The biggest problem where I live is there's no such thing as "super firm tofu that's vacuum sealed and doesn't required pressing", where I live. All the tofu is submerged in water in deep plastic cartons. And when I press them, they're still soggy and "waterlogged" afterwards.
This is the best version of this method I have seen because of your variations, like the scoring of the tofu fillets on both broad sides. Brilliant! Thanks for posting 🙂
This looks great, my only critique applies to all of the similar "salmon" recipes I've seen recently too and it's that beets do NOT give the same pink colour as salmon! It's truly more of an orange colour so I think carrot juice is the move instead! (Or a combo of the two, depending on the exact shade you want to achieve - farmed vs wild, Atlantic vs Pacific vs sockeye, etc. There's a lot of hues of salmon!)
@alexandragatto Oh, that’s a great idea! I’m allergic to beets (love them, but they make me so, so sick!) and this recipe looks so good, but I was thinking I couldn’t dare try to make it. Carrot juice would be a good sub, because it’s also sweet like beet. 🧡🥕☺️
The B12 in seaweed is an analogue your body cannot uptake and metabolize as B12; this has been strongly suggested by clinical research. Please edit your comment!
Fortified breakfast cereals and fortified nutritional yeasts are readily available sources of vitamin B12 that have high bioavailability. The B12 in seaweed is B12 analogues, but you definitely can get B12 from nutritional yeast.
This looks and sounds SO good. Salmon is the one "meat" I miss every once in a while, so I'm definitely trying this with a sriracha mayo bowl situation!
Loved this video and your channel! One trick I saw online was to burn the nori a little bit on the stove before adding it to the marinade so it gets more flavourful and extra smoky which is very nice for the salmon :) Also! I always wonder what do you normally eat in a week? do you have any good less-fancy recipes worth sharing?
Have you tried using algal oil? You can find it as a vegan liquid omegas supplement (such as Barlean’s). I have wanted to try that for a while and I wonder if it would work a little better than nori sheets. (I’d rather just eat the nori)
I only do the twice frozen thing on soft or medium firm tofu. When it's done on anything firmer than that, I completely agree it has an unpleasantly spongey texture. I see people doing it on the firm tofus all the time though so some people don't seem to find it as off putting I guess.
My husband immediately said he hoped it wouldn't taste too fishy (as he likes vegan seafood only on rare occasions and if not too close). Between that and your very comments on the fishiness, I have the Gilmore Girls "it's not a fishy fish" conversation playing in my head. xD
Get a TofuBud. You’ll thank me. 1. Press on setting 1 for at least 60 minutes. Pour out the water. 2. Press on setting 2 for at least 30 minutes. Pour out the water. 3. Place it in a container with paper towels under it. Replace the paper towels every 12-18 hours. 4. Let it sit in the fridge for 36-72 hours. The more dried out the more meaty texture you’re going to have. 48 hours seems to really allow it to soak up the marinade well. Then it’s amazing.
This looks delicious 🙂 I looked through your videos looking for superbowl appetizers especially vegan pigs in a blanket...can you direct me to a link please🙂🙋🏽♀️👍🏽
you deserve the world like foreal thank you for your vegan creativity that has helped me going vegan two years ago in the first place!!! you're literally a huge credit for that
Could you please post the recipe as well. Since the video is so fast, it's hard to catch up. Plus, I can't even imagine what the first ingredient is, which is in a white container.
So I made this the night before...marinaded for 24 hours...put in extra nori....doesn't taste anything like salmon...it was tastey, but kinda disappointing tbh.
This recipe is a life-saver for my vegan friends who miss the taste of salmon. Can't wait to share it with them!
These videos are very very good. Keep ‘em coming. They’re up there with the best on RUclips imo.

Maybe you could try dehydrating it by putting it in the oven at low heat
Do you know if there’s a Trader Joe’s near you? They sell super firm tofu
@LouieV6 I don't live in the USA, ergo no Trader Joe's here where I am

You are so amazing, honestly the creativity is awesome. Gonna make this for my wife, who loved salmon before going vegan.
Seaweed is high in B12, so you get a lot of the nutrients from salmon in this vegan version.
It's non available though. Remember to take supplements for B-12.
I'm going to need a citation on this. Ty

It's a good source of iodine, if rather than iodized salt, you prefer himilayan, rock or sea.

Thank you for your recipes! Will be buying your book when i am financially able to.
Awesome, thank you! 🙏🏻

OMG … this looks awesome !! How did I not find this channel until someone on Reddit mentioned it ❤
Vegan salmon has been on my mind for quite a while. This came just in time! Thanks!
Thanks so much, this looks so good!
Using the nori for salmon skin is insane 🤒 i want to try
Thee Fish dude
IVE GOTTA TRY THIS!
Wow that looks incredible! 🤩
What can I use instead better than bouillon?
Dude, when are you opening your restaurant? Make sure it's a chain!
I can't wait to try this! Simon was one of my most favorite things to eat when I was pescatarian before I went vegan.
Who’s Simon
@@ArkanSAW_Officialpoor Simon
What did Simon ever do to you? 😭
RIP Simon 🙏

Hey! Great video! I wonder, how good is tofu for meal prepping? I'd love to make a week's worth of these
I have leftover tofu often, it's very good. You could def meal prep tofu.
Get a TofuBud. You’ll thank me.
1. Press on setting 1 for at least 60 minutes. Pour out the water.
2. Press on setting 2 for at least 30 minutes. Pour out the water.
3. Place it in a container with paper towels under it. Replace the paper towels every 12-18 hours.
4. Let it sit in the fridge for 36-72 hours.
The more dried out the more meaty texture you’re going to have. 48 hours seems to really allow it to soak up the marinade well. Then it’s amazing.
Looks incredible mate
This looks delicious 🙂 I looked through your videos looking for superbowl appetizers
especially vegan pigs in a blanket...can you direct me to a link please🙂🙋🏽♀️👍🏽
how much beet juice should i put into it if i want to prep 2 tofu blocks?
I tried it with Spirulina, which worked quite well.
Heyyo what can you use instead of beet juice? 😌
I love your channel!!!! So happy I found it! ☺️ keep up the amazing work! I swear if I won the lottery I’d invest in you to open some restaurants lol
When I was eating fish 😢 I would pan fry it with butter and brown sugar and before serving adding salsa with some fruit mixed In it
i dont understand why is on the link other ingredients as is the video... im confused
I’m not sure I understand what you mean. I use the same ingredients in the video as I do on the blog.
you deserve the world like foreal thank you for your vegan creativity that has helped me going vegan two years ago in the first place!!! you're literally a huge credit for that
Amazing!! Thank you!!
That looks good. I need to give that a try.
I’d love to make this but do not have beet powder. Wonder what I can substitute? I have everything else.
A small amount of raw beet, shredded.
One way ticket to flavortown!
I appreciate the fish recipes since Lent is coming up. Have you done a fishstick recipe by chance?
My filet o fish works for fish sticks but I should do a video for that too!
U basically marinade tofu sticks then fry them
this is awesome , thank you so much !!
This will be awesome in sushi rolls 😋
Awesome!
Man I am way to early for all ur vids💀. Looks amazing
Well heck fire Dude!!! This looks like the sh$&!!! Super psyched to give this one a try. I super miss my salmon. You life saver you!
I wonder if it would taste as good in an air fryer (I love my airfryer ahah)
I have to try this.. Thank you ;)
Could you please post the recipe as well. Since the video is so fast, it's hard to catch up. Plus, I can't even imagine what the first ingredient is, which is in a white container.
Recipe is linked in description
Can you heat this in an air fryer instead of frying pan?
Sure!
@@TheeBurgerDude Ty 👍
Looks great--and actually healthy unlike real fish (mercury, cadmium, arsenic, PCBs, DDT, formaldehyde,...)
you are a food artist, go work at peace pies san diego amen!
You are a god
... Gosh darnit. Now I gotta go shopping get some nori.
Yummy
They don't sell extra firm in Mauritius is firm okay
Yes just press it!
Oooh!
😮 WOW.
Ooo!!
So I made this the night before...marinaded for 24 hours...put in extra nori....doesn't taste anything like salmon...it was tastey, but kinda disappointing tbh.
Do you think you could make a vegan beef wellington?
Someday!
Good recipe
I just froze, unthawed, pressed and then baked tofu to add to chili. I couldn't get past the texture.
I really want to like tofu... but I dunno...
yum, imma chop it up and put it in sushi
i like this vid but i don't think Im ready to eat my own kind
For your next video, I'd like to see you make tofu out if salmon.
not even vegan and this stuff looks super tasty and really fun to make
In German: geile Scheisse.
Will do it right away.❤
Frozen tofu is gross. I may try this without the nori. I didn’t like fish even when I ate meat.
