I highly approve of this systematic tofu testing

[Smashboy]

It’s hilarious to see the oven version come out exactly how my parents used to bake their “fried chicken.” I’ll probably do the oven style just for nostalgia

Your reaction to the shallow fried was golden! Shallow frying is usually my method of choice just to reduce the oil use and mess. That marinade is TOP TIER btw, I was so impressed with the grilled fillets and will definitely be making it regularly!

The best tofu I’ve had is deep fried thin tofu using Cajun fish fry flour mix. As a non-vegan that does a lot of vegan cooking for my vegan family I couldn’t tell the difference

I add some oil to the wet mixture instead of spraying it on. Air frying will sweat it out and crisp it up.

[Eclyptical]

When I make falafel I make them as flat patties instead of round balls so that I can get away with shallow frying them to use less oil!

[MelanieOh]

Thanks for showing how viable shallow frying can be! It very much reminds me of how my mom used to make chicken cutlets, but veganized, and frankly faster and cheaper. I think I'll be shallow frying some tofu this weekend.

That is crazy how realistic it looks. I’ve tried his nugget recipe and it was fire but lacking chicken flavour. Will def try this and I’ll edit this and say how it is (not that I doubt you dude)

Sincerely thank you so much for your videos. They bring me so much joy so please don't stop 🤣

Your happy response after eating the shallow fry was worth the watch. My mom only shallow fried so that's the only thing I do as well

[buddlebj]

Thank you for taking one for the team! I'm so grateful that you already went down the "how to reduce oil usage, and mess" road for us all. My instincts all agreed with what your results ended up. I'm in! Can't wait to replicate.

The Super Mario laugh after trying the shallow frying made me laugh out loud! Thanks for doing all these tests and finding a happy medium! -Cody

I like tofu when it’s seasoned, really good, shredded, tofu scrambled, etc. but just to eat tofu by itself I’m not a fan of the soy taste, but cooking it this way by making the cutlets first and then deep frying. Looks like something I’m going to love. thank you for the recipe. I’m gonna have to try this.

[eladguitar]

Yeah the shallow fry is exactly how moms make Schnitzel in my home country and it's something every kid grows up on.
They actually still use less oil than you, Americans sure love their oil 😅

One thing that might help your panko air fried tofu is pre-toasting the panko. I do this by mixing a little oil into the panko in a bowl and microwaving it for 5-15 second bursts, stirring between each burst until it is light golden brown. Careful not to go too far with this step though or else it’ll burn in the air fryer.

I stumbled on your channel after seeing one of your Shorts. I'm no vegetarian or vegan myself, but I love seeing how people come up with good (and tasty) alternatives. Consider me a new subscriber ^^

[michelesoto]

Ooh, can't wait to make these!! Maybe tomorrow's lunch!! Yum!! Deep fried!

[MyFlipperLikesIce]

When I use panko to airfry, I mix it with some oil first, so it's more evenly coated

[Nyannycake]

Really in depth, I'll stick to deep fry + shallow pan frying. 😊 Great video as always

For all who don't want MSG, FakeMeats seasoning has "yeast extract" which is another way to say MSG. Having said that, I *completely* appreciate Thee Burger Dude for his happy, warm demeanor and excellent recipes. Thanks Dude!
