DELICIOUS plant based recipes that you can make using an AIR FRYER thanks to my guest Ali, from @plantwhys! Join me to not …
Ooooooh, thank you thank you thank you thank you for this video!!! When I was in college, the cafeteria did some really nice tofu recipes (well, at least I liked them), and I've tried to cook tofu on and off ever since, generally with disappointing results. When I bought my air fryer, I just knew there had to be a way to use it to cook tofu, and you and Ali just showed me how. I can hardly wait to give these recipes a try!
I only have one question: All the recipes I've ever seen for tofu call for extra firm tofu. What are firm, regular and silken tofu used for?
Inspired to try cooking with tofu in my new air fryer. Thank you!
Crumbling up the tofu is a genius tip.
Cathy as always you rock it out! I’m definitely going to try this !! I’ve never done tofu but I’m not a real meat eater ( dad was a butcher ) back in the day) pre supermarkets. Ewe he made us kids wrap the meat he brought home).
OMGosh yes-same! Tried it so many ways but couldn't do it- will def try crumbling! Price is right for tofu as well! Thanks!
Excellent video! Tofu is good when you use it correctly, I'm so glad you tried it again.
Oh Wow! This was excellent! I've been eating plant based for 6 years now. Enjoying all the health benefits from eating this way. It has cleared up some of my health issues.
Thank you Cathy and Ali for doing this video and for the delicious, easy recipes.
Hope you will continue to make some more plant based videos from time to time.
Thank you so much!🙏
I made the crispy chickpeas for my salad today and I loved them! And I am a big crouton girl and these won me over so delicious! Got my tofu and ready to try the sushi. I used to make crispy tofu years ago and this reminded me to try again! Thanks for a great video
As usual, you nailed for me! I love veggies and nori but have not “cooked” with tofu or chickpeas so this will get me started…love cooking anything in my Cosori…and needless to say, you are an excellent teacher!
Oh please don't start using tofu instead of meat 😢
There are so many studies now that are coming to the conclusion that tofu mimics estrogen as all soy products do. It is super bad for our sons and daughters. Adolescent girls and boys and menopausal women are having so many health problems because of all the soy consumption. I'm curious to see if they will find that it's affecting men's prostates too. Main stream so called experts don't tell us this.
GRASS FED, GRASS FINISHED MEATS ARE THE ANSWER!
This has definitely made me want to experiment with tofu!! Never tried it but can't wait ❤ thank you, from Scotland x
so nice video. The nori sheets have lines, wich YOU lay exact place. Ali make it wrong 🙂. And its easier to roll it from you away so you have more control with your fingertops. Nice inspirations, and i hope you made more plant based foods. Vegan greatings from a german in northsweden.
Thanks for making this can't wait to show my catering teachers, so far we haven't made and Vegetarian meals and now that I recently acquired an Air Fryer I cant wait to try these recipes.
Hello love the show but I don't no if you like but whit the chickpea you could put some paprika it's great. And a used also Broad Bean- favas em português- I don't no if is the right name over there but it's also Great. TKS for the teaching of tofu i will experiment😊
For rolling the sushi, you should use a bamboo mat. Makes it much easier. Take it from this Oriental lady who has made sushi all her life! I'm going to try that tempeh recipe; I usually fry mine but I excited to try this much healthier recipe! 😋
Not eating tofu
I love you are experimenting with less prepackaged food, I personally limit soy for medical reasons. I hate the negative comments because you gave a good base recipe and hey people this is good. Work it out with ingredients you can eat or tolerate!
That looked very tasty.
Hi , I love your videos, you have several air fryers, which one is really your favorite please ? Thank you 🙏🏼
Love this video I use tofo all the time thank you for the new ideas can’t wait wait to try
Tofu is garbage for millions of people
Absolutely loved this video, so fun to watch and I will be trying all these recipes. I actually always loved tofu, no issues with it whatsoever haha and I eat plant based about 80% of the time, so some new recipes are always welcome. Will be subbing to Ali's channel as well, it looks awesome!
Awesome video
Great video! We make air fried tofu a lot, and I am an avowed carnivore. It is a nice break from meat and still provides us with tons of protein, but from a plant source instead of a meat source. Cathy, I hope you make this again and show us what your kids think of it.
This is great! Thanks! I love all the ingredients, have tried to cook tofu but always failed. I’m so looking forward to doing these. I’m not going for weight loss, rather the healthy benefits of the ingredients. Signed up for Ally’s site. Thanks again.
I can’t stand soy sauce. I can’t eat anything that contains soy sauce. Also, pure maple syrup is ridiculously (prohibitively) expensive!!! Sadly it just seemed like many of these recipes would be really expensive, but admittedly, I have no clue what the cost of many of those ingredients are.
Great video. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the share as I can't eat spice or a lot of salt for medical reasons it is sad that most plant based food dishes depend 0n these ingredients 😅
Can you freeze tofu? Plus respond. ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤😂❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Cathy!!! I enjoyed this video today.I always get Tofu at the Chinese Buffet… I liked all these recipes and will give them a try one day. Thanks for this my dear friend…Great Video!!!…🦋
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Eat less protein.. are you nuts! Please crack a book .. We should be eating more protein and way way less carbs! FULL STOP PERIOD!
👍 thanks again!! 🙂
Yeah ya'll lost me at "..helping women over 40 lose weight by eating less protein.." nope 👎
All the recipes look fantastic. Great to see some different meat free ideas for the air fryer. Like that the air fryer is not the main star but a supporting time saving character.
Do you drain/squeeze the water from tofu first?
Ok I weighed 260 pounds in 2016. I'm 5'5. I hate salads and that's what all dietitians say you can eat the most! Watching tv back in January of 2016 with all those diet programs advertising food I didn't like. It hit me! I made a list of all the foods I like that are good for me and ate those. It worked! I'm now 166. Went from a size 50 to size 34. Went from 3xl to xl. My blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar are all normal. I have kept it off for 4 years now. For the record I do like vegetables just not salads lol
The flip side of tofu. Many many people are allergic to soy. Also, too much soy in your diet has been proven to be really bad for you, especially men. Food for thought.
Yup, still gross!
My favorite tofu recipe is cherry bbq tofu. For that recipe I use extra firm tofu drained and pressed to get as much water out as possible. BBQ seasoning bbq sauce (jack teagues made a sauce is the best lol) frozen cherries (with a little water in a bowl to thaw the cherries). Cut tofu into cubes and season heavily with bbq seasoning. Pop in air fryer 350 for 10-15 minutes shaking to get it crisp all over. While it cooks mix the thawed cherries and bbq sauce together taste and add sugar if needed. When tofu is done remove and add to sauce. Stir to thoroughly coat and serve. Sometimes if I’m craving crunch I’ll add some pecans to it. Super yummy!
What seasonings did you put on the chickpeas before you roasted them for the coconut curry?
Did you squeeze out the water from the tofu first?
I’m guessing you drained the water from the tofu and pressed it? Also, I’m guessing you punctured your sweet potato before microwaving so it doesn’t explode.
Cathy! You are seriously even more delightsome in person. It was SO fun to do this video with you!
Have you ever made anything like this in the air fryer? If so – what was it? If not – which one do you think you'll try first?
