Hi Flo, I use my air fryer with a tiny bit of oil to fry all of my tofu. Then I toss it into whatever sauce the family likes that day. It's simplified my life so much.
Thank you Flo and Dude.. great dish.. I follow a plant based diet and eat tofu regularly.. I was raised eating tofu.. love it💕I now love in Southern California but was born and raised in Vancouver. Enjoy your channel..
Flo, Love your cooking! In regard to the your oil container, check and see if there is “relief” hole in the stopper that might have plugged. I have a 750ml oil container and found out that if I (accidentally) cover the relief hole the oil stopped pouring.
Thanks for sharing ur recipe! Tried to fry my tofu with an air fryer & it was as soft & crunchy as fried with oil. My friend said he even coated his tofu with a little starch with an air fryer & it made it even crunchier. This air fryer is a game changer! Less oil, no smell, more goodness & more convenience 🙌🏻
Hi Flo! You and dude always crack me up when arguing about the thumb size ginger, I love it! it’s in almost in every ginger related dish video, please don’t stop! It always makes my day when I see ginger in your recipe I know it’s coming, it’s another trademark of yours, please produce a shirt about it and I will purchase it, something like (Flo thumb size ginger 👍🏼 on the front) and (Dudes thumb size ginger 👎🏼on the back) or both on the front or something cleaver, I know you want to😉 Just throwing some ideas there! I am so happy for you both and congratulations on the new cook book! I am looking forward to getting it soon!
Flo, thanks for excellent recipe. To reduce intake of oil , I air fried the tofu instead and it came out really good. Air fry for 5 mins each side. I would love to see some air fry recipes from you! Thanks for all your great recipes, and to Dude too
Thx for tofu recipe! CONGRATULATIONS on your Chinese Homestyle Cookbook!!👏👏 Found it on Amazon🤩 Can't wait to try out recipes for upcoming Chinese New Year🎉
🙋🏽♀️ Flo & Dude! The fam loves tofu ‘cuz it basically takes on whatever flavor it’s being cooked with. Especially love fried tofu. This looks so good! Gonna try it. Oh! I received an email that your “Chinese Home Cooking” book is available on Amazon! Yay! It’s in my cart. Must have! Congratulations on your hard work! God Bless Your Family!
LOL! Tofu should only be used in Asian cooking... in my opinion. Tofu used as a meat substitute to taste like meat has never made sense to me. Like tofu burgers... ick.
I like your UA-cam channel because I can see what things are supposed to look like at each stage of the cooking. (Im a beginner) will the cookbook lose this?
100% agree. I made this dish when my tofu hating friend came to dinner, and he wrinkled his nose and said he'd pass on that dish, thanks. Then his kid decided to try it, and they couldn't stop eating it. My friend, seeing this, decides maybe he's going to take a little bite and see about it. "OH! It tastes like Yorkshire pudding, but with garlic soy sauce gravy!" Make it for your friends who think they hate tofu. I converted at least one skeptic.
I have all the ingredients except I have not been able to find fermented black beans locally. But I do have black bean garlic sauce. I have never tasted fermented black bean. Do you think black bean garlic sauce could be a good substitute for black beans in the recipe?
I think your black bean garlic sauce may be essentially what I made from all the other ingredients. Since you have that, use it along with the onion, tofu and green onion and you’ll be good!
@@FloLum Thank you! That is what I was thinking but didn't know if the beans were fermented differently making a very different flavor or something. I will try it very soon!
I enjoy your channel Flo and Dude. Do you have to rinse the black bean? I am afraid that the flavor would be affected. Can I substitute with those ready fried tofu to skip a few steps 😉?
Hi Flo and Dude, your Black Bean Tofu looks so delicious. I'll definitely be trying to make this dish soon. I noticed that you used the same purple (pasta?) bowl, here, as you did for your Instant Pot Black Bean Chicken dish. Could you please tell me the dimensions of that bowl? I want to get one for when I'm making your Black Bean Chicken dish, knowing it will fit my 8 qt Instant Pot as it does yours. Thanks, in advance! Take care, and stay safe!
In case you missed it at the end, the paperback option for my Chinese Homestyle cookbook is now available! Link in the description. Super delicious and easy to make tofu dish that will make you go back for seconds and thirds. Happy Sunday! 💕
Never had this with tofu but IMO anything with this black bean sauce or similar is extremely dank.....chicken, pork, beef, along with some green pepper.....probably roadkill possum would be good like this.
This looks really good! Not a big fan of tofu, so do you think this would work with chicken or maybe beef? Should I double the sauce? I still have a lot of black beans left over from making your black bean spare rib dish (wonderful) so would like to use them again for something else.
Hey where are the written instructions to make this and the ingredient list, I am having alot of trouble finding it. I want to make this tomorrow, maybe I'm blind and can't see it..lol!
@@FloLum Flo, I have tried all kinds of tofu my sister and niece love it. I don't know ...I am a strange puppy LOL. But you got me eating lemongrass. Yay. One day I will say Flo guess what I tried tofu and now I like it. 💙💃🎊🎉
Hi Flo, I use my air fryer with a tiny bit of oil to fry all of my tofu. Then I toss it into whatever sauce the family likes that day. It's simplified my life so much.
Love it i was thinking the same
Thank you Flo and Dude.. great dish.. I follow a plant based diet and eat tofu regularly.. I was raised eating tofu.. love it💕I now love in Southern California but was born and raised in Vancouver. Enjoy your channel..
I made that, and the vegetable I used was eggplant. It was really good.
Hey Flo! I watch so many of your videos that my 5 year old just said "the mom cooks and the dad eats it" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣

Well you have done it again! What a gorgeous meal. I love the sauce like dude says it’s very versatile
Just made this dish! OH MY GOODNESS! It was so delicious! You’re a great teacher! Thank you, Flo!
Wow this looks so yummy! Thank you for the video Flo!
Thanks Flo and Dude! I made this with chicken and it was sensational! Couldn't believe how tasty it was! Sure beats black bean sauce from a bottle!! 🙏

Hi Flo yr recipes are so good. Yes I want to learn tofu making like yr granny thanks
Your dishes are amazing. Black bean tofu looks absolutely delicious.

Hello there, I love black bean sauce, and tofu, I will be having my husband cook this for us. This looks so delicious. take care my friends
Thanks for another great idea. I think I’ll try the black bean sauce with tofu puffs.
Congrats on the new cookbook!!

I love tofu, will definitely try it, thanks Flo👍
Very nice Flo 👍👍😋😋😋
Where can I get my your latest cookbook . I love your cooking style. Enjoyed it very much .👍🏼👍🏼
Looks delicious I will try it.Thks
Nice & simple vegetarian dish. 豉汁蒜蓉豆腐
Never thought I'd be into tofu . . .but you have got me very interested now lol. Great video 😎😍
LOL! Tofu should only be used in Asian cooking... in my opinion. Tofu used as a meat substitute to taste like meat has never made sense to me. Like tofu burgers... ick.
@@FloLum ha ha so true 🤣🤣

Love tofu done right with a yummy sauce
Yay cookbook is ordered!
Woohoo! Thanks, Tina!
This is awesome! Cooked it up in my Wok, Dee-lish!
can't wait to buy your new cookbook
Dang ur way great, I love ur stuff...thank you so much...
Love this dish....have you try air frying the tofu instead of pan frying them?🧐
Only to make agedashi tofu with a coating. May try the airfryer next time.

@@FloLum Thank you! That is what I was thinking but didn't know if the beans were fermented differently making a very different flavor or something. I will try it very soon!
I'm sure This is cheating, but can I use the Lum Kee garlic black bean sauce? My mouth is watering!😋
Yes... just use your sauce with onion, tofu and green onion. 👍🏼
I don't eat tofu a lot, but I definitely like it (and I'm not a vegetarian or vegan)
i think tofu is more palatable if the pieces are smaller and doused in garlic b4 frying...looks good tho'
I enjoy your channel Flo and Dude. Do you have to rinse the black bean? I am afraid that the flavor would be affected. Can I substitute with those ready fried tofu to skip a few steps 😉?
5:35 Definitely rinse them. Store bought fried tofu is not the same but you can still use them. It may not have the soft texture inside.

"Hey dude, is that a huge onion in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Wish Amazon would show the Table of Contents so that we can see the dishes in the cookbook.
Never had this with tofu but IMO anything with this black bean sauce or similar is extremely dank.....chicken, pork, beef, along with some green pepper.....probably roadkill possum would be good like this.

Yep... check out ua-cam.com/video/9g0UdKyAYNE/v-deo.html
Can you make tofu from scratch like your grandmother? I would love to learn!
May I use black bean sauce, since I don’t have black beans? Thanks.
I sure wish I had a written version of this recipe.
Yummy!!
lovely to see a pure vegetarian black bean recipe, without ubiquitous oyster sauce, the chinese think is vegetarian.
This 'shoushing' sp? wine you use in several recipes...where do I purchase? I live in Ladner and work in Richmond.
Any Asian market will have it. ShaoHsing or ShaoXing rice wine.
@@FloLum Hooray, thanks for the spelling & the info. I work across the Street from the Lansdowne mall T & T in Richmond. Blessings AP
@@FloLum one more question. There seem to be innumerable choices for rice vinegars. Which one or two would be best to have in my pantry?
Could I used black bean paste instead ( I live where there is no Oriental grocers )
Same question. I have Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce.
Where would u find the black beans in the store? Canned goods aisle?
Fermented black beans in the asian isle in a regular market. In an asian market it's usually near the oriental sauce isle.
Yum
Thanks Flo but unfortunately in this small town I can't find a 'medium' firm tofu even I just got a black bean sauce awy thanks again.
Thanks Flo! Looks delicious! Dude, buy her a new oil dispenser please! 😂😂😂
Right?! 😂 It was working perfectly fine until this last “cleaning” of it. 😫
I would avoid the cornstarch altogether as this dish is pretty dry already so I would just add the sauce plan to the tofu.
How can I order your books
Could air fry the tofu prior
Hey where are the written instructions to make this and the ingredient list, I am having alot of trouble finding it. I want to make this tomorrow, maybe I'm blind and can't see it..lol!
Hi Aimee, all written recipes are available to my patrons on Patreon and will be up tomorrow.
No oyster sauce?
My brother add Thai chili pepper in it
I really, really tired to like it but no 😔 LOL. But the meal does look delicious.
🤣 You’re hilarious, Myrna!
@@FloLum Flo, I have tried all kinds of tofu my sister and niece love it. I don't know ...I am a strange puppy LOL. But you got me eating lemongrass. Yay. One day I will say Flo guess what I tried tofu and now I like it. 💙💃🎊🎉
Why not drink the liquid in the container Totu was in?
👍👍👍
Your oil bottle would drive me crazy. I was having an anxiety attack watching you try to get oil out of the thing.
It just started doing that. It was working perfectly before this last cleaning. 😩
Did you say " simple foods, simple FAITH " ???? Could not understand that last word.
Hair would b flattering to cut shorter,(chin ,jawline length
🎍🙏🏻😃 Ür dude, Should just go with the Dęlectable✨FL♨️✨💦W🌟☂️
Sorry.......no do tofu!
.....Black beans NOT Soy beans???
