Tasty Buffalo Tofu For Game Day Eats

Any opportunity to incorporate Buffalo sauce is an opportunity worth taking! In this video we show you a tried and true cast iron pan frying method to crisp up the sides of the tofu before tossing it in a classic Buffalo-style hot sauce. This is a great vegan recipe to make as an appetizer alone, but we also show you how to punch it up into a full meal by adding brown rice, roasted broccolini and green beans.

Keep cooking, you got this!

catching up on your older videos. I totally understand the aesthetics of food. For myself, I have decided that cooking supper is my daily art practice. I get to enjoy "painting" images with food in pans, eat something wonderful and I don't have to find a place to display the "objets d'art" after, as they are safely and tastily in my stomach.

I need someone to look at me the way Derek looks at his plated meals. Haha Ok but seriously, thank you for giving us so many meal ideas! And you break it down and make simple, easy to make meals accessible. You spice that with LOVE, man. Noted and appreciated <3

I’ve riffed on a few of your recipe videos. They’re amazing. It’s so nice to see a proper Chef cooking plant food with tried techniques and know-how. I watch so many vegan recipes videos with iffy procedures that go against all of my training as a cook.

[matiasginestet]

i've been watching alot of these videos in the last year and never comment on it.
I love what you, Sarno brothers, do!
Thanks for all the recipes!

[sebytro]

Gotta love your channel, like your recipes and most importantly, I adore your mentioning of being vegan. You're wholeheartedly awesome, Derek! Much love.

Thank you so much for all these great, simple recipes. You make this way of eating so accessible. And you are so casual and chill. I love the kitten-washing-its-paws video when you go to wash your hands, the small cat figurines on the shelf behind you and the Buddha by the oven. You are inspiring!

I've been anti marriage pretty much my entire life. I will definitely make an exception for you. I love watching you cook. What a great way to make tofu. I love buffalo style everything. Thank you so much for this recipe! And stay compassionate 🐖🐄🐐🦃🐤

I cook for myself and make enough for my neighbor… getting her into plant base… she loves my cooking. I tell her after no meat… lol

[feliciacrosby]

You’ve done it again Chef Derrick! I’m just so amazed at how you make every dish looks so scrumptious. Keep it coming and yes, I’m going to make the buffalo tofu, mashed potatoes, and string beans Saturday. Chefs kiss 😘

That sauce is so clever. How have I never thought about whisking my sauce with butter!

[SunnySouthernCA]

Ooohhhh, looks delicious. Love you guys!!

[KingTrimity]

Definitely going to try this very soon!!! Thank you!!

[hollyhurst]

I love your tofu videos! Finding vegan recipes I can cook in China can be challenging, but your tofu dishes are easy to replicate here.

Made this last night and it was a hit! I had everything needed to make it from the broccolini to the green beans and brown rice only took 20 minutes in the rice cooker! Thanks again Derek!

[jeanneamato]

I love your artistic oven boards. Colorful and elegant

[Girlskate]

Your veggies always look yummy on a baking pan wow 😋

[nickmandilas]

This is a great recipe. So far I've done a Teriyaki sauce version when I seasoned the cubes with Furikake. And I've also done a version with Szechuan seasoning and Char Siu sauce. My family loves it. Thanks so much.

[jaynesixx]

Fantastic recipe as always and thank you also for being vegan and all for all the products and recipe book and your brother made.
