Budget vegan family meal idea - Tofu fishless fingers & crispy kale. #veganmealideas #tofu #kale

Today I'm cooking my favourite fishless fingers and crispy kale, so I thought you may like to follow along.

It took my husband a very long time to even try tofu as 'everyone knows it tastes like s*** he said. I'm inclined to agree that restaurants have no idea how or the slightest motivation to produce tasty tofu dishes. When I visited Taiwan about 15 years ago, I realised what I'd been missing out on. Each day the locals would cycle to collect their fresh tofu and soya milk. It was simply delicious and that's why I make my own milk at home to enjoy this protein packed plant milk without all the additives and preservatives.

Tofu tastes of absolutely nothing, a lot like chicken. It will take on the flavour of any spices added to it which makes it a very versatile ingredient. The beans are cheap and if you subscribe to my channel you will be able to see all the amazing ways to use this cheeky little bean.

I get lots of comments from people telling me that vegan food is expensive, and this always puzzles me. The block of tofu I'm using in this meal is just over $2/€2, which I think is cheap as a protein source for a family meal. I served it with crispy kale, steamed broccoli, stir fried veg (carrots, green beans, onion and sweet red pepper).

I could talk about tofu all day, stay tuned for more recipes and chitchat. Thanks for stopping by, have a beautiful day.

You are an inspiration!! At 73, I am learning to finally take care of ME.! Had children in my late 30's. So, family came first. You sparked something in me. Thank you!@

It's all your fault! Now I've (finally) gone and bought an air fryer because I have to try crunching some of our garden greens. I enjoy your channel and your transformation.
I'll be 81 in August. Always enjoy learning new things.
Happy Jumping,

Delicious! I can't get seaweed infused tofu so I'm thinking about adding a crunched up nori sheet to the flour coating for the seaweed flavour.

❤ I love freezing my tofu first to get that "meaty" texture. I love the corn flakes idea, thanks!

[meganleigh]

I am so in love with your channel! A breath of fresh air and as plant based people we are loving your eating ideas (and I love all your fashion and health stuff too)! Cheers!

Hi, I found your short videos a few weeks ago and have to say you're an inspiration. I am 59, I am getting back into the gym after having a replacement right hip Nov 2021, I'm now starting to get the same pain on the left hip. I gave up alcohol NYE 2023 and also gave up meat 6th Feb this year.
I quite like the idea of intermittent fasting, so might give it a go. I did a 72 hour water fast in 2022 which was great. Xx

I just found your channel from Kate Singh's channel. I'm 56 and interested in becoming plant based. I was worried about eating soy though. I was under the impression that women our age shouldn't do soy but your fishless sticks make me want to try it. 😋. I've subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to checking out your videos. You've inspired me to figure out who I am now. Thank you. ❤😊

♥️ Here in Texas we love meat. However, I’m moving toward your thought of “plant based food” and I’m learning from you! I’m trying to slide over but have kept some chicken and fish so far. Keep the good recipes coming! So entertaining too! 😊

You know what frustrates me? When people say tofu tastes gross.
If anything tofu hardly has a taste, or is bland. Just trying to be more precise ;)❤️ I love what you're doing I love your videos and your beautiful warmth❤️😊

Opening my 5 hours feasting window with this video ….chips Kale will be on my menu ! Thank you …everything looks so good 😊

[elizat]

seriously you can only eat 3 pieces?? I love tofu so much, one day I ended up eating the whole damn block! Of course, I didn't coat it in breadcrumbs. You looking stunning with red lipstick - it compliments your blue eyes and hair color so well!!!

I'm quite new to your channel and found it very inspirational. Most of your recipes look very yummy. However, regarding soya and soya products like tofu I will make a pass. The reason is that all soya is genetically modified and I try as much as I can to avoid anything which is genetically tampered with. That's personal choice, but it doesn't effect how much I enjoy your channel. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Just found your recipe I need MORE TOFU RECIPES since I have so much tofu❤ I need more tofu recipe for me and my kids ❤ in Canada we just have plain tofu or smoked but none of the seaweed type. 😊
