Tofu that looks like Chicken Meat | How to make Tofu "Meat" | Crispy Tofu Katsu Recipe

- Опубликовано: 16 ноя 2020
- Hey Foodies! This Tofu Katsu is more of a comfort food than diet food. It’s a bit like a veggie twist on chicken nuggets, or schnitzel, using tofu instead of meat. This is a vegetarian version of classic Japanese Tonkatsu, usually made with chicken or pork. Served with steaming rice, thinly sliced cabbage and homemade tonkatsu sauce, this dish makes a fantastic comfort food.

I tried this yesterday and it turned out super delicious! My family also loved it (: Thank you!!
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
@@GreyWhiteBlue I personally didn’t think it was mushy! Though, since I’m vegan, I did not use egg. Instead, I made a coating using flour and water as a substitute. I don’t know whether it affected the texture, but it worked just fine and still very delicious (:
In case if you’re (or anyone here is) vegan, you can make it by just mixing equal parts flour and water! (I added some black pepper and salt to it.)
@@GreyWhiteBlue Right. I wonder why...
Hi, depending on the quality of the tofu, you may also want to try to double freeze it after every thawing and pressing your tofu 😊
@@GreyWhiteBlue question what firmness of tofu did you use? That might be it. For chewier items I hear super firm tofu is the best to use
No need to use eggs. I usually use a vegan yogurt like oat or soy yogurt, mixed with a little bit of water and some black salt, and it makes a perfect dredge.
great! good to know. i am intollerant to eggs so I was thinking how to replace them 🧐. Thanks for the tip
thank you !!
Thank you!
Please use lots of eggs and real chicken
Chickpea flour works great too! Gotta have that kala namak.
Important to note that the tofu you need to get this texture is I believe called 'Silken Firm' not the usual Firm Tofu available in most shops in the UK, for example, which goes spongey.
You should be able to get this texture with Cauldron brand tofu. I've had a lot of success with it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊
You might be able to get a similar effect by freezing the tofu first
@@ceniloar My understanding is that freezing the tofu has more to do with drawing out moisture and firming it up. The ice formation also makes it separate into chunks more readily.
The flaky texture on the other hand is due to how the bean curd is pressed. It just comes down to trying the same or similar firmness with different brands, and inspecting their texture. (Mary's test kitchen recommended looking for tofu that's labeled as traditional style)
Freezing, thawing and pressing it twice or 3 times will get that super flaky texture 😊
The intro - That tofu "chicken" looks so much like the real thing !
Delicious recipe.
For those who are wondering, it is indeed "firm tofu" and not "silken tofu" but not that of your Biocoop like those in Europe.
This tofu is too compact.
This is "Asian" firm tofu that you will only find in the Asian supermarket.
This firm tofu is soaked in a liquid and can be bought in the chilled section. I struggled to find the right tofu to find this texture :)
For vegetarians you can replace the anchovy worcestershire sauce with balsamic vinegar and tamarind paste (in equal measure) which gives almost the same taste.
The eggs can be replaced by flour and water in equal parts too...
For better flavors soak the tofu for a good half hour in a cold vegetable broth before pressing it first.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts 😊 really appreciated
My daughter just walked by and saw this. I guess this is lunch for tomorrow😊 It’s so beautiful!
Thank you so much! Happy cooking! 😊
Maybe mallory isn't a bad parent 🤔
@@pilapila183 Shhhh.
This is one few vids where tofu itself is transformed
Amazing
Cheers! Thank you
The song at the breading and frying portion is a hit 😭
It kept me dozing off.
Does anyone know the name of that song abd the artist?
I had Covid in November and my tastebuds have been on and off. At first I wasn’t able to taste at all, now 2 weeks ago I cannot handle the taste or smell of meat or certain dairy products. I’ve only been able to eat seafood but I wanted to find other alternatives, one being tofu. I’m so thankful for the recipes you put together because they look like the real deal. I’ll be trying more in the future😊.
Thank you, hoping your doing good!
heyyy, I'm experiencing the same thing now. are you still experiencing it now?
Great recipe (minus the eggs)! Personally I soak the tofu in vegetable broth for a few minutes after getting all the water out and it sucks up all that flavor. Then when you bite in, its like juicy meat.
Thank you for sharing! 😊😊😊
I'll try that, as it's quite bland, thanks for the time saving tip!
Will definitely try this Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this tip! Several years ago I discovered that cooking with vegetable broth (and especially reducing the broth through simmering) is the secret to developing amazing flavor in so many of the dishes I cook. But I never would’ve thought about soaking tofu in broth. I’ll definitely follow your suggestion.
what do u use in sub for the eggs
My family loves tofu and I love how you put everything together in one plate. Will definitely give this a try. Thank you for sharing💜💜💜
I just finished making this and it’s so delicious!!! Even my father who hates tofu, tried it and was amazed. Thank you :)
Wow!! Thank you so much! Glad to hear that 😊😊😊
You’re really good at this. Very inspiring and I like how clean and simple you are in your kitchen!
Thank you so much! Happy cooking! 😊
This is one of the most delicious and perfect meals I’ve ever made. What an amazing recipe!! 🤤 😋
Thank you so much! Happy cooking! 😊
Absolutely Beautiful! This looks so delicious! That second song along with the preparation was very relaxing.
That music was very nice. 😊
Definitely want to make this, with an egg substitute. Beautiful and love the music and great videography!
I loved chicken katsu and I went vegan, which makes me sad :( But thanks to your video I can make it happen! Can't wait to try it!
Thank you! Happy cooking! 😊
There's egg in this
If make you sad then you will stop! You still don’t understand the meaning of veganism
Vegan don't use eggs....
He probably means vegetarian not vegan
This great video was for me to see. I am on my journey...these quarantines has me improving my food palate on many levels Thanks so much!
Absolutely 😍 lovely video! Can hardly wait to try it. Thank you do much for sharing.
This looks really good! Will try this recipe
This looks easy, tasty and like the original version of the nu vegan chicken sandwich that I miss so much! Definitely trying this!!!
I am going to make this, I eat a lot of tofu, so I will happily add this to my menu ❤
I just love your videos. I love the pace I love the recipes I love the music and everything is so clear!
Thank you so much! Appreciated, 😊🙏 happy cooking!
Wow, I've had chicken katsu many times at alot of different restaurants but never tofu version this looks so good your a fantastic cook great recipe💋🥂🍾 I love it can't wait to try! Bon appetit.

Thank you for this video. Really enjoyed it . Food looks delicious 😋
Omg..I’m definitely going to make this amazing tofu dish! Thank you! 👍💕🌈
That looks so fricking delicious !!
I already know this tastes bomb with the chicken katsu sauce
Thank you! Your recipes are delicious.
Glad you like them!
Beautifu recipe, beautiful music !
*watching this at 3 a.m*
Me : "nobody's gonna know"
My imaginary friend : "they're gonna know"
Me : "Nobody's gonna know"
Oh no hahaha
Just got my groceries delivered and I can't wait to make this. Also I like your music.
Exquisito platillo buena combinación .
This is one of the best recipe I discovered from YT. Thanks so much. I can enjoy the crunch without eating pork!
Yey!! Happy cooking!!
I love tofu meat like this~~ Tofu recipe is good for me when I am not feeling well. I can imagine the taste will be delicious 😋 Have a wonderful day!!
Tofu is not meat...
@@Domi3454 You're right. Tofu is not carrion.
This music in this video is really tugging at my heart strings :’3
Yum😍 looks amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!
I just found your channel because I was looking for tofu recipes and I'm glad that I did. I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to more healthy videos.
Yey! Happy cooking!
こんちには。It was good to remove the water from the tofu. 👍 👍 👍 There are many tofu dishes in Japan.🌟
Thank you so much! Happy cooking! 😊
What would you recommend to sub instead of the worcestershire sauce to make it vegan?
Annie’s makes a vegan one, as well as some others. Check your local health food store if you can’t find it in a regular grocer. Or chk online.
Make sense. I'll check online. Lockdown makes shopping tough. :)
Just mix some lemon juice,hot sauce, and soy sauce with a daeh of sugar.
Looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
This is so cool. Thanks for sharing!! Will definitely try it out
Thank you so much! Happy cooking!
Good to know that there is a way but I think I prefer to walk just 3 min to get the vegan crispy chicken from my supermarket instead of two days preparation 😅
In the Katsudon recipe it tastes nearly the same 🙌
But for the next special occasion I would try this at least once just out of curiosity
Happy cooking! 😊
Would this still work if cooked in the oven instead of being fried?
Just an update, tried cooking in the oven for 10mins on each side, turned out great!
@@SmellyEllie895 Nice
I’d use my air fryer
THIS WAS AMAZINGGGGG tasted just like chicken I WAS SHOOK!!!!! Ugh Ima have to make this weekly 😊
Beautiful video, great recipe.
This looks so good! Unfortunately I’m vegan so I have to use an egg alternative
Yes, thank you! Happy cooking! 😊
There is nothing unfortunately about you being vegan. That's great! 😀
hey, im also vegan what did u use for the egg?
@@karinadelossantos8653 flax seed
I had given up on tofu until now just found you.
Woww thank you so much! :)
I love tofu! I will definatly try this out soon when we have the right tofu at home
I really enjoyed this!
Just to confirm, regular tofu is "soft" tofu and not "firm" tofu? That's the problem I'm afraid of having and the tofu chicken recipe. I can't get same level of texture as shown, when I press/freeze/press, the tofu texture is more like a sponge full of holes.
Yes, quality of the tofu may vary, to be safe, this is a regular tofu, a little bit softer than firm
Eggs in a tofu dish? *cries in vegan*
They may use egg substitutes for coating 😊
I know, what a low IQ move 😂
Lol, this is not a vegan recipe, but vegetarian
I come for the recipes AND to relax ~ thank you ~
Looks & sounds incredible
Welp, thought it was vegan until you used the egg lol 🥲
Yes, you may use vegan egg substitutes 😊
u can use a flax or chia egg
@@soscarlet thanks!
same lol
I bet a little chickpea flour and water would make a good slurry to coat the tofu and stick to the panko.
This is so good. Thank you!
The main reasons i get discouraged on making my own tofu dishes are knowing what brands and forms of tofu are best suited to attain the right textures i want in a meal! Looks great though! Makes me crave the real thing now lol! cheers
If you’ve never tried freezing your tofu, you’re in for a treat!
I can’t wait to try this.
Happy cooking! 😊🙌
