I love tofu and prepare it very often. I saw a Chinese cook on RUclips explain why Chinese freeze their tofu before using. Freezing tofu causes the water inside to expand, forming ice crystals that create tiny holes in the tofu. Once thawed, these holes are left behind. This gives the tofu a texture that soaks up marinades and sauces even better than its fresh counterpart. I do it all the time know!
I love using frozen tofu as well! Another thing I found was adding my tofu cubes directly in the rice-cooker with the rice. The flavour and texture of the tofu is really nice, especially the cubes that were on the bottom of the cooker. 👍🏻
I LOVE freezing it!! Best texture. I learned this by mistake when freezing tofu that was past its expiration. I was nervous how it would cook once thawed, but when I air fried it, it was the crispiest and softest tofu I had ever made! 😋
Made the entire recipe for dinner tonight, it was delicious. After 9 months of grieving the loss of my husband, I decided to start eating a plant-based diet again. Glad I came across your posting. Every bite was delicious. I’m looking forward to the next couple of evenings for left-over dinner. Yumm
My husband also passed away he didn't care that I was more or less vegan we loved to cook together. It is strange to cook for one (well one small dog who likes sweet potatoes...) Sending you a huge hug.
My family always .... just cooked I didn't grow up with fast food my mum a superb gardener. Now older, we're all a bit financially challenged it's still an adventure. I may use a bit of fish or a happy egg from a happy chicken but don't miss meat. I do rely on Instant Pot make a lot of bean stews/chilis etc etc. This recipe was fun because tofu always a challenge for me.
I hope you don’t get arthritis or any other disease caused by inflammation. It was a big and all my life and now I’m suffering for it. Of course, not all bodies are the same….but….
@@daniesza Yes, every body is different. For many lactose (dairy) and wheat, to name just two, causes inflammation, so eliminating them from food intakes is a must. The way animals - which are sentient beings who have feelings ( joy, sadness, etc and feel pain - are raised for human consumption is cruel and most are vegan or vegetarian for that ethical reason!
I've been following you since I first went vegan over 3 years ago and think you're by far one of the best out there & I've watched pretty much every video of yours, but for some reason I particularly enjoyed this one - humble, authentic, gorgeous kitchen (as always), subtle humour, ASMR, your emphasis on reducing waste, down to earth realistic home cooking with the added bonus of professional knowledge, plus a Frankie-feature is always a delight... You're great Derek, don't ever stop what you're doing (as long as it makes you happy of course) 🌱💚
Absolutely! I got into the habit of freezing appropriate veg for stock it;s actually a no brainer and yes no waste. I volunteered in a soup kitchen for a while and the stuff people were throwing out .... the wonderful thing is that 75 percent of the people chose the vegan alternative so we must have been doing something right lol.
Me too. I just squeeze it, and if I want to completely squeeze out the water, I use a towel. And I also learned the whole freeze and thaw. It's easier to get the water out only thing I don't like is the change of texture but it's okay.
When making TFC fake chicken using a slow press makes a big difference for me. A towel doesn't get everything out and the extra water totally changes the flavour/texture plus leaks into the boiling oil.
Putting in the freezer for a night and defrosting changes the structure and you can squeeze so much water out with your hands and don't need a press or towels I put a load of tofu in the freezer for a night then put them in the fridge for whenever I need them
Chef Sarno, due to health issues, I've been considering switching to a plant based diet & I want to say "thank you" for sharing your expertise with people.
@DerekSarnoChef ps if the veg cooking water doesn't have broccoli or another strong flavored veg, I sometimes save it for cooking rice or as a base for soup stock. Flavor is flavor and vitamins and minerals are always welcome. I even use it for flavoring my dogs food; He deserves a different taste treat every now and then. Appreciate every video you share with us 😍
I recently started my plant based journey and i am so happy to have come across your channel. You're a true inspiration and i just cannot thank u enough for the amazing high quality content you produce. Thank you Derek!!!
I'm not a fan of tofu presses myself. On an unrelated note, I'm making lion's mane (or monkey's head, as we call it down here) mushroom steak basically once a week, and it's all your fault. Keep up the good work, and greetings from Southeast Asia 🤟
Looks yum. I go through times I don't want to cook just for myself. I have my young son, but there's a lot of things he won't eat. Thanks for inspiring me with new things to cook .
i always eat tofu, LOVE it. But I have never roasted the whole blocks like this. Definitely gonna try this. Looks delicious and so dang easy! And I do sheet pan veggies and mashed potatoes all the time. This just might become a regular goto meal. Thanks!
Just found you Derek,am inspired thank you as I live alone here in uk.Cooking after loss has been a journey too so I scale your recipes down just for me,organic and home grown herbs makes such a contribution.My body and mind gradually coming back to a fresh new me.thanks again.🎉
“Just me,” you are just awesome. Made this tonight. Yummmmm. Every element was so comforting. And I grew every vegetable component in the recipe so it felt that I had celebrated my vegetables in the best way possible. I made half your quantity and I still have mega leftovers. Something to look forward to tomorrow. Love your recipes. Thanks so much.
@Derek Sarno I'm going to make this tonight as I have all the ingredients, except sherry. Can organic red wine be substituted or should I just ignore that step? I hope you realize how much we all appreciate you and we're so grateful for all you teach us. And, most important, hugs to Frankie.
Thank you. Of course most wines would work, brandy, etc even orange juice - i try to keep in mind color and flavors that meld together. Also works without alcohol for sure.
This meal looks incredible, Derek!! Definitely going to try this roasted tofu recipe (and all the rest, YUM!). Frankie warms my heart with her love of tofu…I love it too, Frankie.
Derek's right, this will change your life! I made this for an elevated Sunday dinner and it was fantastic! The gravy is to die for and will be a staple in my freezer. That panko crust with the fresh herbs was mmm, mmm, good! I can see using it on other dishes like as a crunchy topping for Mac n Chz. It wasn't hard, but a little time/effort - but totally worth it for a true chef inspired meal! Thanks!!
I looooovvvvveeee you .. I was terribly depressed, not clinically, was not able to get up from the bed for like three days , shit happens , well your videos were calming just calming. I felt safe with your videos , nice and lifted. Eventually I got up cooked up a meal inspired by your videos and what I had in fridge ( hadn't done shopping) and got up ... Thanks
I LOVE that you cook the tofu in the oven, freeing you up to work on the side dishes. Addition of the crust brings the crisp texture without the labor and mess of frying. THANK YOU!
They have many kind of tofu. They generally like silk type of textures. They are creamy, nutty, slightly sweet, but savory. I cannot exactly describe the mouth texture, but it's smooth, creamy, soft but somehow it's firm, strangely. It can be a delicacy during the hot summer time as a good filling side dish! I miss that a lot!
I love that you just start! I love the variety you bring. I love that you make things I have never thought to make. I can go on and on. I found you about to days ago and I can. Not. Get. Enough!!! I’m honestly sad I didn’t find you sooner 😢
Can’t wait to try this! “Every vegetable deserves its own cutting space” is my own idiosyncrasy that I’ve never heard anyone else say before! Cheers bro!
Derek ! You’re the best . I feel so blessed that I came upon your Amazing channel . At 73 years old your the best chef I truly trust . I couldn’t find a cooking channel that I felt comfortable with. You’re God send
This recipe was like thanksgiving dinner! Made this tonight and it was so delicious, the tofu was really amazing and im not a huge tofu fan. Really loved following along and trying something new. Ive never cooked such a big meal before so it was really fun to test myself and push my limits as well as learn some new cooking techniques. Thank you for your great videos!
That all looked SO fabulous! The garlic butter, I could have died! We learn so much from techniques to spices and flavor profiles, you got it covered!! Thanks, we enjoy your videos!! Kisses to the beautiful tofu loving Frankie!!
Love your videos and your beautiful Frankie ❤it's amazing how you make all this healthy vegan food. And it's so nice of you to share with your friend and his family 😇
I have been eating vegan for almost 3 weeks as part of my church fasting. I am doing the Daniel Fast and I have to say, I feel GREAT! I love to cook, but this looks like a lot of work for one person. I may try this recipe, it looks fantastic!
Welcome back man, we’ve been missing you last few weeks! One of our dogs been missing Frankie real bad too! 🥵she gets super worked up every time she’s on camera.
Seriously Derek! I am researching unrelated topics for work at the moment, but I see this on my RUclips feed staring at me, so I pop in for a quick glance as the dish looks phenomenal at a glance and irristable after seeing the ingredient list and technique, so good. I was given a fresh block of tofu that I planned to cook later in the week, it won't wait that long now. Your dish looks magiclly delicious! Bravo and thanks a bunch.
Your video, content, recipe all are so wonderful to watch. Your choice of music is superb. I enjoy just watching you and I'm sure will enjoy making the food even more. Thank you!
I really love your channel. Thank You so much very much for putting so much heart and inspiration into your cooking. You have me truly inspired to spend so much more time in the kitchen these days. It is truly a joy and a pleasure to learn from you. .
I really appreciate you Derek for all the gorgeous, easy vegan meals you prepare for us. They all look yummy and delicious! This one is similar in ingredients that we used to call a 'boiled dinner' in England!! Then, many years ago of course we had meat instead of Tofu, I always hated meat when I was a kid so what a joy it is being vegan for the animals and myself. Love Frankie, I can see he eats very well, his coat is so shiny!
This meal looks incredible, Derek!! Definitely going to try this roasted tofu recipe (and all the rest, YUM!). Frankie warms my heart with her love of tofu…I love it too, Frankie.
Difficult to get that type of Tofu in the UK. Any type is expensive! So lovely that you gifted to friends, that was refreshing to see! And Frankie - what a gorgeously stunning Lab! ❤
Looks spectacular and I've learned a lot of things new today - but I've been using a tofu press for 17 years and I realize after watching you that I'm pressing the heck out of it - and making it much thinner than it needs to be! I'm going to press with my hands from now on so I have thicker, juicier slices - thank you!
I've learned so much from you. Never knew I could bring wonderful dishes to MY table! I truly wish I saw this recipe for new years! Looks like i'll have to whip these up for a random celebration instead! Thank you for sharing so much with us
Derek, you are amazing! Love your style😊 I am fairly new to vegan, well Plant-based eating. Love tofu, and I can't wait to try this meal, gravy n all☺️ I'm watching the oil, but I can make it work. Thank you for sharing. I've shared this vid with family n friends✌🏽💚
Wow, another looking and tasting incredible meal. I may not like you about cleaning up, but my problem is my kitchen counter is so small if I don’t clean as I go, I would be in a lot of trouble. And also all dishes have to be washed before we sit down at the table to eat, it makes the meal more enjoyable, knowing there is not gonna be a huge cleanup. thank you for sharing this awesome meal and also alternatives for those of us that don’t use oil. Love seeing Frankie also enjoying, she has the most beautiful coat which means you’re doing good!
I absolutely love watching you cook. Creative, flavorful food. I’m so glad I found you on youtube. I have a question that I hope you’re willing to answer: what kind of wood do you use for your chopping block?
I only recently found your channel and am thrilled! Although a vegetarian, I am eating more vegan these days. Tried this recipe and it was quick, easy and delicious. I cheated by roasting potatoes and carrots as well. Loved it!
I never ate tofu until you came along and showed us it’s versatility! Now I love it…❤Thank you.🙏🏻
It’s such a good canvas to take any which way. Thanks for watching Sarah
My question is, what do you eat/do during the 20% wicked?? ☺️
🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 wonderful. Now check out chocolate cream pie made with silken tofu. I make scrambled (eggs) tofu with silken tofu. It’s a go-to of mine!
@@jobubbled I’ve been thinking the same thing.
@@jobubbledI’m thinking the 20% wicked is a cocktail or some beers with it

I count going vegan one of the best decisions I've ever made. 8 years in, still learning and loving finding new recipes. TY!

Me too. Five years. Feeling great.
I'm raised vegetarian. If I had been born in some other country any other family I know I'd have become vegan anyways. It's like a calling for me

80% healthy, 20% wicked is a pretty good design for life ; ) Food looks great. Thanks for posting : )
You are one of the very few people I've seen use the knife tip technique for cutting broccoli to prevent floret mess and waste. THANK YOU.

It's so good! And can be adapted. Thanks for watching
Me too.

Frankie’s an angel. Thanks for watching

Just tasty.
😂 It's a nutritious and healthy meal. Full of vitamins, minerals, protein
@@theflixcapacitor1372
Yeah, right.
@@nikos-giorgos it's more nutritious and healthy than the average American eats.
Switch! The best thing you will ever do. Your whole body will rejoice!
i personally freeze a bunch of firm tofu before hand as prep, i love the texture so much
Do you press it before freezing??
@@lisagiuliani8167 nope, with freezing that step is unnecessary :)

In Japan, tofu taste different from here in the U.S. they are much sweeter and creamier. I wish people taste those.
We’d love to. Some tofu makers should aim for the creative market.
I would love to taste Japanese tofu. Really, I'd like to visit Japan.
They have many kind of tofu. They generally like silk type of textures. They are creamy, nutty, slightly sweet, but savory. I cannot exactly describe the mouth texture, but it's smooth, creamy, soft but somehow it's firm, strangely. It can be a delicacy during the hot summer time as a good filling side dish! I miss that a lot!
That looks amazing! I'm thinking that topping would be great layered into the tofu.
It'd be good for a crumbed pie topping for sure

Looks spectacular and I've learned a lot of things new today - but I've been using a tofu press for 17 years and I realize after watching you that I'm pressing the heck out of it - and making it much thinner than it needs to be!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching you cook! I have been trying different ways of using tofu, thanks to watching you!
I love tofu....but have not thought of this crust. Will be trying this for sure. Maybe even tonight!!!
Thanks for watching.
Wow, another looking and tasting incredible meal. I may not like you about cleaning up, but my problem is my kitchen counter is so small if I don’t clean as I go, I would be in a lot of trouble. And also all dishes have to be washed before we sit down at the table to eat, it makes the meal more enjoyable, knowing there is not gonna be a huge cleanup. thank you for sharing this awesome meal and also alternatives for those of us that don’t use oil. Love seeing Frankie also enjoying, she has the most beautiful coat which means you’re doing good!
I absolutely love watching you cook. Creative, flavorful food. I’m so glad I found you on youtube. I have a question that I hope you’re willing to answer: what kind of wood do you use for your chopping block?
This looks yummy. I am new to using tofu, so I am always looking for recipes to try. I like how you showed the prep of an entire meal.
I only recently found your channel and am thrilled! Although a vegetarian, I am eating more vegan these days. Tried this recipe and it was quick, easy and delicious. I cheated by roasting potatoes and carrots as well. Loved it!
I love your videos so much! Thanks for being awesome!
To the point, really appreciate you style of presentation and have just subscribed🌻
Cant wait to make this! Thanks for sharing your creations with the world!
Definitely going to make this. Looks amazinggggg 🤩
How come that I have just discovered your YT channel? Finally someone who elevates vegan food. Can't wait to watch your other videos!
