLEASE ADMIRE THIS BEUTIFUL KITCHEN FOR A MOMENT OK?!
Green kitchen is the best... I wish to have more green kitchen then u sadia mam
That RED hot sauce in her pristine WHITE pan on the stove was giving me lo-key anxiety LOL
Luv your tone n tune. Quite motivating ❤️
Lovely ! Thank you for these recipes !
"How's my hair?" - "brown" 😂😂😂😂😂 Only men say that
Women do their hair and wear the clothes they wear.. for other women, not really for men. Lol
Crystalline Entity sooo true hahah. Other women complimenting me is so much better than men
I thought I heard wrong for a moment......hahaha.....typical male answer 🙄
definitely a guy answer lmao!!
seems like I give guy answers... I would say that
Pick up limes is the only channel where you like the video before watching
Love seeing you cook all the time!!!
Epic recipes for sure!! I’m always looking for new tofu recipes!! Thank you!!!
The Spicy Garlic Tofu looks so delicious! Making that for dinner tonight 😋😊😍😁
Me to!!! Garlic anything :) yes please!
Those look so delicious, thank you!!!!! I especially want to make the sticky garlic dish, yuuuuuuuum!!!!!!!! I use a tofu press, it's pretty inexpensive, I don't know if it's really needed at this point in time with all the different tofus that are firm, extra firm, I use it anyway. I love the idea of freezing tofu, letting it defrost and then tofu pressing it, it leaves holes that supposedly make it so that making fried "chicken" etc. tastes amazing, I have some in our freezer as we speak and I want to give it a go, great idea, right?!!!!! We will see!!!! I love the ideas that you showed us today, thank you again!!!! Stay Safe everyone 😷. 😷. 😷. 😷. 💝Kathy
As much as I absolutely love your recipe videos, I really miss watching your Tea time Tuesdays. I hope you find the inspiration to make one of those shortly :)
I genuinely find comfort in watching your videos, and it's kinda made quarantine more bearable.
So thank you and I absolutely love you Sadia❤
Love this channel. I can't be restrictive in my diet but I take an approach of adding these recipies in my rotation and enjoyed every new ingredient and recipe I've tried. Thanks for making cooking so exciting, I love that I am opting for more quality in my diet.
It's 10.45 pm here.
I love your videos.
You are like my sweet mom.
Love you.💖💖🇮🇳🇮🇳
Hey I want to tell you that how much I love your videos - the way you present them - the way you talk, your way of shooting and everything. The other night I was so hooked to your videos and loved watching them - also your content improvement has been really impressive over the years. You really inspire me to be just better in everything I do with smile. I just can’t thank you enough for your amazing content
I appreciate this so so much, so thee thanks is to you 🙏🥰
You are one kind soul ❤️
Thanks for those recipes ❤ I’ll definitely do it 👍🏼
Your recipes are truly the most creative 😍
Never clicked so fast
Me to!! :)
Haha
Sadia, it’s always a pleasure watching your videos. Have you ever frozen, then defrosted, extra firm tofu before draining and cooking with it? I find it gives the tofu an even chewier texture. (I hate mushy, pudding-like tofu).
Can I use vegan sour cream instead of yogurt in the tzatziki?
All three dishes look wonderful. I would just tone down the “heat” on them.
Your videos make me immensely happy. Can't wait to try these
Love your ideas so much!!!! Thank you 😊
Can I ask you what brand tofu you buy? I'm based in The Netherlands as well but never see "extra firm" tofu, just normal or silken!
I don't know if you're aware of that Sadia (personnally I discovered it thanks to one of my subscribers), but UA-cam now inserts ads inside all videos (mid roll), without you choosing this option (and even if you decide not to monetize your video).
Maybe you chosed it yourself and I totally respect that, but if it's not the case, don't hesitate to check out your monetization settings.
And thanks a lot for this new video ! ;-)
Wait does this mean some of the ads wont actually give her money?
Brave Browser blocks all ads including UA-cam's
I think she deserves all the monetization we can support her with💚 I’m glad to watch 15 seconds of ads for her
I didn’t see any ad? But I pay for UA-cam so guessing it’s only on non paying watchers?
been watching for years- very useful, innovative, great video. so cool!
Just this morning I searched your channel looking for tofu recipes and now you posted this! Thank you so much, I will definitely try out one of these tomorrow!!
What kinds of pans are these.
I'm not vegan and I've never cooked with tofu before, but I'm trying to branch out and explore plant-based protein options. I decided to give the spicy garlic tofu a try. It is so delicious! Not like good-for-healthy-food delicious, like restaurant delicious. (Though next time I'll use a nonstick pan to brown the tofu, lol.) I served it as a stir-fry with rice. I sautéed red onion, bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and coleslaw mix with another dose of the same sauce as the tofu. Seriously really good! Thanks, Sadia!
Hey Sadia, I have been following your recipes since over a year now..starting with the overnight oats, smoothies, pastas, salad, noodles, nourish bowls, mug cakes to desserts.. love them all!! The spicy garlic tofu has been one of my favourite so far.. it’s actually the first time I ever tasted tofu and loved it! Thank you 😊
Love that video. Perfect for a slow sunday when looking for the dishes of the week.
