I wanted to make a super juicy, meaty, textured piece of tofu that could be given the name A5 Tofu Wagyu... and I think I nailed it!!
This is a combination of tofu and seitan or wheat meat and WOW does it come out meaty!

So I know this one is a long process. I always enjoy it but I know a lot of people wish things were easier. Maybe some steps could be shortened, or omitted, but I think it all adds to the realism. What should I try next?

Why don’t you try it with the jack fruit? Since it has the fibers you may be able to accomplish the actual look of the steak. I tried the jack fruit - not the pulp but the fiber part to make pulled chicken and it came out pretty good 😊

The main reason I watch this channel is to see how creative this guy is. Many of his foods actually look like real meat, and make me want to experiment with it myself, even though I’m not vegetarian. This looks promising, especially considering I cannot eat beef.
I cook steaks all the time for myself and my family but my older sister has never had the chance to eat one of my steaks because she’s vegan so I’m definitely going to add this to my liked videos and surprise her with this one day

I did something somewhat similar by layering gluten powder between tofu skins and scrunching them up before boiling away vegan chicken broth. It was very meat like. It broke up the caked texture seytan can have.

Do you have any recipes using frozen tofu. I saw a couple recipes on the web if you freeze the tofu first the texture comes out meaty like.
