I am by no means a vegan or vegetarian, but you sure as hell make me break away from my usual go-to meals. Thanks for the inspiration! -Fellow cooking enthusiast
I'm Chinese and grew up eating tofu all the time! if you can get fresh fresh tofu (aka not in the plastic sealed boxes but from a store who made it the same day, usually in big plastic tubs), then a favorite way to eat it is just cut into bite sized pieces on a plate, with a pool of soy sauce, green onions, and sesame oil on top. super refreshing and great way to enjoy high quality tofu
My husband was reluctant for years but then I made crispy tofu stir fry one night and he was sold. I make many different ways now and always enjoys it.
@Laura G. Many people hate many things. Like we love eating "exotic food" here in asia that you guys may find odd and gross. But to be honest it just depends on how you cook and prepare the ingredients. People who say they hate liver might not have found the recipe that suits their palette best, same to tofu 😞
I sometimes have it just as it is, without any seasoning 🤣 I think the problem is that people always want to make it taste like meat/chicken... and eventually they will be disappointed because the only way to fully achieve it is by using a lot of chemicals - the opposite of healthy. If people would try to embrace the taste of tofu they could see its actual beauty. Just like we always try to change everything, the environment and ourselves. If we could learn to embrace the things as they are we all might be happier. That said, I also love Tofu dishes with a bit of seasoning. My all-time favourite is mapo tofu without meat, just very spicy sauce; or hiyayakko or agedashi tofu with plant-based dashi. There’s no need to cover the taste of tofu when it’s so beautiful
The recipe that converted me to tofu was doing it like a fish fillet. I marinate it the day before on lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, a sprinkle of salt and white pepper/hot sauce and then I roll them on bread crumbs (I should try the corn starch to make it crispier!) and fry it or put it on the airfryer (or the oven). I started doing it more than one year after becoming vegetarian and it was really nice to be able to make something vegan that reminded me of fish fillets. When my family eats them, I make my own out of tofu and they've all tasted and approved it as well, it started to be a regular at my parent's house
Hey Sadia. I know you might not remember me but i asked you to help me because my parents won't lemme go vegan. And u asked me to read 'Becoming Vegan'& yes i am reading it.. Thanx.. How can i not listen you.. You are my inspiration . Keep up the goooooood work.❤bloopers😍...
Great recipes! Tip: alternately, if you're going to be slicing the tofu anyway, slice it and THEN remove the water. Place the slices between 2 layers of kitchen (or paper) towels with a heavy, wooden cutting board in top. Water removal only takes about 5 minutes.
I like to make maple-miso sticky tofu at home 😋 The ingredients are a tsp of brown miso paste, 2 tbsp of tamari, 2 tbsp of maple syrup, a squeeze of lemon juice,a tsp of corn starch, a tsp of sriracha, a clove of garlic and a little bit of ginger And Tofu of course Enjoy!
Hi Sadia, I love your videos so much.I really admire your manner of speaking so fluently without any stammering and filler words!!! Love the channel ♥️♥️♥️
I usually press tofu with a cast iron skillet and a towel, and my current favorite coating is cornmeal, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper (has kind of a fried-chicken vibe that I like). --These recipes look amazing! I'm looking forward to trying the buffalo recipe!
I don’t like cooking and I know I am not gonna cook any of it but I like watching your videos. I really enjoy watching your videos. You sound positive and kind. 🤍
The vegan ranch is LIFE CHANGING! I make up the mix and always have it on hand for a quick ranch dressing. My whole family loves it and I can make it in minutes. THE BEST!
hi sadia, i just wanted to share sth. in turkey we make tomato sauces for winters, the season of the year when tomatoes are white and dont have juice. preparation actually changes from family to family. in my family we get rid off the skin with knives; which requires a lot of your time😂, we blend it and make it like a soup , and boil it. then we pour them to jars. so in pastas or whatever you are cooking, you can use those sauces through out the winter. we are making like 50 jars or sth but it depends person to person.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you Thank you Thankyou I just found your channel and have literally been watching all your videos nonstop for the last few hours 😊 My twins that are 16 years old came in my room before and told me to come and cook as usual, turns out they love you just as much as I do after eating the falafel dish I got from you !!🤣 I’m beyond thrilled now that I have a whole lot of new recipes to cook for my family. I can’t wait for the kids to go back to school so I can share your channel with all the other Moms at their school. You have such a sweet, lovely personality. 💕💕🌸🌸💕💕🌸
Sadia makes my mindspace better.. I literally binge watch her videos on TV.. her videos are dope.. and I always comment first before watching her videos because I sooo know they are going to be awesome❤️.
Frankly I make none of your recipes because you use a lot of stuff which is usually not available at our location but I never miss a single video from you because I love watching your videos.. They’re so creative and the videography is really great along with your soothing voice ❤️💕🙈
Love you Sadie You inspired me to go vegan And now I am loving it So I want to thank you so so so so much for this video I literally have two packs of tofu Now I know some recipes which I can make Love you
I could honestly eat tofu plain, but learning more ways to enjoy it is exactly what I love :D Especially form such an AWESOME recipe developer! The video was as always beautifully crafted and each recipe just packed with flavour! . Sending you all the love! Stay safe and have a great week ahead!
Grazie molte Sadia per la traduzione delle tue ricette nella mia lingua!! Sei unica anche in questo!! Adoro le tue ricette e il tuo modo originale di presentarle, è una gioia anche per gli occhi!
You inspired me to start eating healthy. Thank you so much. I've 30pounds exercising and eating healthy food. Your receipes have been helpful. I'm document my journey here on RUclips
The different tofu pressing techniques, soaking the kebab sticks, corn starch for crisping tofu... I've been fully schooled in tofu and we're only 3 minutes in... absolutely love this. Should be required viewing for all vegans everywhere. Brilliant tips👌👌
You’ve been such an inspiration! I was researching meals and options to start at least a vegetarian lifestyle for my health and the health of the planet. I stumbled upon your Channel and it’s been a compass on my journey. I started with one plant based meal a week and now I’m almost completely plant based!! I really love how you present your channel and recipes, it’s obvious that you just want to put wholesome, nourishing, nutritious food out in the world. Keep the content coming!!! 🥬🥥🥕
Just so appreciate these recipes! My mouth was watering the entire time I was watching. I’ve used so many of your suggestions and they are always spot on. You and Robin are lovely together.💕
I enjoy the colorful cuisine! Thankyou. My preference for the tofu itself, is one that has nigari in the ingredient list. I love the flavor. After pressing, I slice into cubes, splash with a little good tamari, strew freshly grated ginger, then sprinkle with bonito flakes and gomasio. Served chilled. Soooo good.
I cannot thank this channel enough. There's a huge difference in my life I cannot even emphasize enough. Also my heart becomes 💖💖💖💖 whenever u feature Robin
I'm Asian so I loooove tofu, even better when it's featured in a PUL video! 😍 Far from a 'meat substitute', tofu is a core ingredient in its own right in many Asian cuisines. There's a bit of a misconception that tofu is 'bland', but good tofu has its own mild flavour that is tasty on its own :) For example, hiyayakko, a Japanese dish of chilled silken tofu that really celebrates the simplicity of this ingredients. I love seeing these kind of recipes though, because tofu is such a versatile ingredient so it's cool to see how people innovate with it! 😃
At last! I've found a recipe that makes tofu delicious! Thank you- I tried the kebabs and even the rest of the family liked them. Looking forward to trying the other recipes. xx
The last recipe is so fast, love it! I do something similar with Agave, Gochujang or Sriracha, Miso paste and tamarind paste. I also use tofu as a chicken replacement in a pasta pollo limone recipe. I just marinate the tofu with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. and fry. Super delicious! Combine with stir fried mushrooms, your favorite pasta and more of the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt & black pepper. Top with a little violife Parmesan or nutritional yeast. 😋👌🏼
videos u make is very aesthetic it makes me to watch the video over again and again and the recipes u make are very different food photography is soooo nice waiting for next video 😍😍
Wat s sweet husband he is .. wipes her dirt away n helps her in cooking .. now I got y she s sooo happy in her lyf .. great couple .. ur videos r addictive darling.. lots of lov to u both from India🥰
how to get rid of as much liquid out of the tofu as possible: freeze the tofu, let thaw overnight. You'll get rid of much more liquid than by just squeezing
She has an e-book out with all the blog recipes up to Dec 2019, plus a few bonus non-blog recipes. Really affordable, super user-friendly, and worth every penny to have everything in one place. I’ve bought 3 copies for friends.
Zara Hassan she’s the reason why I went vegan 8 months ago. It wasn’t preaching or pressuring that I saw the benefits of being vegan, but rather seeing all the yummy recopies I could make. I don’t even miss any animal products with recipes like these!! (Last week I made the Pad-Thai meal prep and it was one of my favs!)
Sadia, you have no idea how valuable this video is to me today. I have two blocks of tofu that I need to use, but I am tired of all the other dishes I have made with tofu. 😫 I’m definitely trying the buffalo strips since I miss buffalo wings so much while on my journey toward veganism. The skewers look like a win as well!👍🏾🙏🏾
Sadia, it’s always a pleasure watching your videos. Have you ever frozen, then defrosted, extra firm tofu before draining and cooking with it? I find it gives the tofu an even chewier texture. (I hate mushy, pudding-like tofu). Can I use vegan sour cream instead of yogurt in the tzatziki? All three dishes look wonderful. I would just tone down the “heat” on them.
I'm not vegan and I've never cooked with tofu before, but I'm trying to branch out and explore plant-based protein options. I decided to give the spicy garlic tofu a try. It is so delicious! Not like good-for-healthy-food delicious, like restaurant delicious. (Though next time I'll use a nonstick pan to brown the tofu, lol.) I served it as a stir-fry with rice. I sautéed red onion, bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and coleslaw mix with another dose of the same sauce as the tofu. Seriously really good! Thanks, Sadia!
It is a really versatile ingredient. tastes like whatever you want to do with it and it is very nutritionally practical and useful for people with budgets or who lack time, or energy or need an ingredient that lasts. It’s a very practical food, but for some reason people don’t understand how much you can do with it, so this is a good theme for anyone to explore.
I don't know if you're aware of that Sadia (personnally I discovered it thanks to one of my subscribers), but RUclips now inserts ads inside all videos (mid roll), without you choosing this option (and even if you decide not to monetize your video). Maybe you chosed it yourself and I totally respect that, but if it's not the case, don't hesitate to check out your monetization settings. And thanks a lot for this new video ! ;-)
My first thought when I saw a video pop up from Sadia was. YAY!!! Something Positive and Happy!!!! Thank You Sadia!!!! Plus the food always looks Amazing!! ❤️🎉🎉🎉❤️💞🌈
I freeze and defreeze the tofu to get rid of most of its liquids. Then I marinate it in soy sauce with garlic, silan and ginger, and bake it. It's delicious.
Hack: instead of getting extra firm tofu that still often needs pressing for some recipes, buy Chinese tofu labelled "hard", very little water content and usually a cheaper alternative (also because you aren't paying for water you're gonna squeeze out). Usually you can get it from Asian grocers :) btw LOVED these recipes, can't wait to try them!
Chinese-Canadian here - "hard' tofu and extra firm tofu basically are the same thing - just different ways to translate the word. There are places now you can buy extra firm tofu with vacuum packing. There would still be water but not as much. One of the places you can buy them in Canada is Loblaws.
@@angechrissy while that may be true for canada, where I live the chinese tofu is usually labelled hard and is generally a lot firmer than the extra-firm labelled ones. But thanks for clarifying!
Just this morning I searched your channel looking for tofu recipes and now you posted this! Thank you so much, I will definitely try out one of these tomorrow!!
Love theses! I have such a texture problem and hated tofu for the longest time. Videos like these have helped me cook it in a way that I really like. More videos on how to make foods for people who hate mushy textures would be awesome!!
I just bought tofu to start getting more plant based, this is perfect timing
3 года назад+1
Made the skewers, tzatziki sauce and buffalo strips tacos last New Year's Eve. Amazing! Thank you for all the effort you put to make our lives easier! ❤️
Those look so delicious, thank you!!!!! I especially want to make the sticky garlic dish, yuuuuuuuum!!!!!!!! I use a tofu press, it's pretty inexpensive, I don't know if it's really needed at this point in time with all the different tofus that are firm, extra firm, I use it anyway. I love the idea of freezing tofu, letting it defrost and then tofu pressing it, it leaves holes that supposedly make it so that making fried "chicken" etc. tastes amazing, I have some in our freezer as we speak and I want to give it a go, great idea, right?!!!!! We will see!!!! I love the ideas that you showed us today, thank you again!!!! Stay Safe everyone 😷. 😷. 😷. 😷. 💝Kathy
I love tofu. It's the texture that's so special. I like to just slice it, roast it in the oven after spreading balsamic, olive oil, salt pepper and whatever mediterranean herbs I might have on hand. I serve it on the side of any vegetables and grains for a well rounded plate. Thank you for all the great ideas and recipes!
Probably the best way to finish my day and imagining to start my day tomorrow by making one of these😍😍😍❤️ you are amazing, and i love love love pick up limes. Sending loads of positivityy 💕
Before watching the video, I just rush into commenting, in the hopes of getting a heart on my comment 🙈♥️ Also, the recipes are always so different than what we know and what we make😇💯
If you’re like my husband and can’t have cucumber, sub in raw zucchini and some lemon juice to the tzatziki. Its not exactly the same but deeply similar.
I love all your recipes!!!. Since I've been following you, my kids love tofu and others vegan recipes. Thanks for inspiring me. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤ "Besos" from Madrid (Spain) 🇪🇸🇪🇸
My family and I are silly: we love to take a block of tofu and let it rest for about 10 minutes on a plate. No physical pressure, just let the water drain a bit. We pour that off, and then we slice it into large cubes. Lastly, we drizzle over either a thick soy sauce or mushroom sauce with another light drizzle of toasted sesame oil. My two little kiddos demolish that dish quicker than any other on the table. 😆❤️
Sadia, I have watched your videos for so long now and they are so relaxing! Could you please do a video for people who are also Gluten free. (I have celiacs)

How do you drain your tofu? With a tofu press, something heavy on top, or another method? 🤓
Hai sadia
A heavy pot on top
I like put it in a cheese cloth and put a heavy pan on top of that.
Tofu press but sadia is here to teach some new techniques 😊💗💗
I don't get tofu in my city it is very rare and expensive but would love to try it sometime also I love you, you are my inspiration.
Omg I have lived a better life ever since I started watching you

@@nicoleancker9130 Totally agree!!
@@fee6145 Gotta be! It's always such a breath of fresh air to eat vegan for a day or two.
Same here. I am not a vegan, but this channel makes me wanna become one ...lol!
I'm Chinese and grew up eating tofu all the time! if you can get fresh fresh tofu (aka not in the plastic sealed boxes but from a store who made it the same day, usually in big plastic tubs), then a favorite way to eat it is just cut into bite sized pieces on a plate, with a pool of soy sauce, green onions, and sesame oil on top. super refreshing and great way to enjoy high quality tofu
Sounds so good :) Thank you!
Thank you for that. Do you happen to know where to find stores that have fresh tofu?
I love tofu 😍 people who don’t like the taste don’t know how to prep it right. It’s so versatile!
Texture.
@@Scottlp2 there are many different types of tofu with different textures. Don't beat it til you try them all.

Aw lovely to hear, Saamya, I hope you enjoy the book 🤗
That's amazing :)
Where can I get that book? I've been really considering becoming vegan
Is it available on audible? Who’s the author?

Oooh a cast-iron pan would work better than what I was trying in the video 😂 thanks for sharing, Jenna!
@@PickUpLimes Where are your ideas?
This is what I do! Clean kitchen towel and cast iron gives me the best results every time.
I lay mine between 2 folded dish towels then set a cutting board on top, then place a water filled tea kettle on top of that.
Cast iron skillet is by far the best way
I don’t like cooking and I know I am not gonna cook any of it but I like watching your videos. I really enjoy watching your videos. You sound positive and kind. 🤍

She has an e-book out with all the blog recipes up to Dec 2019, plus a few bonus non-blog recipes. Really affordable, super user-friendly, and worth every penny to have everything in one place. I’ve bought 3 copies for friends.
These videos are making me wanting to cook healthy so much and etc. But CAN WE PLEASE ADMIRE THIS BEUTIFUL KITCHEN FOR A MOMENT OK?!
Green kitchen is the best... I wish to have more green kitchen then u sadia mam
You're just wondrous and your videos mean so much for me
You inspire me to be vegan
Zara Hassan she’s the reason why I went vegan 8 months ago. It wasn’t preaching or pressuring that I saw the benefits of being vegan, but rather seeing all the yummy recopies I could make. I don’t even miss any animal products with recipes like these!! (Last week I made the Pad-Thai meal prep and it was one of my favs!)
Alyse Martin WOW.. that’s great
Sadia, you have no idea how valuable this video is to me today. I have two blocks of tofu that I need to use, but I am tired of all the other dishes I have made with tofu. 😫 I’m definitely trying the buffalo strips since I miss buffalo wings so much while on my journey toward veganism. The skewers look like a win as well!👍🏾🙏🏾
Sadia, it’s always a pleasure watching your videos. Have you ever frozen, then defrosted, extra firm tofu before draining and cooking with it? I find it gives the tofu an even chewier texture. (I hate mushy, pudding-like tofu).
Can I use vegan sour cream instead of yogurt in the tzatziki?
All three dishes look wonderful. I would just tone down the “heat” on them.
Heyyy Sadia....Love all your recipes and I enjoy watching you make all the recipes.....Lots of love
I'm not vegan and I've never cooked with tofu before, but I'm trying to branch out and explore plant-based protein options. I decided to give the spicy garlic tofu a try. It is so delicious! Not like good-for-healthy-food delicious, like restaurant delicious. (Though next time I'll use a nonstick pan to brown the tofu, lol.) I served it as a stir-fry with rice. I sautéed red onion, bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and coleslaw mix with another dose of the same sauce as the tofu. Seriously really good! Thanks, Sadia!
It is a really versatile ingredient. tastes like whatever you want to do with it and it is very nutritionally practical and useful for people with budgets or who lack time, or energy or need an ingredient that lasts. It’s a very practical food, but for some reason people don’t understand how much you can do with it, so this is a good theme for anyone to explore.
I don't know if you're aware of that Sadia (personnally I discovered it thanks to one of my subscribers), but RUclips now inserts ads inside all videos (mid roll), without you choosing this option (and even if you decide not to monetize your video).
Maybe you chosed it yourself and I totally respect that, but if it's not the case, don't hesitate to check out your monetization settings.
And thanks a lot for this new video ! ;-)
Wait does this mean some of the ads wont actually give her money?
Brave Browser blocks all ads including RUclips's
I think she deserves all the monetization we can support her with💚 I’m glad to watch 15 seconds of ads for her
I didn’t see any ad? But I pay for RUclips so guessing it’s only on non paying watchers?
My first thought when I saw a video pop up from Sadia was. YAY!!! Something Positive and Happy!!!! Thank You Sadia!!!! Plus the food always looks Amazing!! ❤️🎉🎉🎉❤️💞🌈
I freeze and defreeze the tofu to get rid of most of its liquids. Then I marinate it in soy sauce with garlic, silan and ginger, and bake it. It's delicious.
That sounds great! What’s silan? I’ve never heard of it.
Do you cut it or put the whole tofu ??
@@rosered6143 Date honey. You can use maple syrup or honey instead.
@@kalam6748 I freeze the whole tofu, and after I defrost and sqeeze it, I cut it to cubes before I marinate and bake it.
Estee Horn thanks ! Will try
OMGosh!!! Drooling...thank you. I will be making each of these recipes!!
will definitely be trying that last one - looks so delicious!
Love that video. Perfect for a slow sunday when looking for the dishes of the week.
Hack: instead of getting extra firm tofu that still often needs pressing for some recipes, buy Chinese tofu labelled "hard", very little water content and usually a cheaper alternative (also because you aren't paying for water you're gonna squeeze out). Usually you can get it from Asian grocers :)
btw LOVED these recipes, can't wait to try them!
Chinese-Canadian here - "hard' tofu and extra firm tofu basically are the same thing - just different ways to translate the word. There are places now you can buy extra firm tofu with vacuum packing. There would still be water but not as much. One of the places you can buy them in Canada is Loblaws.
@@angechrissy while that may be true for canada, where I live the chinese tofu is usually labelled hard and is generally a lot firmer than the extra-firm labelled ones. But thanks for clarifying!
I like my tofu from non GMO plants so usually buy organic which, unfortunately, I have never seen in an asian shops.
Just this morning I searched your channel looking for tofu recipes and now you posted this! Thank you so much, I will definitely try out one of these tomorrow!!
I love you soo much Sadia...it's a delight to listen to you- much love and appreciation from India
I have made the skewers and the sauce twice now and WOW so so good! Thank you!
Can I ask you what brand tofu you buy? I'm based in The Netherlands as well but never see "extra firm" tofu, just normal or silken!
Love theses! I have such a texture problem and hated tofu for the longest time. Videos like these have helped me cook it in a way that I really like. More videos on how to make foods for people who hate mushy textures would be awesome!!
I just bought tofu to start getting more plant based, this is perfect timing
Made the skewers, tzatziki sauce and buffalo strips tacos last New Year's Eve. Amazing! Thank you for all the effort you put to make our lives easier! ❤️
Those look so delicious, thank you!!!!! I especially want to make the sticky garlic dish, yuuuuuuuum!!!!!!!! I use a tofu press, it's pretty inexpensive, I don't know if it's really needed at this point in time with all the different tofus that are firm, extra firm, I use it anyway. I love the idea of freezing tofu, letting it defrost and then tofu pressing it, it leaves holes that supposedly make it so that making fried "chicken" etc. tastes amazing, I have some in our freezer as we speak and I want to give it a go, great idea, right?!!!!! We will see!!!! I love the ideas that you showed us today, thank you again!!!! Stay Safe everyone 😷. 😷. 😷. 😷. 💝Kathy
Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes!! And I adore the bloopers at the end!!
Pick up limes is the only channel where you like the video before watching
I love tofu. It's the texture that's so special. I like to just slice it, roast it in the oven after spreading balsamic, olive oil, salt pepper and whatever mediterranean herbs I might have on hand. I serve it on the side of any vegetables and grains for a well rounded plate. Thank you for all the great ideas and recipes!
"How's my hair?" - "brown" 😂😂😂😂😂 Only men say that
Women do their hair and wear the clothes they wear.. for other women, not really for men. Lol
Crystalline Entity sooo true hahah. Other women complimenting me is so much better than men
I thought I heard wrong for a moment......hahaha.....typical male answer 🙄
definitely a guy answer lmao!!
seems like I give guy answers... I would say that
been watching for years- very useful, innovative, great video. so cool!
Probably the best way to finish my day and imagining to start my day tomorrow by making one of these😍😍😍❤️ you are amazing, and i love love love pick up limes. Sending loads of positivityy 💕
I tried out the buffalo strips and thery were awesome!! 😍 Thanks for sharing that video with us. I love your videos since day one!🙏
Hello SADIA again! I had a flavorsome night because of you.I’m thankful to you for this incredible video. Catch ya!!
Always enjoy watching your videos, so many great ideas and so calming to watch!
That RED hot sauce in her pristine WHITE pan on the stove was giving me lo-key anxiety LOL
I love non vegetarian dishes especially recipes..bt aftr watching your vlog...u inspires me to start veganism
Before watching the video, I just rush into commenting, in the hopes of getting a heart on my comment 🙈♥️ Also, the recipes are always so different than what we know and what we make😇💯
congrats on the heart haha
Hope you are well Sadia and post a video soon. Miss my Sunday morning routine of watching Pick Up Limes while sipping my chai latte with oat milk.
If you’re like my husband and can’t have cucumber, sub in raw zucchini and some lemon juice to the tzatziki. Its not exactly the same but deeply similar.
sounds like a good substitution! try adding some celery seed or celery salt to mimic some of the cucumber taste
I'm drooling over your kitchen and all the stoneware/pottery - such a grounded earthy relaxed vibe - LOVE it
Taziki is best when served the next day. Let everything rest in the fridge.
I've never tried tofu but want to start cooking with it to eat healthier. Every recipe looks delicious & will definitely try them. Thanks!
Sadia, how are you? Why you’re not uploading a new video?
Look at the post in her Community tab in her channel
I love all your recipes!!!. Since I've been following you, my kids love tofu and others vegan recipes. Thanks for inspiring me. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤ "Besos" from Madrid (Spain) 🇪🇸🇪🇸
My family and I are silly: we love to take a block of tofu and let it rest for about 10 minutes on a plate. No physical pressure, just let the water drain a bit. We pour that off, and then we slice it into large cubes. Lastly, we drizzle over either a thick soy sauce or mushroom sauce with another light drizzle of toasted sesame oil. My two little kiddos demolish that dish quicker than any other on the table. 😆❤️
Do you cook the tofu? Sounds yummy and easy!
Sadia, I have watched your videos for so long now and they are so relaxing! Could you please do a video for people who are also Gluten free. (I have celiacs)
