In a hurry once to clean the kitchen I put my air fryer in the oven to wash later and forgot when I preheated the oven a few days later. Melted it and stunk the whole house. Glad I'm not the only one who hides dishes in the oven though
Honestly I'm just mindblown by how good ricepaper looks at a casing when you twist the ends. I can't believe we ever did it any other way. Awesome recipe man.
Wow I love tofu and it's versatility but I never thought that you could use it to make sausage like this. Incredible! And I like that you used rice paper for the casing, great idea💡 You are amazing your videos never disappoint.
I already tried using rice paper as sausage skin in the past, but when making seitan sausages, it won’t hold as good because of the humidity of steaming/cooking used for seitan
This is amazing and I can't wait to try this!!!!! And thank you so much for making a sausage without using seitan. Finding a good GF, vegan sausage is like finding gold.
Excited to try it, I am working on my meat texture - for one of the many Italian sausage seasoning (I am Italian), this is another option to try: dry bay leaf powder + dry sage powder + salt + pinch of sugar. Italian cousine is about clean sharp flavours, where less is more. FOr my own version, onion, galic, origan and basil would be too much
The 'Italian' sausage sold in US and Australian grocers models itself on ventricina, with characteristic flavors of garlic, sweet or spicy red pepper, and fennel seed. I agree that this sausage is more complex than necessary. Some mushroom seasoning + soy sauce (for umani), smoked paprika (smoke & color), minced garlic, red pepper flakes and fennel seed would be enough for Americans to recognize it as the 'Italian' sausage they've been exposed too. Americans would recognize sage as the flavor of breakfast sausage, mace as a characteristic flavor in German sausage, etc. I want to try one as you suggest (bay, sage) but I may substitute sweet red wine for the sugar, as it would also provide some color.
Ooo, thanks guys! Will try; just made some sausage with fennel/sage/marjoram, and some other things (not a lot, can't remember the other 2 things). Never thought to try bay leaves! Glad for these suggestions💗
@@MrDarrylR there is a type of sausages with fennel, but it is not my favourite. I make my own pork sausages and use bay+sage+salt+wine. I do also vegan sausages (I am trying to eat less meat) and my version is very good - my daughter didn't even realize they were not meat. The consistency though is a challenge
This tofu sausage seems amazing! Also the ingredients list is really simple. Can't wait to try it 😊 I would like to try that with chickpeas and maybe experiment with different type of beans or lentils. I am on a journey to eat more legumes
@@SauceStache as a binder can I use something different than methylcellulose? Seeing your recipes is the one that works better, but it's hard for me to found
@Eggplant, a channel called Recetas de Gri has vids on making cutlets from lentils and sausages from chickpeas. Her recipes are very simple and rustic -- she seems to be of modest means, and she's not a trained chef or a foodie, just an enthusiastic vegan. Her vids are in Spanish, but Eng.-lang. subtitles are available (there are some weird turns of phrase because of auto-translate, but the intention is clear).
@@eggplantphysicist7983 Sorry to step in again, but last night I tried Sauce's suggested substitute for methylcellulose, so I know which vid it is. ua-cam.com/video/xxCwybbbmfc/v-deo.html ...................... ...................... .......... He tested a few things and decided that the best is 1TB chickpea flour + 2 tsp psyllium husks + 1 tsp tapioca starch (or arrowroot). The husks are sold in large quantities (12 oz or more), but they'll keep, and they're also useful for gluten-free breads.
If you take the tofu and store in a freezer bag and freeze for 24 hours or more. The pockets of water in the tofu will expand and a lot of the water will drain out after thawing. A good shortcut if you don't want to put tofu in the oven for too long. I've had great success getting tofu to absorb seasonings by doing that. Also I may be leaving out some steps.
Thank you so much! All the other videos wrapped and steamed sausages in aluminum (ugh). Your aluminum use can be changed out for parchment so I'm so glad you demonstrated that the steaming is not necessary. Thanks again.
Hi from SoCal. I made this today but instead i used that extra super firm type of tofu and think i needed more water to the mix because my came out a little more crumbly than yours but still super duper good on the flavor and texture. Next time i will use the right tofu or add more water but omg this recipe was excellent!!! Thank you!!!
You cleaning the floor was in fact absolutely hilarious 😂😂 reminded me of the pretend going up and down the stairs vibe but just sliding back and forth 😂😂
There's something else you might want to try for pork flavoring that comes from your mushroom boiling video. When I made your breakfast sausages, instead of using a vegan pork flavor powder, I boiled about 1 pound of King Trumpet mushrooms in 1 cup of water with an 1/8 tsp of salt. I then pureed the cooked mushrooms and added them to the mix. The flavor was great and I was able to reduce the sodium in the recipe while upping the amount of tasty glutamates.
you are the best, and I like your lovely wife at the end, very nice that she comment on your cooking. I definitely will try this recipe. I love your channel, you are an honest and genuine couple. Wish you both a happy 2023, Greetings from The Netherlands. 💗💗👍👍⭐⭐
I am sure this is very tasty, but I cannot not mention, that in Hungary (my home country) the seasoning of a sausage is salt, garlic, cumin (not the common, but something which is different, for us that is 'cumin') paprika (red pepper powder) and black pepper optionally. Of course, a smoked sausage also becomes sour, so in a vegan recipe something should be used also to make it sour. Maybe this seasoning worths a try for You as well, because it is incredibly delicious! ❤
Ohhhhhhh now here we go!!! I have tofu, I have rice paper, I have everything....except methylcellulose. 😒 Can I use agar agar or a smidge of vital wheat gluten? I don't even know what the methylcellulose is for but it seems you always use it as a binding agent. I have some tapioca flour. Let me know what you would suggest because I am so going to make this. I made vegan sausages out of vital wheat gluten and it was amazing because I incorporated oil in it to give it that fatty feel in the mouth. My husband literally had no clue that it was a vegan sausage 🤣 He came home hungry and popped it in the microwave and put it in a bun and went about his business! I believe this right here, my friend is a game changer!!! Tofu Power!!!
Haha so no body has methyl cellulose just in their pantry haha 😂 but some people will order it to play with. It’s a modified cellulose, which is just plant fiber pretty much. It binds incredibly well and firms and stays firm when heated. Its incredibly close to the texture and mouthfeel of meat and there unfortunately isn’t a replacement available yet. You can get kinda close with gluten. That’s about the closest! I buy it from modernist pantry. You can find it on Amazon or some other food science stores! This is the high viscosity methylcellulose. There are lots of different versions
@saucestache I’m from New Zealand so I can’t get methyl cellulose and getting it shipped is an even bigger nightmare! I wanna try using gluten, how would I do this? Would I add it dry like the methyl cellulose or would I need to mix it with a liquid first and then cook/boil it first before adding to the tofu? Thanks!
Looks great! I personally do get digestive issues from methyl cellulose (and sometimes other emulsifiers). I kept on getting digestive issues from a lot of storebought meat replacements, but never from homemade ones. That was the only ingredient that the ones that caused issues had in common. It being a part of cellulose unfortunately doesn't mean that you digest it the same way as the whole thing (cellulose). See studies on carrageenan (especially the degraded type) which is derived from something as innocent as seaweed. I suggest looking into the studies Dr Greger/NutritionFacts has compiled on emulsifiers like methyl cellulose if you're worried. I'll try to make the sausage without the methyl cellulose and hope they somehow don't completely fall apart. It having been found to be harmless by the FDA and EFSA doesn't mean much in my book when they regularly go all the way from saying an ingredient is harmless to banning it after more studies come out
Looks good. No steaming. Rice paper is a good idea! I would leave out the methylcellulose, as I read it can act as a LAXATIVE and is "a non-caloric indigestible edible fiber in humans and can be used in food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and other industries." Substitutes include psyllium husk, guar gum, etc., but I don't like using them either. I guess I would try adding more protein powder - I have some brown rice protein powder.
I could never get the alginate casings to work, I'm going to try the rice paper thing! Love your videos, wow! Also, you're really losing weight, it's very noticeable. Looking good!
I just made very firm lentil burgers with flax egg as the binder. I’m concerned about methocellulose being too artificial which is a concern that’s been raised about fake meat as being ultra-processed. Would try this using just flax and soy with seasoning instead. Great video as always.
I love using rice pAper for making vegan sausage. Sometimes I’ll make a soup and add them. I often use potato and a variety of other add in’s, and will definitely be giving tofu a go. Also love the suggestions of seasonings, like the sage & bay leaf. Thank you for sharing!
Phenomenol! I would love for you to contact Chef TJ.... both of you are my favourite chefs at the moment and a colab between you guys would bring out some amazing food!
I want to make this! I don’t have methyl cellulose. Is there something I can use instead? Will chickpea flour be similar to the “plant protein” you mentioned? I want to use what’s available to me! Your sausages look great! Thank-you!

I am impressed by your innovative ideas , don't know if I missed it , have you tried freezing tofu ? It is a way of adding texture , freeze then thaw ; drain and then repeat the process.
Nice ideas in this one! Never would have thought tofu could make convincing sausage. That’s wild! Also, hilarious that you left in the top of your head while cleaning up!
There are so many other main ingredients I find it hard to call it a "tofu sausage," but it does look really good. My problem with almost all of the vegetarian sausage options available commercially (and I don't support beyond) is theyre never juicy or fatty enough. Especially hot dogs...they're never good.
10,000 ingredients and steps! I work so hard at a thousand different skillsets that I can't stand putting any effort into cooking. I just want to eat it. I wish I had someone who would make me such delicious meatless meals!
So in a stew it would just turn to mush... I think even browned. For a stew I would make these without the casing. Just roll them up into logs and let them rest, then give them a quick pan fry for the initial heat and so they firm up a bit. Then toss them in the stew!
Just a heads-up: You said 'sesame oil' when you were drizzling sunflower oil. (I've never had untoasted sesame oil, so I don't know if that would even count as a 'lightly flavoured' oil.)
I think out of all the videos I've watched of you making taking one ingredient and making it into another type of meat this is by far the bestest lol. I love beyond sausage the hot sausage links but they're $9 a package. 😳 Well here's another thing I'll be making to try to keep the cost of my food down great job. One question though why did you keep one part of the tofu without much seasoning I'm trying to understand that if you can explain thanks again
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!! So the reason I did the two separate tofus was to keep the constancy different in texture and color. I know it sounds silly, but our eyes play a huge part in tastes, so the closer something looks to something, the more it will taste like that too! BUT the tiny variations in texture from the plain more dried out tofu, to the seasoned tofu also make a difference in the mouth feel!
Preheating your oven when there's stuff in there is the most relatable part of this video
hahahahhaha right? like I know I put it in there... why didnt I check
SAME. With my pizza stone EVERY TIME. 🤣

@@SauceStache tip of advice for kitchen tools. Steal from old people. Their stuff was built to last. (I am kidding, don’t steal from old people…)

Adding the non-seasoned tofu chunks to look more sausage-like was a stroke of vegan genius!
Genius move with the rice paper
My brain is salivating, thinking of the flavor possibilities
Can you use vital wheat gluten instead of the powdered protein of your choice ie pea protein?

Looking forward to a printed recipe! I like using rice paper in other recipes.
Tofu really is quite versatile 😊 Great work as usual! Have you tried beefsteak mushroom by the way?
It really is!! and thank you!!!... that is a mushroom that has alluded me so far.. that and the puffball are two I really want to try
I have made many sausage variations in last 10y, sooooo doing this!!!
Nice!!
Awesome recipe. I never thought of using rice paper to make sausages. That is an excellent idea!
I do have some questions about methyl cellulose though: When I look for it here (in The Netherlands, Europe) I find some online shops that sell it, but I see use cases for eye drops, paint, etc. How do I know if it's food grade? Also I see prices varying from €90 to €180 for a kilogram. That all seems pretty costly. Anyone who can enlighten me on this?
Dat vraag ik me dus ook af.
Is there a special reason, likefood chemistry wise, for using that much vinegar?
It's a recurring theme in many vegan recipes that I find, from cakes to scrambled eggs to sauces or stews. And now these sausages vinegar in the tofu marinade and then half a cup again later in that mixture.
I don't especially fancy sour tastes and the amounts of vinegar is usually too much for my liking.
So can I just reduce/substitute the amount and will the recipe still work the same?
Going to try these without the protein/binder, hope they turn out good!
Great recipe, thanks! Can I freeze them?
Tune in next time for “Monica says the same thing at the end of every video”
I am impressed by your innovative ideas , don't know if I missed it , have you tried freezing tofu ? It is a way of adding texture , freeze then thaw ; drain and then repeat the process.
One more question I noticed you use plant basic plant protein. Can I use TVP protein?
So any textured protien will work. Personally I am a fan of plant basics protein and they are what I suggest.
Hi, thank you for the recipe. What can we replace Methyl Cellulose HV with? I'm not sure I'll find any here!

I was thinking the same. More "whole food" than Impossible or Beyond as well, maybe?
There are so many other main ingredients I find it hard to call it a "tofu sausage," but it does look really good. My problem with almost all of the vegetarian sausage options available commercially (and I don't support beyond) is theyre never juicy or fatty enough. Especially hot dogs...they're never good.
Any Ideas about where to find methylcellulose in europe that does not cost a little fortune?
excited to try it
10,000 ingredients and steps! I work so hard at a thousand different skillsets that I can't stand putting any effort into cooking. I just want to eat it. I wish I had someone who would make me such delicious meatless meals!
Looks great but I would recommend VioLife smoked provolone for the “cheese”
Have you thought of citrus pectin fibre or apple pectin fibre instead of methylcellulose?
could I mix tempeh with chickpeas.. all the spices and roll in the rice paper.. I will try at least one..
You are amazing 😭❤️
You are!!
I try lol but not at your level 🤣🤷🏼♀️
Would rice paper casing work in a stew, or would you need to to first brown it in a skillet?
So in a stew it would just turn to mush... I think even browned.
For a stew I would make these without the casing. Just roll them up into logs and let them rest, then give them a quick pan fry for the initial heat and so they firm up a bit. Then toss them in the stew!
@@SauceStache Thank you! I will try the suggested method!
Have you experimented with fermented pastes, like Gochujang, Pixiendouban or Miso before? I wonder how they would work in meat substitutes.
I'm glad she pointed out it's better for you then Beyond.
I have to agree with Monica at the end. it’s probably better for you than some of the beyond meat👍🏽
I can't wait to try this. I enjoy fennel in sausages. For this recipe, how much fennel would I use?
Hi again. Can you check out the reply below this to see if it's legit?
could i use apple cider vinegar instead of red wine vinegar????
Can you make a flat sausage? It’s so hard to find it in my area.
What kind of rice paper is that? The kind I got is crispy.
Gonna try this.
Show pitch: "Sausage Party w/ Sauce Stache' where you get all your friends to try/rate/judge etc your vegan sausage.
Variety is the spice of life! You are awesome, thank you!!!
Have you figured out a spice mix that gives a gyro meat flavor? It’s one I miss.
dinner tonight!!!! thanks mark!
Could you use something like psyllium husk powder in place of the methyl cellulose?
gotta give it to you I'm making this one forsure

Is the beetroot for flavor or color?
I made this and for some reason the sausage didn't hold up when cut and was crumbly. Any ideas?
I think out of all the videos I've watched of you making taking one ingredient and making it into another type of meat this is by far the bestest lol. I love beyond sausage the hot sausage links but they're $9 a package. 😳 Well here's another thing I'll be making to try to keep the cost of my food down great job.
One question though why did you keep one part of the tofu without much seasoning I'm trying to understand that if you can explain thanks again
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!! So the reason I did the two separate tofus was to keep the constancy different in texture and color. I know it sounds silly, but our eyes play a huge part in tastes, so the closer something looks to something, the more it will taste like that too! BUT the tiny variations in texture from the plain more dried out tofu, to the seasoned tofu also make a difference in the mouth feel!
