Inspired by your recipes, I've recently made grilled bbq tofu skewers for my fam and my gosh, it was GAME CHANGING! My mum liked it (she does not like tofu), my dad like it (a real meat-lover), my sister liked it (one of the most picky person I know) and finally, MY 94 YEARS OLD GRANDMA LOVED IT! You've literally persuaded my closes ones tofu can be tasty and I will love you for that to the moon and back

This recipe for bbq tofu, although different than the previous ones, seems to be real wicked! Lots of flavours, delicious charring on the tofu and onions and fantastic pairing with the lovely polenta! I will definitely have to try this recipe out as it is just amazingly crafted!

@DerekSarnoChef 4 жыл бұрын

Definitely try this one! It is a bit different in technique than some of the other ones on our channel, but anytime you can get that nice char from searing it in the pan first...then bake it or grill it...that's where the magic happens! Hope you enjoy!

Good idea.. I just don’t like bbq sauce so I’ll replace with tomato sauce, I’ve just put the tofu in the seasoned sauce and marinade till dinner tonight, probably going to make some polenta as well but like plain one... with some soy milk as well and a salad maybe... Amazing recipe anyway. Love the channel. Hope the subs nr is growing ❤️❤️

Looks delicious! I'm always looking for new ways to cook tofu. I've never had polenta before, I'm definitely going to have try that! For the polenta do I have to use vegan gouda or can I use any other kind of vegan cheese? As far as the barbecue sauce is that home made or store bought?

@bellisperennis42 4 жыл бұрын

The link to the BBQ-Sauce is in the videodesctiption, right at the to! :-) From my experience, you can use any vegan cheese - but chosing a nice flavourfull one like the smoked cheese mentioned is best!

@DerekSarnoChef 4 жыл бұрын

Just chiming in: the sauce in the video was store bought from a bottle, but as @bellisperennis42 mentioned, we do have a link to a homemade version if you want to give that a try! We always encourage people to just do what works for them-if you don’t have the time or ingredients, don’t feel bad about buying something from the store to get you to the finish line! And regarding the cheese, pretty much any flavor you want...it just adds some extra creaminess but isn’t necessary if you want to skip it. 👍

Also oops, the cornmeal I have is 'course ground', will that work or should I try to grind it a bit finer in my blendtec? Lol! Thank you! 😁

@melissacarroll6633 4 жыл бұрын

How do you get your tofu to hold together so well? I use extra firm tofu, but after pressing it, it still seems to hold a lot of water and crumbles a lot. You were able to maneuver it around a bunch before even cooking it, and it stayed together. Is it a brand thing, or the way you press it, or some other special technique? I am using organic tofu in the US.

@DerekSarnoChef 4 жыл бұрын

It’s honestly more of a brand thing as every company makes it differently. This was Hodo tofu, which you can get in the US, but I hear ya...some brands (even with the extra firm) are just more delicate than others and you have to handle them less until they firm up in the searing/baking process.
