Finally a how to video on KZread that gets straight to the point with no waffle and clear instructions. Well done and thanks!
I cannot thank you enough for the no nonsense, straightforward education you just handed me. For REAL. I wish you could teach everyone how to make videos.
Actually made tofu for the first time today using this recipe. Didn't have chili paste, so I used crushed red peppers instead. Used peanut butter for my nut butter. Was a nice spicy sauce, very delicious!

thanks for the tip im going to use the same thing all i have.
for crispy tofu cubes: cut slices press between kitch towels cut cubes and put in a bowl flavour however you want add oil to the bowl to coat the cubes add starch and stir until every cube has a thin layer of oil/starch batter fry with a little bit of oil until super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside The result is crispier and not as dried out as the crispy versions shown in the video.

Secret top tip : freeze your pressed dofu for a day or two before use - it becomes a little less soft still, and porous (like a sponge) to soak up your sauce : )

Small does not mean ¨as little as you possibly can¨. when talking about liquids, small is certainly more than just a drop, or a squirt, or a tablespoon, or a dazzle, or a splash. Theres a difference between minuscule, tiny, and small. A tiny cup and a small cup are different.

Best video I’ve seen on the different ways too cook tofu. Thank you so much! I feel like I’ve never known how to cook tofu properly until now. Definitely going to try that sauce you use too!
I'm so excited! I've had so many fails with Tofu but I can tell by your TONE you know what you're doing.

I'm quite late but if you see this, I'm forever grateful. Those recipes are easy and look delicious. I've sadly been avoiding tofu but I'm now brave enough thanks to you !
Finally an amazing video showing great ideas for those as myself who does not know what to do with tofu. Thank you

This is the most helpful video I have been able to find. Explains it very clearly and all are quick easy methods. Was watching another one where she said to freeze the tofu for 6 hours but I do not have that time in my day.

love the scrambled tofu recipe so much. crumbling the tofu increases the surface area for the sauce so the tofu tastes so delicious. I added some sugar to the sauce and it really tied everything together for me. I've struggled to make tofu appealing to my palate for years but this helped SO much, thank you!

Thank you! This is was such a great and approachable video to tofu.
Ive tried this, it was really tasty, tofu almost tasted like chicken! But i didnt see the full recipe link so i just put the sauce ingredients without looking at it, it was extremely salty, but still yummy 😂 but i will definitely try it again with the exact measurements! 🥰
I was happy to learn a few years ago after pressing tofu for 3o years that simmering it in water that covers it for 15 minutes does the same thing! Whew- what a great hack.
Thank you! Having tofu today for the first time and I'm excited to try it out

Sautéed and salted is my favourite.
Cooked tofu for the 1st time today. (Fried, with a little cornstarch coating). The idea of it is so much more intimidating than the reality. And I don't cook at all. So don't be afraid... You can do it.
Pinch of yum I enjoyed your video and great job with the tofu. Please have a blessed day.
Love this! Definitely going to try this weekend! 😊
I love tofu, but I've never tried to make it as I don't know which to use, silken, soft, hard etc. Thanks for letting me know which to use, your recipes look great.

I started the "plant based diet" about 4 weeks ago, and I'm really missing the "meat", but I'm determined to hang in there because the vegan way of eating is "very, very healthy". I bought some Tofu, but I don't have a clue of how to prepare it, so I'm looking for simple recipes on KZread.
Wonderful! So happy to learn the various ways to cook tofu!😀💕
Thank you!! It looks delicious i can’t wait to try this :)
I would love to try this. I've cooked tofu and I just didn't like the texture. Maybe marinated it

Just an advice concerning the sauce: don’t put sesame oil in it because once it’s in the pan, it burns.

Marinating time depends on the size of the pieces to some degree, but it no doubt helps in both cases.

Brilliant!!!!! Thank you for demystifying tofu. I know I’ll love it because the sauce ingredients are strongly flavored. Can hardly wait to try! P.S. Didn’t know you had a KZread channel. Been foo for years on Pinterest. Thanks again.
