    For the tofu bacon, try using a wire cheese slicer. It makes the slices thin and uniform.

    I been addicted to tofu puffs tossed in buffalo sauce, sprinkle with everything bagel seasonings and cooked in the air fryer. Silken tofu is good for tofu scramble too. You freeze it 1st and then squeeze out the liquid and add to a pan with little cashew cream or plant base milk and other seasonings.

    one of my favorite super lazy recipes with tofu is to use silken tofu, slice it up, cover with soy sauce and sesame oil to taste and eat with rice and/or veggies. got it from cheaplazyvegan and it's soo good when I'm craving tofu but don't feel like cooking or just want to eat it cold.

    Hi guys🙋🏻I just found your channel and am so excited👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I like tofu so much but my husband won’t have anything to do with it so I thought “fine you eat what you want I’m tired of eating food that degrades my health anymore then it already is🤣🤣🤣I’m a 77 year old woman and I was a vegetarian in the 70’s and 80’s got divorced and my two girls went vegetarian. Then years later I met my present husband and after two years slowly went back to eating animals😡!! So here you are and I’m ready to go back to eating a healthier foods.
    Thanks for sharing.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Great video! I've never seen super-firm tofu in the stores where I live, so I'm wondering if double freezing extra firm tofu might work for the bacon. I'm totally going to make the chocolate mousse. I have some silken tofu in the fridge, and I'm loving the simplicity of your recipe. Thank you for the pressing tip using the tofu packaging. I never thought to do that!

  • @KimofCoventry

      When I went vegan 3 years ago, I ate all the same things only veganised, with everything available today that's super easy.
      I now moved on and have many different things that I'd never tried before that I eat regularly, becoming vegan actually broadened my food horizons 😁😋.
      Finding which vegan milks you like and what works best in tea, coffee, over cereal etc is the challenge 😁😃.

    If you stack heavy objects ontop of the tofu. It will fall off! I found the best way to press the tofu is to get 2 matching plastic containers. Put the tofu in the bottom container. Fill the 2nd container with water and put the lid on it and place it on top of the tofu. Obviously, don't put the lid on the container holding the tofu.

  • @sarahenriquez1994

    Silken tofu is also great for smoothies. I don't like the way banana will take over the flavor, and I don't like to use dairy. The tofu adds thst nice creaminess and lets the fruit flavor shine through.

    When you freeze and thaw the medium-firm tofu, I noticed you leave it in the original packaging. After thawing the first time, do you just refreeze again in the same package? Or take it out and remove the water first before freezing again?
