I have been vegan for over 25 years...cooked tofu many different ways...made the pudding/pie many times...but NEVER in the ways you just taught me!! I can't wait to try everything you showed us! Your chocolate chip cookie recipe from a while ago... with the slightly ground oats... is BY FAR...the best cookie recipe EVER! Those of you reading this...if you haven't made those cookies...find the recipe and do so!!!...
@@RachelSiter I'd make the pie with just silken tofu...melted chips and maple syrup...Nikki's additional ingredients will make it firmer...which is great!!
@@elahalilovic8565 SO nice...thank you! I've fallen but the way side with cheese now and then...but NEVER meat...except for failures after a bite from restaurants ...UGGGG!!!
@@evandelegeane7596 hey thats great ! It happens from time to time to all of us unintentionally. Very kantian for me to say, but we are doing what we can with good intention :)
I want to say first I have not had chocolate pie since becoming vegan 4 years ago. I made your pie Nikki with the silken tofu. Chef's 💋. It is absolutely 🔥🔥 10 out of 10 recommend!
The frittata is NEXT LEVEL made it yesterday and ate half of it over a big salad. Gonna eat the rest tonight 🤤 The cinnamon in it is so freaking good.❤
I do a snack smoothie sometimes with tofu, 1/2 banana, pb2, celery, zucchini, spinach, frozen pineapple and you'll think I'm crazy but also add a little bit of cooked sweet potato... this combo has such a unique and good flavor
Just this week I used soft tofu to make a creamy lemon pasta sauce and oh my goodness - so so good!! I love how versatile tofu is, and it's something I wish I had known when I first went vegetarian as a kid.
Your videos are so down to the earth and your recipes are accessible. Thank you. I just found chickpea tofu for the first time at my local store. Have you ever prepared that? Not sure what to do with it 🧐
Keeping dates in the refrigerator isn't weird at all! They have the most wonderful, gooey consistency and taste so decadent, just on their own. I think the initial quality factors in, because a good medjool date like you have there is exactly right.
All the recipes look delicious 🤤 I will definitely try them out 👍can you please make a video on meal prep for a week? I love your recipes and would be nice to see your weekly meal prep Thank you Nikki
Great video👏....I cannot believe how many tofu videos came out this week and everyone's recipes are unique...I just cube mine and toss in the air fryer and then throw in my saucy stir fry....or I just eat it right out of the package😆
I had a frittata last week after your video. So good! I added shredded potatoes to make it feel like a complete meal for me. I love air frying pressed tofu coated with hot sauce and nutritional yeast. It's a staple for wraps, salads, and snacking.
I’ve used tofu in most ways but never in a smoothie. I’m definitely buying silken tofu today to try it. My favorite way is using it in pies. I make a similar pie except I use peanut butter and chocolate 🍰
Hi Nikki I just want to tell you that I love your videos, they are very unique.. and the recipes make me just want to go out get the stuff and make them. I like to use silken Tofu for scrambled eggs and tumeric for color salt n pepper but I found with silken you have to be patient and cook it a lot longer, then I add spinach at the end.. ❤️✨
I love your tofu ricotta! It really can be used for so many things! I love it for a snack with rice crackers and add sliced almonds and cranberries on top!
Oh using the frittata recipe to make breakfast sandwiches is genius! Totally trying this next weekend. Thank you! All the recipes look great. I don’t have a better name for it but I’m going to try out your pan fried tofu soon too.
Wow! You had my attention the whole video. I struggle with tofu and you make it so enticing. Beautiful. And Those shells…I’m gonna make them for sure and thank you with every bite. And I’m gonna look up your books. ❤
Love your videos and recipes! :) My two favourite ways to eat tofu are: chocolate tofu mousse and tofu scramble. Chocolate tofu mousse: In a blender, put 1 pkg silken tofu, 1 pkg MELTED Enjoy Life chocolate chips, 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp vanilla. It blends up creamy but keep it in the fridge for a few hours to firm up, and it's so decadent. Tofu Scramble: saute any veggies (I love mushrooms, green peas, broccoli) in 1 tbsp oil in frying pan; drain and add 1 pkg firm tofu, crumbled. Add 1/2 tsp turmeric, salt & pepper, and 2 tbsp nutritional yeast. Fry over medium heat until as browned as you like. You can also add cumin, garlic, cayenne to taste.
More great recipes, thank you! I find that while I don’t always follow a recipe, what you give me are ideas to expand my repertoire. I love tomatoes, and sun dried tomatoes are on another plane for me, so the pan fried tofu looks like a must try. Everything you do makes it easier to eat healthier and go vegan. I love potato starch to amp up the crispy factor. Looking forward to trying some of these recipes, they all look great. Hope you have a great week.
Hi Nikki! Great minds think alike!! I have 2 blocks of tofu and was looking for new recipes for them since I’m so tired of just pan ‘frying’ them. Thank you for sharing your gift of creating new, fresh, very accommodating recipes. Would you be open to creating a video for different tempeh recipes? I have 2 packages in my freezer and they are begging to be used!! 😃 I look forward to your inspiring, informative content all the time and love to revisit your past videos. 🥰
Hi Nikki! I always get so excited every time you create a new video because I know it’s going to be great!!! These recipes all look amazing. I’ve made your tofu ricotta numerous times and it is spot on! To me it tastes like the real deal only better!! Thank you once again for all you do!! ❤️
Another fantastic video Nicole with great Tofu recipe ideas. I don't love or hate Tofu but occasionally eat it in a stir fry or curry and needed ideas and inspiration beyond these 2 things and Nicole didn't disappoint. Love 🥰 the video.
it’s so funny bc tofu gets such a bad reputation from non-vegans who say its plain and flavorless when the reality is the complete opposite- so versatile and makes the most delicious balanced dishes ♥️ i have been waiting to get a tofu press and getting by with just towels which works totally fine!! i really love Trader Joe’e super firm tofu, it’s pretty much ready to go after draining because it’s that firm. but i found a brand new tofu xpress in the box at a thrift store recently. it was 4.99 but the tag color that day was half price so i got it for $2.50 🥹☺️ i was elated, it’s my best find, maybe ever. thanks for these amazing tofu ideas. so yummy 🤤
I just searched your website to see if you have a recipe for whipped cream. I found one for coconut whipped cream. Is that what you used to top the chocolate pie? Or did you use a store bought one? If so, what brand do you prefer? Thanks!
I make tofu like this all the time, its the only way my non-vegan family will eat it.....they love Asian dishes! I would call it 'pan fried extra tofu'. Keep it simple, but when you know, you know! 😉 Loving your channel so much, thank you for such brilliant and practical content xoxo
I like all the yummiest, Nicole! Will try them all! Did you use a store bought whipped cream for the pie, or do you have a recipe that you can share?🥰😋😋
I think using tofu for baking pies (especially pumpkin pies) is my favorite! I avoided it for years because i thought it must be "gross" but you really can't taste the tofu!
Bravo on this video! You got a new sub from me! I recently made a Key Lime Pie on my page too and *your dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected my fellow chef! 😁
I really needed this, so thank you so much. I do have a question, though. What do you consider a serving of tofu? From what I can tell, the packages all say they have 4 servings, but whenever I see a recipe made with a photo, it looks a good deal more on one plate than what I would estimate one serving to be. I just don't know so I am genuinely asking. I do realize that unlike meat, it's got a better nutrition profile so it probably doesn't really matter if I splurge a little on our plates/in our bowls. I just know that if I serve one serving as per the package, it doesn't look like much (especially for those really hearty eaters in the house!). I appreciate your input, Nikki. BTW, I have plans to make your tater tot casserole here soon. :)

Wow wow wow! Probably my favorite video to date!! I plan on making multiple of these recipes this week! They seem easy quick and budget friendly!!

my favorite way to cook tofu is air fried. just salt pepper and some herbs. so good
Mmm tofu ricotta stuffed shells 😋

"Easy sun dried tomato tofu"!
Sunny Scorched Tofu!
all of these look sop freakin good!! the squash omelette looks like a great option because i've been bored of oats and toast in the morning
Try the double freezer method to make fried chicken sandwich
Ooooo what's the double freezer method?

Nikki, You are my favorite vegan recipe UA-camr! I just love how easy and attainable you make your recipes and they all look so good!
Yumm!! My go-to way to eat tofu is in a scramble with veggies I need to use up in my fridge. Easy, delicious, and full of nutrition. 😋
I put tofu in smoothies sometimes too. I'm needed some new ways to cook tofu. I mostly make tofu scrambles. It's easy & quick.
All the recipes look delicious 🤤 I will definitely try them out 👍can you please make a video on meal prep for a week? I love your recipes and would be nice to see your weekly meal prep Thank you Nikki

Omg you are so innovative. I love this soo much!!

Great ideas, thanks for the video. FYI, none of your links are working.....

I don't eat tofu or anything else with the fiber removed. Idk why I'm watching this lol
