To skip the pressing, buy extra-firm tofu (just dab it dry after slicing). In any case, cut up and freeze a few blocks at once (I do 5 at a time). That way, whenever you want some you just gotta defrost, season and bake. The whole pressing and freezing isn't supposed to be done every time. Do that bit in bulk, then you always got some frozen ready to go. Cheers guys
I've made the dislike count public so that you can decide whether this video is worth your time.
I worked hard on these videos and, as a relatively small creator, I was very proud of my (mostly good) like/dislike ratios.
Hard work and a good ratio will encourage others to watch videos which I think is great for new or small channels.
I hope you are all well. I'm doing great. Thank you for the fun times.

Hold up, you are still out there? So you just quit making videos right?
Come back !!! (Why would anyone dislike this video ?)
Jules! Your recipes are awesome!!!! I tweaked this recipe a little bit (I now freeze the tofu in the block and process it later) but without it I would be so lost! Thank you for sharing the recipe and so many more and making vegan cooking so informative and funny!!
“A sprinkle of salt”
*Adds the Pacific Ocean*
tbh the main mistake people make in cooking is under-salting things before they cook them or over-salting them afterwards. It won't taste that salty if you salt it that early
Big Phat Walrus I added half the amount of soy sauce and it was the perfect amount. I didn’t add salt whatsoever. Would’ve gave me hypertension on the spot 🤷♂️
Big Phat Walrus Great recipe, I just don’t agree that much salt is needed.

Ive been vegetarian for literally a week. If anyone wants like an easier version:
Get firm tofu. Crumble it with your hands, making it the size of like a cube in a rubix cube. (My first time doing it, i made them really small like ground beef and it just wasnt the right move. I like biting and chewing.) Get a baking pan and put parchment paper or foil. Grease it if youre using foil. Then for 30-45 minutes, or until light brown color, bake it at 350 Fahrenheit. You just dried it out, meaning no need for pressing your tofu. Make sure you stir it occasionally in the oven. If you dont for the entire duration, it wont char and burn. But we want to stir at the very least halfway at cookin time to get all sides equally crisped up.
At the end, it will be dehydrated. If you eat one, it will be chewy. But to rehydrate it a little bit, throw in something saucy. Ive used it for vegan chili and vegan sofritas. Do whatever. Bam, chewy, meaty tofu.
Ive never tried it in my air fryer. If anyone tries it out in their sir fryer let me know
Update: I have been vegetarian for 2 months now, almost 3. I do this every time I make tofu.
Get an air fryer. Spray the cooking pan with oil. You do not need to put oil on the tofu. Cut tofu to whatever size you want. I have tried cutting it small to put in wontons. I have also tired cutting it really big for pad thai. All sizes work. Do not crumble it with your hands. Use a knife. Air fry at 400° until your desired texture. For me, it is usually 15-20 minutes. Air fryers cut baking time in half. I was shocked. The texture is great. Cooking is quick. Clean up is more, but the texture of the tofu is worth it.
If your looking to make fried chicken though, I swear on everything oyster mushrooms will change your life! Oyster mushrooms, not king oyster mushrooms. Look up Fried Chicken oyster mushrooms by Fineapple Vegan. The mushrooms has strands like chicken. It smells like chicken and the marinade is fantastic. Its chewy. It not fool anyone because the shape, but the taste and texture is definitely there
Thank u for this info
Thanks for this advice. Just used our air fryer last night for sweet potato fries and I had forgotten how convenient it is. Never tried tofu but I’ll try your method tomorrow.
Thank you! Im on day 18 of 40day Daniel faster
@@calderonjd30 same lol 🙏🏼
Be vegan. Watch "dairy is scary" here on youtube
Finding out that tofu must be frozen changed my life. I always wondered why "restaurant tofu" was so great and my tofu was so cardboard
Freezing tofu isn't a must unless you want it to have a spongy or chewy texture. There are many ways of cooking tofu that don't require freezing it beforehand but still produce delicious results. Take it from an Asian who's eaten tofu all my life.

Just adorable 🤣🤣
Long time, hard core, meat eater. I've had tofu before and wasn't too impressed. Just tried this tofu recipe ( my first time cooking with tofu) with the family and we give it a 5 star review. We aren't scared of vegan dishes. It just isn't really part of our culture. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Awesome
I’d recommend switching 1 dinner a week w a vegan meal! It’s a fun way to switch things up and decrease carbon footprints
Thank you for giving vegan stuff a chance!
Well, meat sweats is a real thing to some extent. The rest is just because I'm a filthy human being with little regard for those around me. Were you trying to make a point here Marienne?

Its easy just mix chicken meat into tofu so it will taste like chicken
Thanks for this video, this was the first time I cooked tofu and liked it! But I think I have come across a simpler way of prepping the tofu - its essentially the same steps, just a different order, but for me its easier:
1. Freeze the tofu straight away when I bring it home from the supermarket.
2. The night before I want to cook it, I take it out of the freezer.
3. Next day before I start cooking, i cut it into pieces and use my fingers to squeeze out the liquid.
Then do your method of soy sauce, oil and cornflour.
Because the tofu has been frozen, its consistency has already changed and doesnt fall apart easily. This makes it easy for me to squeeze the water out instantly and dont have to use books or wait a long time for the water to drain.
This is one of the best UA-cams I've ever seen and I've been on the tube for 15 years. Not just because I love tofu and am vegetarian but the commentary, explanation, and the fact that when I made those they were delicious AF. But most importantly you made me laugh, but at the same time, the whole video was about eating healthy. It shows you can be funny, and realistic at the same time. Nowadays the internet is so damn serious, it's good to laugh and talk about health at the same time without shaming it.
just tested it out...so damned good..first time I like eating tofu. Cheers from Paris
Thanks a lot man. Glad it was a success 👍
Ezequiel Contreras Because the owner of this channel is vegan, but maybe because its nice to try new thing's.l
lmazeas Why try and make something taste like something else? Can you make pork taste like beef? Seems equally pointless!
Vegeta’ Bich mom maybe some people can't eat a certain thing, maybe they're vegan and can't eat meat, maybe their religion doesn't allow them, there's so many possibilities. also, some people like to try new things, so it's interesting to them

@@KK-dh3wq huh?
Can have different meaning for us guys ey haha.
😂😂😂 too much hard work for me
I had to comment.
This tastes amazing!!
I kind of followed your steps, except:
1. I let the tofu press over night.
2. Left remaining tofu in soy sauce mixture( I made it up with what I had).
3. Did not bake due to prolonged pressing.
4. Pan seared after dusting with seasoned flour until I thought they were good and crispy.
5. Tofu was sliced thinly.
This tastes so good!! I am shocked honestly. I thought I was going to trash it. Tofu has seemed like a hard ingredient to cook these past years, but this has given me a TON of ideas.
I'll be coating this in egg roll wrappers to make a fried "chicken" next.
Thank you so much.
I was so hesitant in making this. I’m new vegan and was so excited to try tofu and although it was a tremendous process it turned out amazing. I couldn’t get it as firm as possible before I started baking bc it started to crumble a bit. I did half the tofu using the method you did. The other have I used Just Egg as a batter and panko bread crumbs as a coating. It was delicious. Thank you. I’m going to definitely remake this again.
here are most of the answers for people who ask this common question; "If vegans/vegetarians don’t want to eat animals, why would they eat something that tastes like meat?"
Most vegans/vegetarians grow up eating animal products, becoming accustomed to the taste and texture. You May ask, "Why not just eat the real thing?" Vegans/vegetarians don't eat meat due to most of the meat industry's messed up way of treating animals. Also, some people become vegan/vegetarian because they cannot digest meat properly. We miss the taste and texture of meat, not the way animals are being treated and the health issues it gives us.
For people who get pissed about plant-based meat being called meat, what the hell are we supposed to call it? There's a reason why it's called plant-based meat or vegan meat because it has the TASTE and TEXTURE of real meat.
Please note, do I respect everyone's choice of eating and not eating meat. I'm not the type to force others what's right and what's wrong. :)
yeah, but why i met many vegans, that say, that meat stinks, that meat hasn't got a taste and you feel only spices, not meat, when you eat it?
N84N oh why have i met someone somewhere who said something about this and that? lol how exactly is your question relevant for the main comment, is it supposed to be some sort of challenging assumption? yeah u met some dudes who said they think meat is disgusting. so what? i meet people who find vegetables disgusting all the time, it's called having a personal taste i guess..

WHY all these “just eat chicken!” “It’s still not chicken!” comments? Guys, the channel is called the easy VEGAN, it is obvious it’s going to offer alternatives to the real thing. Simply, not everyone is fine with chickens being killed for us to eat, but it tastes good so why don’t try to recreate it with non-animal products? It is as simple as that.
Surreal Utopia But we kill plants to eat!?!?!🤔🤔
ウルトラLRinstinct well, it’s definitely not the same. They have no central nervous system, so probably can’t feel pain, or at least can’t feel it the way animals do. Then, a lot of vegetable products would have “died” anyway, like fruit: even if no one picked it, in a few days it would have fallen from the tree. And I would kill even more plants if I ate animal products, since crops are needed to feed the animals, so if I really cared about plants the only thing I could do is starve to death...which is quite ridiculous. So, due to the lack of alternatives, I prefer to eat something that doesn’t bleed, scream and oppose itself when killed.
Surreal Utopia Or maybe people are on a budget, like tofu and couldn't give less a shit about chickens being killed, like vegans are the only one that like this shit
Surreal Utopia but isn't it kind of hypocritical for them to look for meaty flavour in vegan things then judge others who don't have time for these 'alternatives' and just go for the real thing
khush 17 Tofu is widely accessible
Great video. This really helped me out a lot. I do large preps like you showed and have them stored in the freezer. Then I can just take one out and toss into dishes in various ways, the same way i used meat in the past. Wonderful!

I like eating meat too but that doesn’t mean you have to go around provoking people for no reason. Just what I believe.

This is very useful, I was thinking about incorporate tofu for the first time for the salads since I'm planning to stop eating chicken.
I would love to shorten this process for you drastically, and have better results for a chicken texture....
Drain tofu, (don't press yet because you want the water for the freezing process), cut up, freeze. When you want to make your 'chicken', defrost and press (I use my hands and then a tea towel, it will only take about 5 mins instead of 20 because of the new crystallized texture from freezing). Now flavor it and cook. :) Tah-dah!
Does it work?
@@kawaimochi7782 Yes, that's why I wrote the comment. I also like to cut the tofu up first because it's more difficult to slice after it has been frozen.
Thanks for sharing. So are you saying no need to bale in the oven to make it crispy?
@@alkadeshmukh2404 obviously she doesnt say this. if you want something to be crispy, you have to make it crispy. cooking doesnt work, frying or baking works.

yo this video was sick! I just found your channel. I really enjoyed the editing and the simplistic nature of the meals.... great work keep it up!
I was skeptical but this actually made me like tofu so I cant thank you enough. If anyones worries about no having corn flour, yes regular flour works just fine.
But corn flour (corn starch) is known to make fried foods super crunchy. That's why it's used for Korean and Japanese fried chicken. And it doesn't get soggy under the sweet hot sauce. Even some American cooks have added it to the traditional flour.
You seem like a optimistic and positive version of "you suck at cooking" that is also vegan.
I'm not vegan myself - not even vegetarian - but if I get to make tofu again sometime, I might try out some of your tipps.
Tofu should not just be part of vegan/vegetarian diets, but just for everyone - not even necessarily as a replacement for meat, but as an addition.

@@StheH4x0r i had alligator in elementary and it tasted like chicken
I honestly missed you. Thanks for this. I'll try it. Also, you have me randomly saying "mixie mixie mix" when I cook now, so thanks.
Excited to try this. I now eat chicken, but grew up vegetarian and like the taste of tofu and it’s versatility, but still eager to try new things.
I made this for dinner and i ate it all before dinner. Its absolutely devine
My Chinese @ss was highly offended in the beginning
Jk lol
This is rlly interesting
Hey
My southeast asian fore$kin was too
My deflated duck toes were too
The King Of North lol shut up boi
no one cares zipperhead
My Asian supermarket actually sells deep-fried, freeze-dried tofu in cubes (3x3x3 cm) or in a whole block (which is up next on my shopping list). As you said the texture is amazing. It is not like “regular” tofu at all. I cut them up and add them to different warm dishes and even salads. They add a cheese like texture too. The deep-frying keeps the flavour neutral and they take on any flavour in a sauce or a salad dressing. I’m glad you posted this because your ingenuity is amazing - from the homemade tofu press to the homemade microwave tofu drainer. You’re a true kitchen “MacGyver”!
I was already thinking that SURELY much of this process could be mechanised and sold frozen. Now I know! I'll look for that deep-fried / freeze-dried tofu.
Richard Ian Tracy I just had a salad and added the deep fried/freeze dried tofu which I cut up like you would cheese. It absorbs the salad dressing well and adds a meat like texture to the salad.
I hope your lucky enough to find some. Good luck!
Yay! Thx. (-:
Wow! That all looks so good 🤤 thanks for the tips! I’m definitely going to make more tofu dishes in the near future.

Thank you for the fantastic clip! It was very well shown and explained 👍
“Just add abit of soya sauce”
*Proceeds to add 10 Gallons*
that's less than half of what I usually use...
if you don't like soy sauce you can use broth or gravy or something, anything you like really.
And just 2 shots of vodka😂
Did you just copy a comment?
@koko nut 😂😂
no... that's not a lot at all.
I'm not vegan but meat is very costly so Ill try this ..
ZC Meat is cheap
ZC mate where do you live? Steaks are expensive but not meat in general
Meat is cheap
Meat where I live is about twice the cost of tofu
Try tempeh too
Chinese-American here. I've eaten tofu all my life. I must admit that I bristle whenever I see people complaining about how tasteless it is; chicken is equally as bland if you don't season it or otherwise impart some kind of flavoring to it, and tofu is no different.
Also, tofu isn't typically frozen before it's used in cooking, although that would make sense if you want to make it spongy or chewy.
I loved your video!! Very entertaining! Love the humor you throw in 😊
I just tried this recipe. It was delicious and crispy. I have tried many recipes and this was the best. Attempting to eat a plant based and glad I found your posting early on!
Instead of just soy sauce, I'd add a tiny bit of liquid smoke and some apple cider vinegar to make as close to bbq as I can get.
@Juli Brown be easy on the liquid smoke. It can overpower things easily. I think smoked paprika can help too but don't use both at the same time. Also, Worcestershire sauce works wonder (if you're a vegetarian or vegan, there are vegan versions of it).
I use liquid aminos instead of soy sauce, it’s a healthy vegan alternative.
Ew. Or just buy chicken. Which in itself isn’t vinegary or smokey.
@@joshuajackson4742 tofu isn't vinegar-y or smokey either, silly 😂😌
Good idea!
Awesome, the best presentation on a humble tofu. It’s added colour, shape and taste. What more do anyone wants?
Bless you. Thank you very much, we thoroughly enjoy it.🙏💕
