Found out recently that this was your first attempt at making the videos yourself and that you are camera shy. May I say my friend that you cannot tell. You did a great job.
How to cook tofu if you can't watch hear the audio or too lazy to watch:
1) Turn skillet on med heat
2) Lil bit of refined coconut oil (extra virgin one will make tofu absorb it's taste)
3) Throw tofu cuts on and throw a little bit of sea salt, pepper, paprika (more spices later, on other side when you turn it around)
4) Cook for 10 min, also put a plate or something on top, so it will push it down a lil bit (make sure you don't use anything with rubber, etc) (watch the hands when you go turn it around, it gets hot)
5) After 10 min, turn around and put more sea salt, chilli powder and little bit of cumin. (optional) put some hot sauce. I'm going to try sweet chilli sauce today.
6) After putting the spices on, leave for around 3-4 min only.
7) Turn it over again (back to first side you cooked on), and turn off the skillet and just let it sit until it cools off.
8) Eat it. (you can put it in the refrigerator and it will make it into perfect strips)
haha thank you!!
Hey, just wondering how long you can keep it in the refrigerator so that it's still good to eat?
Henry Parkin The usual 2-3 days.
maybe this is a dumb question... but if you decide to put it in the refrigerator, are you meant to eat it cold? i don't see why to put it in the fridge
+Emily Newman , kinda is..... he literally explained that at the end. You can use it in a salad or a packed lunch but you can also heat it up again...
IT'S JARED LETO
ummmm, nooooo
I was thinking that too
No, he is better looking than Jared Leto.
I can't unsee it.
yeah, at first I kept looking at him like *there is somefin bout him that is catching my eye* then immediately I yelled *OHMYGUSH IT TIS JARED!!!* he even sounds like him
Ive been vegan for just over 2 years and oddly enough Ive never had tofu before. I am going to try this out soon, thanks for sharing!
***** I've been vegan 5 years and never had tofu but I want to give it a try after seeing this recipe!
cathryn973 Right!
***** I had tofu before, but this recipe sounds delicious!!
LoL . . . My cat popped up from a dead sleep when the cat meowed, started looking around for the cat.
LOL!
SO. GOOD. Actually the best tofu I've ever had.
+urbanburglary Awesome!
Sammeee
yes mine was so good
That man bun is giving me life & so is this tofu!
The chili powder sprinkle was perfection by the way
Aw thanks!
I'm just being my journey of a more enlighten and aware person, and this is the first vegan video I seen and use. Your humor and light Sensibility, makes me know I'm following the right path. Thank You
Love watching you present, Chris! Totally making this tofu this week, you guys rock.
Gina Marie Thanks Gina!
"A little bit of pepper" *adds half a bottle*
Karie Salimger thought I was the only one that noticed that lol 😂😂
Thanks! I will definitely have to try this. I recently had a bad experience with some tofu cubes in my Chinese takeout that were like eating gelatinous lotion. You have renewed my interest!
Julia Rogers Exactly, there are so many easy ways to mess up tofu. BUT, there are easy ways to make it delicious too!
***** I have definitely messed up my share of tofu. Have yet to have it turn out good both in taste and texture. I might get brave and give this a go.
You helped the world by posting this. So many people know nothing about tofu, but want and need to learn.
Yep. Just subscribed. You will make my transition to veganism MUCH easier! Keep doing what you do please!
Carter Brown Thank you! You can do it :)
YUM! I love the way I make it but your way looks pretty darn yummy too. I'll try it! It was fun seeing you in front of the camera cooking Chris!
Watched this again. Made the tofu and it's amazing! Thank you. I needed a new way to cook tofu. Excellent video.
Yay! A new way to make tofu!! We joke here and call it SSNF because the first time I cooked tofu my 4 yo was not interested. Once I said it was Super Secret Ninja Food she was in, and the name has stuck!!
Lol Jen. Perfect!
Plant-Based Cheapskate Haha, see, you just have to present it in a different way. :)
Plant-Based Cheapskate I love that....SSNF! :)
Just made this for the second time, albeit with a couple slight variations: subbed olive oil for coconut (only had unrefined on hand) and sriracha for Frank's. Amazingly delicious - I could have eaten the entire batch, but had to stop myself at half.
As a relatively new vegan (~3 months) your channel is a godsend of great and easy meal ideas. Subscribed, and I will be ordering the cookbook
Hell YES I am making this today for lunch. Oh man!! Gonna make a lemon and garlic dressing to drizzle over the top. You know you have the same type of energy as John! ! You are very enjoyable to watch! You guys should do some vids together!!
i thought you were wiping down the stove top with the tofu for a second there hahaha
Still one of my absolutely favorite videos!! And my tofu still turns out perfect!!
i personally eat mostly raw veggies, soups, and salads...but i think this is an AMAZING channel for those people making the transition into being vegan makes it a lot less "scary" you could say...the fact that a vegan philly-cheese steak does exist makes it a lot more comforting for the new vegan....these are the videos i send to my sister on a daily basis hoping she will cook them a few times a week and eventually make the switch
I just tried this recipe! And seriously... I feel like my life has officially changed for the better forever. This is like the day I found out google has native support for GIF SEARCHES.
I foresee tofu tacos in my near future. 😄
Mmm tofu tacos...
LOVE THAT YOU SHARE IDEA'S
I went back and searched out this video to cook some tofu to have in the fridge for salad and wraps. And this is my favorite to watch! That finger snap was life!! And my tofu turned out amazing and I love It this way!!
"Okay you stuck around..." I love you guys ❤️❤️
Thanks for the tips!
:)
Just want to add that I totally love all your videos. It's hard out here in the zombie apocalypse, but at least I am eating well!
So I'm beyond thrilled because I just bought tofu...same one you showed...and I had no idea what to do with it. As I googled, I saw all these complicated recipes, freezing it and since I am not a cook, I was not a happy camper. NOW I know what to do. And I like the fact that I can make it all at once and then put the rest in the fridge for the week....and there are no fancy recipes. I'm not a cook and don't follow recipes...have no interest really. But I do like to eat healthy so this did the trick for me. I just bought Tempeh too, and I am hoping you have a cooking video just as simple as this one. Kudos and thanks for making it soooo easy!
Thanks for all your vids! They're informative and funny, good stuff man. You got a subscriber. 👍
Love this! So simple. I can’t wait to try it. No one has simple ways to tofu and this is it!
Best tofu I've ever had. Been using it on vegan pad thai and other rice noodle dishes. Thanks for this VZ!!!!
I used a different variation of this recipe, where instead of cutting it length wise, I cut it just how I cut my spam. And for the seasoning, I used pretty much the same seasoning as the Egg Trick Muffin video from a long time ago. It works and taste wonders.
But not I soak the extra firm tofu in soy sauce, onions, and lemon juice to add in more flavors to it. I recommend giving that a try
This is one of the first commuter food videos I ever watched and I can attest now with lots of experience that after it cools down it is better texture wise
I love seasoning mine with seasoning salt cook them until desired crispness, then top them with bbq sauce, and leave them on the skillet until the bbq sauce drys up a little. Sometimes I serve them in a sandwich or just with some potatoes and veggies. If you like bbq ribs you will love this recipe.
I just subscribed to you because you're so cool.. definitely gonna make this, thanks!!
I just found your channel and you're so entertaining and funny!! Just cooked tofu for the first time tonight and it came out perfect. Thanks for the tips! :D
CHRIS YOU ARE FABULOUS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
Man I just discovered your channel while thinking about how to cook tofu while I was watching some BO3 gameplay, and saw your name as The Vegan Zombie and thought, "Holy shot how perfect" and instantly subbed! Awesome channel name, vegan and zombie in the same name!
I'll definitely be trying this. I usually marinate my tofu in water, soy sauce, garlic powder and liquid smoke, bake in oven then refrigerate.
The first tofu that I actually enjoyed. Went from avoiding tofu to making this recipe 3 times in the past month. Great tip! Thanks!!
This is the first video I have ever seen of this channel, and I'm hooked! Subscribed and I know I'm going to spend the next three hours going through all your channel content :P (making tofu tonight)
I've made my tofu like you guys did in the bipmbap (not even gonna try to spell that) recipe. it works great for everything! I put them in my hashbrown and Vegan cheese breakfast sandwiches as the "egg" and use them in burritos all the time now :)
Also just wanna say that you're gonna make my life so much better and easier with your recipes because I got bored eating mostly rice, beans and bread for every meal!
check out the Vegan Corner and Cooking with Plants, both in RUclips. great recipe channels.
I am SO glad I stumbled upon this channel. Pretty much any time I use tofu, I fuck it up. Only time it came out okay was in miso soup... Because you literally drop chunks into a pot and let it boil...
And here I thought I had to press the liquid out. I learn so many bonus tips from your channel. Thanks again.
Yes!!! Happy to see you cookin', Chris!
Michael Harren :)
+The Vegan Zombie update: this technique has altered the course of my sandwich making for the foreseeable future.
+Michael Harren LOL!
This tofu is just like the one from your bibimbap video, and having made that pretty much a staple in my life, I can vouch for how good the tofu is! I used to press my tofu, but the consistency and texture that comes from this method really is the best. Using the fridge-cooled tofu the next day really firms it up nicely
Acmallsb40 Yes, exactly! But a lot of people still wanted to know so here's a video on just tofu. Yes, the fridge method results in the perfect texture. :)
I'm out of coconut butter. I'm making it tonight with olive oil and McCormick salad supreme and Tabasco. I'll probably eat a slice or two with stringbeans. Then, fridge the rest for salad. I like your style. Cool video!
Made this without the coconut oil and chili powder, I put it in a sandwich with kale, tomato slices and cucumber with hummus on each slice of the multigrain bread. It was quick, delicious and pretty nutrious.
Haha dude you're funny!! I just found your channel & I'm now a new subscriber 👍🏽thanks for the video I will definitely try this!
this really helped me! been struggling with tofu for a while can never seem to get it right but just whipped up a load and it turned out delicious!
thank you for that video, I bought tofu yesterday and had no idea how to cook it even after reading the cooking instructions ! I was on the verge of throwing it away until I was saved by this video see ya, off to cook tofu !!
IT. TASTES. LIKE. GRILLED. CHICKEN. it is so damn good
Great tofu recipe by a chef with a great looking beard... what more can a Vegan girl ask for?! :D
Wow! Long time vegan here and I've never thought to try this method! I normally press the hell out of mine beforehand and it's the most annoying step. I can't wait to try this!
I haven't made tofu in a while because i've been bored of my own recipes. definitely going to try this!
i prefer to marinate in soy sauce ginger etc. then squeeze to drain, cornstarch and flour coat and fry. toss in spicy sauce (like orange sauce or wok sauce) and eat with rice :} another way that works is, squeeze out raw tofu cubes, bake in a small bit of oil and soy sauce until golden on low only at about 300 or less heat for 30 min, then its ready to put into a sauce to finish.
Great video! I love tofu but i am terrible at preparing it! Excited to try this.
I added some soy sauce instead of salt, and I added curry powder. The hot sauce and smoked paprika really adds to the great taste too. Mmmmmmm sooo goooood!
First video of yours i've watched and your freakin genius!!! Love it! Thank you
LOVE this! My first time making Tofu. I laughed so much. great energy. so thankful I found this channel ❤
Love this recipe. Next time I will use your tips. Thanks for sharing.
nice to see chris hosting!
It's great to grill tofu in a grill pan & let the tofu get brown crisscross grill marks
Spices are a matter of choice but try turmeric w/fennel & cumin -- white pepper & dried lemon
"It's going to make zombies come at you" 😅 lmao
I actually prefer the unrefined coconut oil when cooking tofu. But before going vegan i cooked my eggs in it . I love the coconut taste. And i just lightly coat a nonstick pan and pan fry my tofu and season it depending on what i'm going to use it for. And yes my great Pyrenees loves tofu. She eats half of the pack most of the time when we have some.
I just made this for a sandwich. Pretty good! Really nice texture.
Super fun to see Chris cooking!!
Thank you. I just recently made the move to vegetarianism. I've been eating tofu just plain out of the box cold......not very tasty. I was looking for a method to give it more of a 'meat like' consistency, Your method is easy to do and works well. Thanks again.
Those happen to be my favorite spices which leads me to believe I'd love this! haha
Yaaaas. Nice to see you doing vids!!
Woah, I’ve finally tried this recipe and it’s BOMB! It’s a game changer! Thank you!
this video made my day!!!! looks delicious, thanks for posting
Thanks for the entertaining tip. Trying this method tonight!
I just made this recipe, and I have to say it was pretty darn good. I replaced hot sauce with siracha and it did the trick!
I used this recipe with just salt, pepper and a bit of turmeric, and then dressed them up like egg sandwiches with garlic Vegenaise, tomato and lettuce. Simply AMAZING!
oh I'm gonna have to try that
Yum! Thank you for this variation. We're making this tonight!!!
Kimiko McEachern You're welcome, enjoy! :)
This was so entertaining! Thank you so much for your insight and making it so easy and fun to follow along in the kitchen. You've just earned yourself another subscriber! :)
Great job Chris and the Indy get the award for best supporting actor! Did he like the tofu?
***** He does love tofu. He ate the piece that fell on the ground. :)
Still come back everytime to this video
Thanks for this! I’m going to roll it up in some rice papers with veggies and peanut sauce for dinner tonight! Thanks!
brilliant video x great fun to watch and listen x do you have any recipes for the silken tofu please ? the really soft stuff ? but not scrambled anything 😱
Definitely going to try this! Looks really nice.
Can't get "cooking with the vegan zombie" out of my head while cooking 😂😂😂
this is delicious!!!!
Great video! Looks so good & can't wait to try it!
I tried it. Just now. Sooooo good.
Made this today for part of dinner! Absolutely delicious! Thank you!
This one's a winner at our house! Thanks for the video! :)
Making tofu this evening. First time cooking it, first time eating it.
Me too
animekdramakpopfood How'd you like it?
+Poohbi e I guess she didn't liked it
Nicole Slade how was it ?
yummy! i crisped mine a bit on high heat for about a minuet to get the nice crisp slice 😍
You are such a doll. Can't wait to try cooking it like this.
I want more Chris ...love u guys!
Well, geez. I'm a new-ish vegan who had given up on tofu, and then I did this. Delicious. Thank you.
Sounds great, but I have two questions. 1) Are you saying not to press the tofu first? 2) If I don't want to use coconut oil what other oil do you recommend? Extra virgin olive oil?
I got an ad where they are cooking murdered shrimp before the video. : S
Awesome video! Tofu is life!
I love all of your video’s but this is my favorite!
I'll try this. Tofu often has a bland (sometimes even revolting) flavour and a really horrible texture. This stuff looks good.
Looks amazing! Will definitely try this
slaytanicus fer life Thanks!
missed Indy and your videos. a microwave grill pan also works really well.
