      As soon as they showed the type of tofu I was like, ohhhh no! Mary was VERY specific it needs to be medium/traditional! So glad y'all gave it another go!

  • @soyouredatingavegan
    @soyouredatingavegan  6 років тому +88

    PSA: We couldn't find the exact tofu that Mary recommended (medium-firm or traditional) but the second brand that we tried, Sunrise, worked better for the texture. Also: don't use actual Rice Krispies! They're not vegan. We used a brand of puffed rice cereal called Erewhon.

    • @richardhunt4971

      Where did you find the Sunrise brand tofu?

    I’m so excited to see you make Mary’s recipe. I love her channel! I cannot believe how much a difference it made with different brands of tofu because I’d assume all firm tofu would be almost the same. A local vegan friendly fried chicken place just opened in Dallas, and they use huge pieces of oyster mushroom double battered fried, and it tastes just like dark meat fried chicken from KFC. You guys are the cutest couple. And I love that Theo is now a regular guest on the show.

    @jennifers2555 6 років тому +9

    I LOVE Mary's Test Kitchen and find that her recipes are pretty much bullet proof and I had the exact same experience as your first attempt... it's just difficult to find the right tofu. It came out good, but didn't have those "layers" so I'm going to have to do exactly what you did--go to an Asian market to get a different brand. I'll try it again for sure!

    • @Ana-ls8rh
      @Ana-ls8rh 6 років тому

      Try super firm tofu. It is indeed "super" firm. Make sure you freeze it first though. It's very firm and chewy like real meat.

  • @SuperFosterMom
    @SuperFosterMom 6 років тому +17

    When you heat fats or oils to high temperatures, as with deep-frying, they can become oxidized, creating free radicals.
    Oxidative stress occurs when an oxygen molecule splits into single atoms with unpaired electrons, which are called free radicals. ... Electrons like to be in pairs, so these atoms, called free radicals, scavenge the body to seek out other electrons so they can become a pair. This causes damage to cells, proteins and DNA.
    Choose an oil with a high smoke point, like grapeseed or Safflower (I am a clinical chemistry scientist)

    • @Anikoxx

    • @MissNymwhen
      @MissNymwhen 5 років тому

      I can tell you now that you can't. You can only fry things in an air fryer that you can coat in oil or doesn't need oil. It's just flour and it will be dry and chalky without any oil so you need some oil but you can't toss it in oil because it's flour coated. So deep frying is your best bet, you can do it in the oven and spray with oil but anything coated with flower will be best in a deep frying.

    Do you think using extra firm would move it up on the tofu to chicken firmness scale? I'm a big fan of the extra firm tofu and I have used the freeze then thaw texture change since I discovered it. I just feel like it makes for easier pressing. PS: I love the clean up montage after your videos!

  • @cjpartridge
    @cjpartridge 6 років тому
