  1. You usually can barely taste the difference between pressed or unpressed tofu. I recommend taste testing before you make it your everyday process. I make tofu dozens of ways, I think the easiest way that comes out really tasty is baked with a little oil and some kind of soy sauce mixture

  2. She just did the most white thing ever. Dried it up and fried it. It's probably so dry. She also drowned it so bad. She might as well just drink the sauce and leave the tofu for someone who actually knows how to work and cook tofu.

  3. Sheesh, why do westerners always make things way more complicated and act like they’re pro when they actually know nothing about it? It’s not that complicated to cook tofu. You don’t need to press tofu and you don’t need flour to crisp it.

  4. One of my fav ways is raw with grated ginger, soy sauce and green onions. Also sautéed with cayenne pepper and soy sauce. But I used to eat it raw with black salt and olive oil. Finding a good quality tofu is very important too

  5. I found a perfect way for me to make tasty oil free / salt free baked tofu. Mrs. Dash chipotle flavored spice, Mrs. Dash everything but the bagel spice , garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, add red balsamic vinegar, quite a bit , and allow all ingredients to sit until the dry spices are plump/ reconstituted by the liquid of the vinegar. Then take the drained / dryish tofu and coat at least two sides of the tofu… bake at 350 / until crispy / turn to get both sides. It’s great to use in salads and soups. You can always add additional sauces if you so desire. Sorry I don’t have measurements listed but I kind of cook on the fly. It’s pretty simple to make to personal taste and scale. All the best. And thanks for your recipes and experiments. ❤

  6. you don't even have to bread 'em. i like frying them as they are and just dip them in siracha like fries. you can also coat the tofu in the sauce you like and pop them in the air fryer

  7. Humans do not have the receptors to taste pure protein, which is what tofu is. Therefore, to make tofu "taste good" it all resides on how you flavor and cook it. Great video, great advice.

  8. If you don’t want to bread your tofu (which is a great idea) but still want some extra texture, you can cut your tofu with a butter knife, or something to give it shaggy edges. It makes a nice little difference.

  9. One of my favourite tofu dish is just plain tofu, lightly blanched, dipped in some salt. Sometimes it’s not the food just that your cultural taste is not adjusted for certain food, and that’s okay, don’t just assume a food tastes bad because you don’t get it yet
