Drain your tofu with a paper towel and a can on top for about and hour to get water out. I would marinate or stir fry tofu as it absorbs flavor. Also it airfrys very well!
Thank you so much! I’ll try that! I’m crossing my fingers that I can get it right this time. What do you love to use it for?
Agree, love the air fryer!
I make tofu so much that I asked my hub for a tofu press last holiday season. I always buy extra firm tofu. I also press it for at least 20-30 min. If you don’t have a tofu press. Wrap in paper towel and place between plates. I have marinated my tofu like any meat. But I find tossing diced tofu in cornstarch with my seasonings of choice and shallow pan fry outside of any veg. Then adding it to the dish to combine. You can even marinate and bake until super firm. But cornstarch gives it a nice crispy bite.
Oh wow!! Wonderful! Thank you so much for the tips! Hopefully I can get the hang of it this time
I drain my tofu and then cut it into cubes and toss it with a bunch of soy sauce and powdered garlic. Then I fry it on my griddle with some oil on each side until crispy. I also like to make a tofu scramble with it. Put some butter in a pan and crumble the tofu in there and add soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other seasonings you would like. Saute that for a bit until some of the moisture is cooked out and then add some nutritional yeast to it. You can eat this as is or add it to breakfast burritos as a replacement for scrambled eggs. Just make sure you taste the scramble as you go and add what you think it needs. Maybe more garlic powder, some seasoned salt, etc.
Thank you so much for the tips! I’m going to be cooking with tofu tomorrow so I’ll try frying it like you said!
Pressing your tofu to get the extra water out ,then marinating it overnight gives it so much flavour ....if you want crispy tofu roll it in cornstarch before baking or air frying.
Thank you so much for the tips! I’ll try that!

Thanks for sharing!!
You’re welcome ☺️
My husband found some great deals on beef the last 2 weeks. We lucked out
Yay!! That’s amazing!
Drain your tofu, pat completely dry with paper towel to get water out. If your stir frying/ air frying we use potato or tapioca starch to lightly coat it. It also helps it gives a little char color. I recommend the firm / extra firm tofu
Perfect! Thank you so much for the tips!
Check out the recipe from "it doesn't taste like chicken" for baked tofu bites. They are delicious and super easy/cheap. You can eat them as is like nuggets or put them over a salad
Perfect! Thank you so much for the suggestion ☺️
I fry my drained and pressed firm tofu cubes first in about 2 tsp of oil; when crispy add 2 tsp of soy sauce to the pan and continue frying until all the sauce is soaked up. These last a few days in the fridge and can be used in stir fries or braised dishes or even in sandwiches.
Perfect!! Thank you for the tips!
Heck yeah it is!
I’m SO excited to share the recipes shortly! 🤩
Flourishing Miranda uses a lot of tofu on her channel.. and she gives different ideas on how to season it to make it taste good. Corn meal will make it crispy.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I’ll check out her channel! ☺️
Found myself quietly talking to myself @ Aldi this morning 😊, doing the Laura narrative...🙄
Haha it’s easy to do 😂
Awesome haul! I’m looking forward to seeing how you make your chuck roast in the insta pot! Also, what will you do with the cornflakes?!!
Thank you! I’m making the pot roast right now and I’m excited to show y’all the recipe! I made a copycat crispy chicken sandwich with the cornflakes last night and it turned out SO tasty! 😋
I brought sweet Potatoes to Thanksgiving this year. The recipe used cornflakes on top which made a great topping with crunch! I think the cornflakes were mixed with sugar and butter prior to topping the potatoes. So good!
@@lauriesheppard3394 yum!! That sounds amazing!! I had no idea that cornflakes were so versatile
The Dutch spice cookies are pronounced Spec- u- las , ( Dutch is my first language) ❤
Thank you so much! I was curious about the correct pronunciation. I knew I wasn’t saying it quite right 😅
Hi Laura! This doesn’t jHave anything to do with today’s video (although I enjoyed it very much!) but I wanted to let you know that my granddaughters and I made hot cocoa bombs for the first time using your tutorial, and they turned out wonderfully!! Thank you so much for posting that!!
Yay!! I’m so glad to hear that! 🤩 you’re welcome and I hope y’all had tons of fun making them! ☺️
@@LauraLegge we sure did!!
@@carriejones1433 that’s wonderful! ☺️
Since iceberg lettuce has virtually no nutrition, why do you buy it?
Personally I have acid reflux so the extra water content helps me a ton and I can make a nice salad with cucumbers and carrots that won’t bother my stomach ☺️ It’s nice and crisp and delicious too! It does have some vitamins in it but not as much as romaine, which is also delightful.
