I'm excited to see more recipes 😋 thank you!
I am once again inspired to try to find the right medium firm tofu for vegan chicken! My kiddo is super picky about texture, so I gotta find one that gets that wildly chicken-like texture. Thank you for this great go-to guide! 😊
nice 😘😘💯💖💖💙
Your channel is up there with the best cooking content that is ever put out! This is so informative and so much more information then I'll ever need!
Thank you!
Oh my tofu, this is an exciting direction Mary!
One of my all time favorite foods, can’t wait for the recipes. Thanks
Loved this and it is very helpful. I try to meal prep blocks to build dishes over the week. Some different marinades, sauces or other type things to mix up on prep day would be nice.
this is so helpful! it also helps me understand why my extra firm tofu doesn't look the same as others. where I am (southern us) I've only ever seen the extra firm that comes in liquid, and it seems that's less common in other countries.
I've only ever used the fermented tofu in Liz Mius sticky garlic eggplant dish, excited to see other things to try it with!
Never made smoked tofu aww your cat wanted to join in your video thanks for clearing it about all different kinds of tofu there is
In addition to differences in firmness, there is also flavour differences in my experience. I made my own tofu for a short time from locally grown soy beans until I tried Fontaine Santé Tofu. This brand of tofu IMO is the very best Tofu available in the Canadian market. Better still, Costco stocks it in a 4 pack :-).
Why is the labeling so confusing??
Here in France I also find tofu labeled as “traditional” or “homemade” in my asian supermarket. I’d say it’s soft-medium ?
Thank you Mary! This is super helpful as we experiment with tofu more and more.
Such a great video, thank you! I've only ever really used extra firm tofu but now I want to go out and experiment more 🙂
what are your thoughts in double freezing medium/firm tofu?
Silken tofu deep fried is so good 😭 my fav restaurant makes lemongrass tofu with it… delicious
Great video!
At 2:40 when you say rice or noodle killer, are you referring to leftovers? Or something else
“There is no universal standard”
So what you’re saying is: “There ARE NO rules”
My god I feel like I am living in cave all this different tofu I am in the UK this is so enlightening.
i really appreciated this, Mary, though half the tofus (tofi?) I cannot get here, even in Asian stores, for some reason. I can't remember the last time I saw smoked tofu, for example, but it's been years. A new H Mart opened recently in the burbs here, so I'll pop in the next time I'm out that way and have a perusal of their tofu section. Thanks for posting!
Kudos for the guide! It is extremely helpful!😄
What do you mean by rice killer?😅😅
This was a great video. Love seeing you on camera. You look so relaxed! 🥰
Very informative and well explained Mary 😁 I was hoping that you would also talk about dry tofu sticks and sheets and how to use them in cooking? Sending you love from Melbourne Australia 🖤
Awesome explanation of all of those!
I'm hesitant to use any soy product, like tofu, that isn't organic because I'm under the impression that all non-organic soy is GMO and I don't want all the pesticides that go along with that. Do you know if this is true? Thank you.
yessss here for more fermented tofu recipes please, I make buddhas delight from time to time so I always have a jar of red fermented bean curd in my fridge, but never make anything else with it, would be happy to try out some other recipes.
Thank you!!!! Loved this video! And loved seeing your beautiful face and cute cat!
informative!!🌼🌷
Thank you for this video!
could you make tofu deserts or sweet breakfeast tofu items in one of your episodes? I have a sweet tooth but think this could be a good way to at least have more protein in them.
This has been very informative. Smoked tofu is so good but yes, it's been pricier. Last I saw, it was $3.99 in my local store. I'll have to try the super pressed tofu next time. I didn't realize the texture was similar to the smoked tofu. Thanks!
In Italy there isn't that much of variety, but my mom does make homemade tofu that makes me so satisfied 💗
I want to try the fish tofu. I love tuna salad but don’t buy tuna. Thanks so much for all the information. I would love to see you make “tofu” tuna salad. It’s got celery, pickles, red peppers, vegan mayo and pretty much any veggies you want. I put jalapeños in mine. 😃❤️
Awesome video! Thank you 🙂
Love this tofu guide! Very informative!
p.s. Have made your miso marinated tofu a couple of times now…so good!
How about tofu shirataki noodles? I didn’t like the House Foods brand ones, but love the Kibun Foods brand “Healthy Noodle” one from Costco. Marketed as “keto friendly”, so you might be interested.
Omg!!!!
The lengths I would go to in order to get my hands on some tofu faux fish-cakes…
