Hi Foodies! Tofu often gets a bad rap for being dull and lifeless form of protein. Here's the method on how to make it look and taste like meat. You can prepare it ahead of time and use as meat substitute on your favorite dishes!

For those getting a spongy texture instead of the layered texture in the video, it might be because of the coagulant (listed on the ingredients) used in the tofu. I made this with firm tofu that used calcium sulfate and it was spongy. I made it again with another brand that used magnesium chloride (nigari) and it was the layered texture.

Hello, it is not the coagulant, is the type of tofu. There are “Silken tofu” and “Tofu”. In Silken the water is not extracted, and it is not pressed in the making process. It is like a yellow or custard. The “Tofu” is pressed, and the water is extracted in the making process. The raw materials are the same, just soy milk, but the steps to make them are different and this makes that the soy proteins fold in different shape and when you freeze and extract the water, this folding structure of the proteins is more evident. Silken are layered and just Tofu are spongy like. It is true that the coagulant is important and have benefits in the process of making the Silken tofu (because it is not easy to make it) but is not the most important detail. When Silken tofu is made, you start whit ambient temperature soy milk and you add the coagulant and you do not mix to hard, just 3 or 5 seconds, then you start to rice the temperature in a steamer. This process made that the proteins in the soy milk do not fold to much, they stay pretty much strait and kind of alone. Then when you freeze the Silken tofu, the water separates from the tofu leaving the strait proteins in a fiber flat shape. From there you just have to kept getting moisture out and that will increase the fiber type texture and make it firmer. In the other kind of tofu, you heat the milk first at 77 C and add the coagulant and mix berry hard for a minute or more. This “environment” is different and make the proteins in the soy milk to fold in a different structure, something like a “C” and bond together in groups leaving the water out. Then you let rest this mixture and when it is set, you put this mixture in a cheese cloth and press it to extract more liquid until you have a firm block of tofu. When you freeze this tofu you can separate the water but the structure that the proteins take when is made do no change to a fiber long laminated shape, they will stay in this sponge like structure in “C”. That is the reason to use Silken if you want to get the “fiber-chicken like texture”. The flavor is the same, they are made from the same milk but the proteins are fold in different way..

I've been obsessed with this recipe to the point that I would make this at least twice a week for the past month lol. I suggest you use the "silken" kind for the tofu because that's the kind that will give you the shredded texture. I also highly recommend eating these with soy garlic sauce (meant for Korean fried chicken) or spicy Korean fried chicken sauce.

@HealthyFoodiePH Жыл бұрын

Hi, you may freeze out the silken tofu first including the water if you find it too delicate to handle, the other day, do the thaw and press method :)

@@choppysocks hi, I used the firm/extra firm silken tofu that's usually packaged in a plastic container like the one in the video, not the one that's packaged in a plastic bag/pouch. If that's the kind of tofu that you mean, that's not the one I used. Usually the one that's in the plastic pouch is labeled as "soft" silken tofu and that's the one that usually just breaks apart upon opening. The soft one is good for other dishes like Korean tofu stew (sundubu jjigae) or just soups in general. Hope that helps!

Just one very important detail. The tofu has to be "silken" firm so that when it freezes it takes that texture. If it is just firm tofu, it will not take that texture, it will have a sponge-like structure and not layered.

@@artisticagi Hello, The thing is that for firm tofu you use nigari (magnesium chloride), this is the Chinese style and for soft tofu you use Gypsum (calcium sulfate) Japanese style tofu. The secret is also in the process to make them. In firm tofu you heat the milk and then add the nigari and stir vigorously and let the proteins coagulate forming an intricate net capturing water, it is a sponge like structure between the proteins and finally you press the tofu and let the water out of the tofu (not all the water, but a lot) . In soft tofu you add the Gypsum in the cold milk and the heated in steam, but you do not stir, so all the water kept in the tofu, like a gelatin. These make the protein structure more lose, laminated style. The magic comes when you freeze these two, the new arrangement of the proteins end up different when getting the water out. The chicken meat like structure is best obtained when is from soft tofu. You can make the test easy, just buy one soft and one firm and freeze them.

To all the meat eaters telling people to just eat chicken instead: some people CANNOT eat meat, and some people simply DON'T want to eat meat, not because they don't like the taste but bc of compassion. What other people eat doesn't affect your life. You can't complain about vegans shoving their beliefs down others' throats and then doing the fucking same.

I'd like to thank you for this technique. I have been now doing this with all of my sauces that I use and now I've had variety in my life again you are wonderful for teaching us this. I have done this with teriyaki sauce and made teriyaki bowls, bbq sauce. Last night I did this with a curry sauce I added a lil bit of olive oil in the sauce and some corn starch and I put it in the oven same time same temp and each time my food has come out amazing. I just want to thank you because now I have a very big variety of meals that I can cook and the pressing and freezing process took me a little time to perfect but, I'm so happy that I got it down now :). I do add one extra step to make sure all moister is gone I microwave the tofu for 30 sec. after the thawing press just to make sure it is completely less water but adds a little steam. Then i pat it dry. I love this you are the best you change my life and tofu is such a low cost meal during these times it has really been handy. I think I'm going to buy a few boxes of extra firm tofu press and freeze so I can have it on hand :) thank you again ☺

Thank you for this video. I can't wait to try this recipe. I am new to tofu but I learned (by accident) that freezing the tofu right in the package, thawing, then draining it really well, makes for the best texture & flavor. I made tofu burgers and they were so delicious. I found out later that although I was being lazy & inexperienced by freezing the tofu the way I did, I was actually improving the cooking texture. Who knew? I am now so much a fan of tofu. And I am not vegetarian or even that health-conscious but tofu is easy on the budget & the tastebuds.

My bestie had sent me her fav recipe for tofu and i learned different types of tofu make a huge difference so i get extra firm if i can but the more i buy it the more i learn. I tried this the other night and loved it even though i did not have the patience to press it again, it gave it a nice texture for me at least. I put thai chili sauce on top and it tasted like seasame chicken you get from the chinese restraunt. I was in love! Making it again tonight :)
