I love tofu, but i wish our local Aldi's would have it consistently, it's so hard to get lately. I was never fond of meat so I'm not big on emulating dead animals like many vegan recipes seem to do, I just want the taste and texture to hit that high note! Happy mother's day to all you amazing, resourceful, hard working moms!!!
@@CharGC123 My local ALDI started more consistently stocking tofu after I asked them. I just said I buy two blocks every week and I've sadly had to visit a different store several times when they didn't have it in stock.
Thank you for the Mother's Day wishes! I spent it cooking for others -- had a big Mother's Day brunch here at the sanctuary. It was a beautiful event and a lovely way to spend Mother's Day!
Great recipe. I noticed adding balsamic vinegar with Sherry gives such a unique meatier taste. Cooking for others is a joy but sadly life changes but there is always an upside. Leftovers for days you don't wish to cook lol
Just commenting to say I made this and it was delicious! My husband absolutely raved. Thank you for being an unabashed bright light in the darkness of consumerism, capitolism, and the age of the carnivore diet. I can't join you in Naples this time but really excited to join you on a future cooking class tour.
Love this! I cooked for 5 with my family, and growing up cooked for 7. Now I cook for just myself, and try to freeze leftovers if I have too much. Smaller amounts can be harder to train my brain to do. Thanks for something new to try! Haven’t seen ‘tofu steak’ as yet and will give this a try. 🙏🏻🫶🏻xx
So glad I found your channel! I love your sanctuary. It's like watching my dream life :-) Hard work I know, but so very worthwhile. I will be making this tofu steak for dinner this week. Thank you!
Hi Miyoko, I cook for just me too but I always make enough for at least 2 meals. These Tofu steaks look incredible. I’m going to make them for my Christmas dinner. I love to add mushrooms as well. So yummy. I love your channel and your recipes. You’re wonderful. I’ve been Vegan for 12 years and it’s for life. ❤
You are not alone, you are amazing. I will have to make this soon. I’ve been vegan all my life and love your recipes. Thank you for your soul and spirit of life, good food, loving our animals.
Looks pretty damn nice, cheers. I'd be (no, I will be) turning that marinade into a mushroom (and maybe onion) gravy, thicken it with a rice flour roux. I normally use miso but that might be overkill with the balsamic and soy, maybe it won't. Only one way to find out.
Time sure flies! I could swear that I just watched you with your daughter talking about your oven being out and preparing something delicious to share with daddy after. Thank you for another lovely video.
Oh what a wonderful meal. You had me drooling. While I cook for one now, my skills need a great amount of practice. Thank you for sharing. Would you by chance list the name of the cookbook you used please?
I'm ashamed to say I don't cook at all. But my husband is an amazing cook and we have all of your cookbooks (including the one in the video)! I would love him to try making this! ❤❤❤
My mouth is literally watering! Everything looks so delicious. I will definitely be making this dish. Thank you Miyoko for creating another fabulous recipe that's easy, healthy and mouthwatering! You are not alone, we are all here with you and cheering you on!❤
Thanks so much for that recipe! Im going to use that marinade in a "potjie" which is a stew cooked in a cast iron pot over the fire with some oyster mushrooms and veg! Ill defs try the tofu next.
I just love your recipes. Thank you so much. I have been cooking just for myself since February. Still trying to adjust. I definitely want to try this one.
Thanks, Miyoko! For steak type tofu, I like to fteeze the tofu. Then whenever I want to use it, I will boil it in a pot of super salted walter(water tastes almost like the ocean)and then the finished product is pretty firm, somewhat meat like. I never noticed if it absorbed marinade better tho, but it probably does.
I am glad youtube recommended this. You are not alone😊. You have us your viewers. Wow what a master piece! I am going plant base this will be going on my list. I love your energy and personality. I am subscribing. Greetings from Toronto Canada.
I love Al, your recipes! Y thank you for teaching us how to cook plant based meals, and simple but great tasting! I don’t drink wine so what can I substitute for it in the marinade please?
Miyoko, this would be my dream trip! I won't be able to afford it this year but if I start now I could save enough for next. Will you be going again next year?
Miyoko - you are a creative, skilled and talented Chef. Love your recipes yet feel best to be oil free. Would you PLEASE consider writing a cookbook or recording some videos oil free & sugar free??? It would be a best seller for those of us on a WFPB diet.😊
@@thevegangoodlifewithmiyoko Miyoko, will check that idea out. Would it roughly be same measurement as sub? Or see what texture looks like after adding? Thank you so much for answering.
The one issue I have is this: if the tofu and mushrooms/greens are done and then you cook the grains, aren't the tofu and veges stone cold by the time the grains are cooked?
I've owned your Now and Zen cookbook for decades! Haven't cooked anything from it in a while. I used to make your tofu bacon recipe all the time, back in the day. How long do you think the marinade would last in the fridge?
Without any tofu in it, it will last for a couple of months. Don't keep the tofu in it for more than a week or so, as it will start to turn. If you aren't going to eat the tofu, freeze it!
I cook for one essentially. The wife has regressed in her finickyness. I have to cook for her separately like when my adult children were 5 and 9. Looks great. Will follow your Italian cooking classes.
You are NOT alone, you have us... all your fans! Thanks for the great videos and inspiration!
Aw, thank you so much! I feel the love!
@@thevegangoodlifewithmiyoko✨️🥰💖💖💖✨️
Also though, maybe she likes being alone? Lots of women do…
Fabulous! Who says tofu is plain?! It's an empty canvas waiting for an artist!!! Happy Mom's Day, Miyoko!💐🧡

another added benefit of vegan cooking-you can reuse marinade 🌱🤘🏽 thank you for the recipe
Great recipe. I noticed adding balsamic vinegar with Sherry gives such a unique meatier taste.

man those cooking classes sound amazing.

I cook for one (+ 1 dog), so this is perfect. Thank you!
Ha ha, I have two dogs and they get leftovers sometimes!
ASorry Miyoko - san that you are alone now but you have us to help you eat all of that delicious food.
Absolutely! I cooked for 30 today for Mother's Day!
Love this! I cooked for 5 with my family, and growing up cooked for 7. Now I cook for just myself, and try to freeze leftovers if I have too much.

HaHa! That’s exactly right! “Train my Brain” Even when I have intentions to cook a small portion, somehow it ends up being enough for four!🤣😂
@@SK-ki1te ikr? So frustrating at times to have huge leftovers 😂
Same!
So glad I found your channel! I love your sanctuary. It's like watching my dream life :-) Hard work I know, but so very worthwhile. I will be making this tofu steak for dinner this week. Thank you!
It's my way too....love 1 pan cast meal!!!
Happy Mothers Day Miyoko
Happy Mother’s Day! Love that recipe 💜
Thank you!
Thankyou Miyoko! This is right on time, it looks DELISH!
Always worth it to cook for yourself.
It truly is!
Danke Miyoko 🙏 für diese neue Tofu-Idee, mir läuft das Wasser im Mund 🤤zusammen - Greatings from Bavarian

I do appreciate your description of being alone. I can so relate! Your Tofu steak looked incredible!! I'm looking forward to trying it!
Sorry you are alone, Miyoko. We all so appreciate you!
Miyoko you are one of the most inspiring people I see on UA-cam, or maybe anywhere.
You are not alone, you are amazing. I will have to make this soon. I’ve been vegan all my life and love your recipes. Thank you for your soul and spirit of life, good food, loving our animals.
Adorable! Im always looking for a great marinate. Thank you. Italy, just might be in my future!?
I hope so!
Looks pretty damn nice, cheers.

I remember tofu steki while I was working in Japan. It was great and you are right, I could find it everywhere. Thanks for the recipe.
My pleasure!
Yummy! Your kitchen is a restaurant. Can't wait to try this recipe 😋
Thank you for making me smile. I was grinning from ear to ear during your tasting session. Yum!
also, I love the way the veggies are from your garden. what a dream
I absolutely loved this recipe. ❤😋❤️Thank you for sharing this outrageously delicious tofu recipe with us .
My wife Yumiko and I love your butter,..we use it all the time to make our vegan apple cake....We'll try the Tofu steak..thanks !!!
You are an icon to women business owners. So proud of what you have built and still sharing your knowledge so gracefully
That Tofu steak dish looks incredible- and what a fun video! ❤
Going to boil some tofu now! and then marinate it. Great recipe!
Time sure flies! I could swear that I just watched you with your daughter talking about your oven being out and preparing something delicious to share with daddy after.
Thank you for another lovely video.
i cook for one, and this looks AmAzInG!!!!!
I made this yesterday and cooked it today. It was incredible! Thank you!
We are here with you, Queen!❤
Love fine dining at home ❤ Looks delicious. Grateful for you 🥰
Miyoko, the Naples experience looks incredible! Wishing you the best on all of it!
Thank you so much!!
Oh what a wonderful meal. You had me drooling. While I cook for one now, my skills need a great amount of practice. Thank you for sharing. Would you by chance list the name of the cookbook you used please?
The New Now and Zen Epicure: Gourmet Vegan Recipes for the Enlightened Palate

Your food looks absolutely deliciously amazing !!!
I'm ashamed to say I don't cook at all. But my husband is an amazing cook and we have all of your cookbooks (including the one in the video)! I would love him to try making this! ❤❤❤
That is awesome! I hope he does!
Absolutely LOVE your videos Miyoko! I've been vegan for 13 years and am still excited by the possibilities of vegan food. I love your vibe. :)
Wow, this is the most delicious tofu recipe I’ve seen in years!
My mouth is literally watering! Everything looks so delicious. I will definitely be making this dish. Thank you Miyoko for creating another fabulous recipe that's easy, healthy and mouthwatering!
You are not alone, we are all here with you and cheering you on!❤
Excellent video! I am starving now! 😊
This looks like a great recipe! I love your recipes because they are so do-able.
Thanks so much for that recipe! Im going to use that marinade in a "potjie" which is a stew cooked in a cast iron pot over the fire with some oyster mushrooms and veg! Ill defs try the tofu next.
Looks delish!! Definitely going to give it a try..😊
I just love your recipes. Thank you so much. I have been cooking just for myself since February. Still trying to adjust. I definitely want to try this one.
Yes, it's a challenge to go from more than one to one. So please surround yourself with friends and cook for each other and together!
You are the best! Cooking for myself and I love it ❤
Thanks, Miyoko!

Oh man 🤤That looks sooooo good!!!!!!!
Love you Miyoko!!!
Simple, flavorful, and gorgeous! Also, wishing I could make it out to your dreamy cooking class
I am enjoying your presentation and shall definitely try tofu "a la Miyoko".
looks yummy!
I am glad youtube recommended this. You are not alone😊. You have us your viewers. Wow what a master piece! I am going plant base this will be going on my list. I love your energy and personality. I am subscribing. Greetings from Toronto Canada.
Looks delish🎉🎉🎉
This looks amazing, I'm gonna make it
If anyone is interested in cooking in Naples with me, here is the link: www.tiernotours.com/vegan-cooking-school-with-miyoko-schinner.html
Fascinating. I will try this. I too cook for one. Plus, my cat. Thank you.
Awesome!!!!
I freeze and thaw my tofu to help it suck up the marinade;)
Just ordered your New Now and Zen cookbook!
I love Al, your recipes! Y thank you for teaching us how to cook plant based meals, and simple but great tasting! I don’t drink wine so what can I substitute for it in the marinade please?
The alcohol boils off in cooking, if that's what your concern is.
I’m on the same boat, sans animals. Thanks for sharing your recipe and lifestyle strategies.
You are so welcome!
Hi, your recipes are delicious! I'm wondering what brand and model is your oven. Do you like it? Would you recommend it?
Is that Miso you add to the marinade? Thank you so much. I can't wait to try.
Miyoko, this would be my dream trip! I won't be able to afford it this year but if I start now I could save enough for next. Will you be going again next year?
Yes, my hope is to host it every year but in a different spot.
Italy is my favorite place, but I would LOVE to join you where ever you go!
❤❤❤
🌟
Thanks for the recipe. What kind of tofu did you use? Thanks.
I’m not a wine drinker. What kind of wine should I look for or is there a substitute for the wine?-thanks
Miyoko - you are a creative, skilled and talented Chef. Love your recipes yet feel best to be oil free. Would you PLEASE consider writing a cookbook or recording some videos oil free & sugar free??? It would be a best seller for those of us on a WFPB diet.😊
You can substitute vegetable broth. Also, there are some great non-alcoholic wines out there now. I myself drink a non-alcoholic beer all the time!
@@thevegangoodlifewithmiyoko Miyoko, will check that idea out. Would it roughly be same measurement as sub? Or see what texture looks like after adding? Thank you so much for answering.
Microwaving the tofu is a great way to remove the water from it, I do it on paper towels
The one issue I have is this: if the tofu and mushrooms/greens are done and then you cook the grains, aren't the tofu and veges stone cold by the time the grains are cooked?

Also as for red wine, dry or sweet?
CAN I MAKE THIS WITHOUT OIL? It looks so 😋 yummy.
Yes!
@@MiyokoSchinner thank you so much. I’m going to try and let you know.
I cook for one essentially. The wife has regressed in her finickyness. I have to cook for her separately like when my adult children were 5 and 9. Looks great. Will follow your Italian cooking classes.
Hopefully your wife will start to enjoy your cooking -- don't lose hope!
Who has left over wine?
😂
lol
I’ve never bought tofu like that, but is it “extra firm” style?
It is the extra firm, but I've made it with medium as well (which is what they have in Japan typically).
SDB that cousgoose.
Oxymoron
Lovely!
