Does TOFU Make the best Chicken Sandwich?

I just made a wildly good Steak and Cheese, but the steak was tofu and it was SOOO good!!! I also made a BBQ Sandwich from tofu.. SO I wanted to use that technique to make a friend chicken sandwich... and I nailed it!!

If you tried the tofu steak, and the Plant based BBQ sandwich... then you are going to want to try this tofu chicken sandwich!

after a while watching vegan youtubers can get repetitive because everyone usually has similar tricks and tips, but you without fail always teach me something brand new in your videos. you’re awesome sauce stache!!

You might try adding Poultry Seasoning to the tofu to help it taste like chicken. Also the Better Than Bouillon product "No Chicken Base" really adds a lovely chicken flavor to tofu and other plant-based chicken replacements and it's vegan! Thank you for the great recipe idea! Crispy tofu chicken sounds awesome!

I love how you tore the tofu in half! My partner is an amazing tofu cook and has been tearing it into chunks rather than cutting it into cubes for years. The extra surface area gives it a nice almost crunchy texture on the outside, and I think it absorbs flavours better too!

I season my tofu just as I would real chicken and let it marinate over night

CKD prevents me from using salt but there are great sodim/potassium free seasonings that add that zing that was missing. Soaking the tofu in apple cider vinegar for a couple hours before dehydrating gives it a great flavor and texture as well.

The recipe seems absolutely awesome. And honestly, ever since I tried tearing tofu for the first time there is no ging back for me - the texture is just SO MUCH better than when sliced/cubed! Also, you'd probably have to play with salt-infusion of the tofu prior to drying but it would really take this sandwich to an extreme in terms of time commitment :D
.
Anyways, have a wonderful end of the week!

I squeeze out all the liquid from the tofu between two plates, then put the marinade in a container, put the tofu in and squeeze again, kinda like soaking up liquid with a sponge. This gets the flavour right into the centre of the tofu.

Bake Sale Betty’s in Oakland CA made a breaded tofu sando like this it was absolutely dominating the flavor game. Thanks for sharing! This is on par w the cheesesteak tofu technique 🎉

Honestly, my favorite cooking channel on youtube for the past two years / whenever I discovered y’all. Science > Comedy when it comes to cooking. A great base for future generations of businesses and cooks this channel is. Having/ Making it be known to the community that it isn’t that much harder to please the vegan community. It all just seems like a fun science experiment for a kitchen. You make me miss going to chemistry labs. Thank you so much. Please keep up the good work.

Cornbread Cafe Eugene, Oregon been doing this for years and was on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives making their Eugenewich with a Southern fried tofu patty, vegan cheddar, haystack onions, lettuce, tomato, and smoky sauce on a grilled brioche bun.

I really appreciate when you make recipes like this that I can make gluten free easily enough. This just helps me decide what dinner will be tomorrow.

Love ya! Love the book! I never miss an episode. Watching this and thinking.... WHAT IF, you marinate the tofu in non chicken bouillon and make a Nashville Hot? Same steps as you did but just add in?

[freundinano]

I don't know how I managed not to see any of your videos !!! Your channel is fabulous !!

Can’t wait to make a 3 hour tofu chickn sandwich 😂🎉

I did exactly this last week, and can confirm that it makes an AMAZING chicken sandwich! (Do you have hidden cameras in my kitchen???) I did season my flour heavily with cajun seasoning which really kicks it up a notch. I think next time, I'm going to soak the tofu planks in some chick-un broth before I dehydrate them.

The best way I have found is to freeze and thaw your tofu, then press it, then marinade it in a "chicken" broth. It turns the tofu into a juicy flavorful meat.

[trizhaay]

Looks great! I often fry up twice frozen tofu and slicing it changes the "look." Tearing it apart is a great idea.

My Heritage is a platform my fam used ago when it was much smaller than today but knowing a lot about our roots (down to 1300s) from the documents and pedigree collected by my grandfather (he was obsessed with our fam's history) we left the platform. Having said that, I think it is a spectacular tool for everyone who wants to learn more about their ancestors! I am rambling - just wanted to say it is an awesome sponsor and I am glad you got to work with them!

[Mystro]

Honestly I find an easy method is to press a block, then marinate in 2x concentrated chicken style broth (twice the powder), after a few hours, tear, bread, and fry.

[Jillybean]

Definitely gotta try this one. Looks pretty easy too.
