    Adding my go to way of making tofu without using a press:
    I cut into strips, i get 12 from a 400g block of tofu.
    I get about 50g of flour and add in some sesame seeds, salt, pepper, chinese 5 spice, garlic powder all to taste.
    Coat the strips in the flour mixture and put straight onto a greased oven tray - the retained water will make the flour seasoning stick and draw out the moisture to make a thick batter
    Bake how you like, high temps and a short bake will get them crispy while keeping them soft inside, longer bakes on lower temps will dry them out more.
    Love having these with some fried rice / noodles or in sandwiches with some humus and hot sauce!

    Loved the baked tofu idea, Leif. I made it last night with the same lemon and pepper McCormick spice blend and it was fantastic. I splashed some fresh lemon juice on top for the last 2 minutes of baking. So simple and easy to make. Thanks! :)

    I love using tofu in sweet dishes instead of cottage cheese (popular in Russia), works perfectly.

      The butterfly method is my favorite! I hope you love it too! 🤩 Here are the amounts used in the video: 1 16 oz package of silken tofu, 4 cups frozen fruit, 2 fresh bananas, and 1/2 cup of water blended! 😁

    How do you press Tofu?

    • @TheVeganGym
      @TheVeganGym  Рік тому

      There are tofu pressers available, but the simple way is to wrap it in a towel, put it between two plates, and put a heavy object on top! 🙂

    not keen baking on aluminium foil, given that at high temperatures the food becomes tainted by the foil. Not good. I use baking paper, or a silicone mat instead
