If you press your tofu then soak overnight in vegan chicken flavor bullion, then drain, or sprinkle on vegan chicken flavour bullion granuales you get a much better flavor. It works great too with vegan beef flavor bullion. Taste for salt before adding more because the bullion contains salt.

Nice video, but quite long though just to express:
1. Break tofu into pieces.
2. Medium heat, add salt, pepper, garlic powder.
3. Stir fry vegetables, add sauce.

Everyone is complaining about her chewing.. honestly I thought it was good that she did that because last time I tried tofu it was disgusting and very VERY squishy & soggy 🤢 hearing how crispy hers was made me believe it MUST REALLY TASTE HOW SHES SAYING IT DOES! Great video, can’t wait to try it!

If you freeze the tofu a few days before you make this, will give a more meaty texture and not spongy

I made this with cajun seasoning - now its one of my staple dishes! thank you <3 (add a splash of light soy sauce/tamari while cooking, let it bubble and stir it into the tofu - do it a couple of times to give the tofu an umami flavour!)

I could not resist trying out this recipe. I made it yesterday, not just the tofu but the whole recipe! It was fabulous! My husband and I ate all of it in one sitting, and he doesn't even like tofu. Thank you for sharing!

Freezing twice makes the tofu form a better meaty dish. So freeze, thaw in the counter then freeze again and thaw on the counter. Then press dry, get all liquid out that you can, this method is the go to for a more meaty chicken 😁

I tried this and let me tell you ITS SOOO GOOD. My brother who isn't vegan loves it!!! I put it in salads, fried rice, pasta, with 🍟 .

I love Tofu, soybeans, soybean drinks, etc. I cook with a lot of Tofu and a necessary ingredient in Pad Thai. I buy soybeans at the Asian market, soak it for a day or 2 and make soy milk. The machines are inexpensive nowadays, and you can buy it on Amazon.

I also cook my dog food (you'll be surprised how it inexpensive it is vs. store bought dog food, wet or dry) and they eat soybeans. When I make soy milk, the leftover soybeans are combined with ground beef for their fibers along with any vegetables in the fridge. I pulverized everything in the Ninja blender and cooked it. I do add oatmeal to thicken the dog food and serve!

I seal them up in ziplock bags for the freezer, and they are fed daily thawed. How long does it take me? 2-3 hours every 3 weeks. Never had any problems and they have been on it for a few years. No doggy breath and my vet are happy that they are healthy with great coat, teeth, and skin.

I made this exactly as you did and it was amazing! I'm a whole foods vegan so I have eaten and made dishes with tofu for quite some time, but this is by far the best tofu I've ever made. You are so right, the key is patience...I kept cooking it on low for 35 minutes. Thank you so much for this.

Freeze the tofu. When you’re ready to cook it, let it thaw, drain the water off of it, pat as dry as you can. Then cook it like you normally do. Freezing the tofu gives it a more chewy texture.

For people who are foodies, you’ll get this description of mine. The tofu after cooking this recipe takes on a thick texture like Japanese あぶらげ aburage. So it does take on the texture of tender chicken pieces. The video is very thorough and helps a lot of people who don’t cook very often. Great video very informative

I'm glad you showed how to cook the tofu to make it look like chicken. I'm going to try to make it. It looks real good. Thank you for showing us❤️

Saw this video today and made it for dinner just now. (No oils though). This recipe is awesome!!! I see what you mean by just eating out of the pan...which is what we did. No sauce needed. I'm thinking it will be a new go-to for any meal or snack! Thanks for sharing Jenn!!!

Girl, I had to come back anf tell you how well yhis works and I have used it in a recipe that was so yummy, I had to do a repeat. Thank youuuu!!!

[sucathwa]

This recipe has changed my life! No more litte squares sauteed both sides and bland as! I cook tofu this way now for everything and sometimes I add smoked paprika in your basic seasoning. Many thanks.

[cassandrachellaswamy]

So glad I found this recipe! I’ve never been able to make tofu edible lol but thanks to you my entire family liked it :)

[ChristaJClark]

Tried your recipe for dinner tonight and my husband and I both really liked it, we put it in a Buddha Bowl, yummy! Thank you!

It looks completely brilliant! I have been vegan for 2 years and have done a lot with tofu. I want to stop eating fake meat unless I make it myself. This is really a great template for so many uses! Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully executed!! I’ve been a chef and lacto vegetarian ( no eggs) for many decades- I learnt something new here- thank you 🙏🏽
