For the tofu bacon, try using a wire cheese slicer. It makes the slices thin and uniform.

The tofu musubi was SO GOOD! And I really want to try that mousse! I tried to make choc mousse with aquafaba once and it was kinda a fail 😂 but the texture of yours looks perfect.

We made it and it's so delicious! My husband, who is NOT a tofu-eater, lol, loved it and even made it himself once when he was craving it.

I been addicted to tofu puffs tossed in buffalo sauce, sprinkle with everything bagel seasonings and cooked in the air fryer. Silken tofu is good for tofu scramble too. You freeze it 1st and then squeeze out the liquid and add to a pan with little cashew cream or plant base milk and other seasonings.

Hi guys🙋🏻I just found your channel and am so excited👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I like tofu so much but my husband won’t have anything to do with it so I thought “fine you eat what you want I’m tired of eating food that degrades my health anymore then it already is🤣🤣🤣I’m a 77 year old woman and I was a vegetarian in the 70’s and 80’s got divorced and my two girls went vegetarian. Then years later I met my present husband and after two years slowly went back to eating animals😡!! So here you are and I’m ready to go back to eating a healthier foods.

one of my favorite super lazy recipes with tofu is to use silken tofu, slice it up, cover with soy sauce and sesame oil to taste and eat with rice and/or veggies. got it from cheaplazyvegan and it's soo good when I'm craving tofu but don't feel like cooking or just want to eat it cold.

@aprildriesslein5034 Жыл бұрын

Silken tofu is also great for smoothies. I don't like the way banana will take over the flavor, and I don't like to use dairy. The tofu adds thst nice creaminess and lets the fruit flavor shine through.

When I went vegan 3 years ago, I ate all the same things only veganised, with everything available today that's super easy. I now moved on and have many different things that I'd never tried before that I eat regularly, becoming vegan actually broadened my food horizons 😁😋. Finding which vegan milks you like and what works best in tea, coffee, over cereal etc is the challenge 😁😃.

Everything looks amazing, would love to try🥹🌱sadly here in Europe there is not such a big variety in tofu🥺 only one I can get is firm and the prices are rising🥲 there is no asian store near me and I can only find silken tofu there🫠 but I guess you can also make all the recipes with „normal“ tofu, but of course the texture will be different🥺

@smily1110 Жыл бұрын

If you stack heavy objects ontop of the tofu. It will fall off! I found the best way to press the tofu is to get 2 matching plastic containers. Put the tofu in the bottom container. Fill the 2nd container with water and put the lid on it and place it on top of the tofu. Obviously, don't put the lid on the container holding the tofu.

When you freeze and thaw the medium-firm tofu, I noticed you leave it in the original packaging. After thawing the first time, do you just refreeze again in the same package? Or take it out and remove the water first before freezing again?

By the way, regarding the joke about "no man boobs", it is a common misconception because soy has phytoestrogens. However, this is biochemically different than human estrogen and does not have the same effects because there are different receptors in the body for the different kinds of estrogen. In fact soy estrogen is protective against breast cancer. Richard Norris, M.D
