Thank you all so much for sending this recipe to me! Let me know if you try it/ how you put your own spin on it (I added bbq sauce and I’m in love 😻)
im up in canada and this is Canada Day weekend and alli have done is binge aria's videos and half done binging on your food videos. This weekend yound lady you have convinced me to set 2 days a week to eat vegan meals from your huge collection of cool recipes but my favorite meal is beef sheppards pie with cream corn instead of veggies, if you can help i thank you so very much.
I think doing this as fried chicken would be great. A Japanese type coating.
I would really love to see you get creative, not just trying out other people' recipes or making some veganized version of mac and cheese, pizza, lasagna and similar super SAD food.
Your shirt is really cool!!!
TRY VEGAN TACOS OUT OF CARROTS!!! SAUCE STACHE MADE THEM AND THEY LOOK AMAZING!!!
I've been digging the lemon grass as bones lately!!!! Merle! Yours came out so much better than my version haha
You guys should collab ❤
(or cook off 😈)
I’m honestly shocked to hear that, you’re like a scientist in the kitchen! I saw you doing some wild things with carrots recently 👀
Can you try some of Sauce Stache’s recipe… not that I don’t trust you Stache
You've used another tipe of soy skin I think
Collab please!!!!
I love how once upon a time people used to make fun of Chinese food for using weird ingredients like bean curd and tofu skins and now they are all using it 😂 It's great!
Yep, it makes me feel really proud of being part of the really diverse chinese culture!
@@fireflieer2422 Hell yeah!! Chinese culture is so rich and diverse. Also we've been making tofu and seitan for thousands of years and now the west is catching up 🤣
China has been well ahead to the rest of the world for ages. Created soy milk during the period 25 - 230 AD and seitan around 500 - 700 AD and soy sauce (a stable ingredient in east-asian cuisine) was even created B.C. I think it’s fair to say China should get the credit they deserve.
@@Elegantwoes In some respects it's well ahead of the rest of the world. In others it's far, far behind
@@daxrico266 I was primarily talking about food, but yeah, you are right.
This is like "soya chaap"
It's a soy based street food popular in india. All the chicken recipes can be replicated with it and I love it. Just tell the vendor not butter and you have yummy vegan chicken.
I love being vegan in india
Definitely the best place to be vegan!
i love soya chaap!
I was looking for someone to mention this 🙌🙌🙌
I make soya chap all the time , it's a great alternative to protein and the texture is very similar to chicken.
Has little to no commonality with soya chaap -texture or taste wise. It just looks little similar. Very different things.
This is called soya chaap in india you get this already made on the stick ready to cook. Also a lot of street food options using soya chaap as a meat substitute is available for vegetarians.
India is always steps ahead when it comes to vegetarian and vegan friendly recipes
Soya chaap is made with soy chunks which is soy flour. This is the skin of soy milk. Slightly different ingredient.
@@reena9334 it actually comes in both forms. I've had both.
Thank YOU sooo much Merle❤️ love you adding the how to make Yuba in this video. Such a delicate process🥰 many many thanks 💕
Us Chinese has a dish called 'suji' which literally means vegan chicken, that is also made of tofu skin
Man we can find this mock chicken drumsticks at almost any vegetarian joint here in Malaysia. I need to be more thankful for what we have lol. This looks like a lot of work
It's a pretty common street food in India!!! I love eating it!!!!
There are so many flavors as well like Chilli chaap, KFC style chaap, tandoori chaap and many more
this is so cool!!
hello
It blew my freakin mind 🤯 I’d seen people trying it all over the internet but I have to say I was shocked at how tasty it actually is
I think adding liquid smoke and smoked paprika to the seasoning of the yuba would help with the overall flavor too! :)
Oh my god. I finally know what that layer of 'skin' is that occasionally appears in my soy milk when I microwave it for hot chocolate! XD
I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!!
make a vegan "chicken" out of tofu, or seitan. the best "chicken" you can make. then, wrap that baby in this and the grill it. that makes all the appropriate chicken layers
Yes
I've been waiting for someone to do this.
I want to see you and Rachel do a $3 smoothie vs $30 smoothie!! Or something similar...
When she said “ I don’t know what street” I died 😭
to prevent the unwrapping of the drumsticks you can simply use rice paper for spring rolls to bind it a bit better and it can mimic the texture of skin too.
That's an amazing idea!!!!
this recipe has been around Asia for years now
since my mom's vegetarian we see this quite often in vegetarian restaurant
but i just love tofu skin (tauki) in general esp with soups
Lawd, you are entertaining. I laughed a couple of times and smiled more than not. 😊 Thank you for your energy!
I love that you make all of your vegan food. It's so much better than buying these at the market with all the preservatives and you use better ingredients! I loveeee tofu skin!
Tofu skins are my absolute favourite tofu. I had no idea i could get them to make at home, they’re my go-to at restaurants 🤤
Omg I love that you're wearing a Beer Lao shirt!!!
I loooove tofu skin!!! They are my favorite in hotpot. So glad you love the texture too. This is making me want to go out to buy some right now.
I was just gonna mention the hotpot thing
Looks great thank you for introducing tofu skin to me never heard of it before and can’t wait to try!
These are delicious and you can marinate them using your favourite marinate too. Yumm
Thanks, Merle, I can't wait to try this!
Looks so tempting love you my girl Merle ❤️❤️
This reminds me of when Emmy made these a while back! 😍
merl it was really relieving to hear you singing the song after plastic bag cause i do it too so thanks
Cool! And unlike a lot of other creative vegan recipes that use mushrooms, cauliflower, etc., these have a lot of protein, so are likely to be a lot more satiating!
Next time I recommend tossing the in different bowls like at wings stop so you have a variety of dried and wet seasoning 👸🏽this was such a good idea and I loved the vibes here per usual 🐒
we need arias review of it!!
You are amazing and also your receipts. Thank you so much for inspiration 😘
Addicted... Periodt
I'm not even vegan and I love these kinds of recipes. Tofu is amazing.
@Potato tofu is pretty bland on its own, but very versatile. I’m thinking of maybe starting to make mine from scratch instead of buying
These are actually super good not to many people sell these so they’re expensive glad I can make them myself
Woah! Very cool, Merle! Soy is so versatile
Great video. The only thing I did differently from what you did was not add the salt. The vegetable bouillon has enough that I don't think it needed the extra salt. Great execution though.
LOVE YOUR SHIRT! Proud Laotian over here 🇱🇦
Cool shirt. Got a similar one in faded purple when I visited Laos way back in 2008.
I made them, as well, but I fried them. Scrumptious! Worth learning to get the wrapping down. She’s legit my favorite!
It’s good to know that I don’t have to have and air fryer to make these!!!
Merle trying new recipes for us like🙌🏻
I love vegan chicken! I'm not vegan, and I used to love chicken, until my idiot brother started grossing me out by pointing out blood vessels in a chicken wing. 🤢 Luckily, my mom made a dish very similar to this all the time while I was growing up, and now I make it all the time. Nowadays I get my chicken fix with this, seitan, and oyster mushroom nuggets.
I’m vegan now but I absolutely feel you with the blood vessels and stuff. When I was still eating meat, if I saw things like I would always pick at it. I also haven’t tried oyster mushrooms but that sounds interesting!!
@Yasin Jadauji 😁😁 And I wanna join it! Honestly, my problem is by-products. Like, I can swap out milk and honey with almond milk and agave, but I can't give up cheese yet... And I haven't found any alternatives that come close 😭
@@lesmercredis agave is actually REALLY awful for the environment. Go with maple syrup
@@lesmercredis then keep the cheese and byproducts and ditch the rest! You can still search for good alternatives to it in the meantime.
I'm like you too, except I don't like cheese, but I still eat byproducts (I'm eliminating them step by step right now). It's still a HUGE win for the environment and the animals.
Either way, thank you so much for not eating chicken anymore, you are awesome :D Keep up the good work and try cutting out the other stuff too as far as it's possible for you right now.
I personally hate the texture of meat but I still eat it some of it.I feel like vegan recreation of meat dishes is weird. You want to replicate the taste of meat without eating it? Shouldn’t the taste of flesh be nasty regardless?
This looks really yummy great video Merle!
I’ve seen a few people around the internet make “corned beef” out of celery root. Maybe you could try that some time? I don’t have a specific recipe in mind, but I’m sure you can find a few on the Google machine 🤓
She did already make vegan shawarma and fish and chips out of celery root :)
Hey Merle, I would really appreciate it if u could try Soya Chaap, a dish from India,which is kinda similar, its much easier to make and found premade in amazon
Most people watching this aren't even vegan🤣🤣
how do you know?
Difficult to know I think. How do you know if I am vegan or not?
Not vegan, but like to watch Goodful content here! 🙋♂️
Also non vegan but trying to eat less meat and more veg friendly diet. Love this channel 👌🏼
Yup! I'm over here eating my chicken dinner 😂. I just find Merle to be very entertaining.
eating vegan drumsticks and watching the video, in Singapore, we can just buy them from vegetarian/vegan stalls
Wah so cool
Could you try to put either tofu or Sai tan on the drumstick (for the meaty part) and use rice paper or tofu skin as the “chicken” skin? Or maybe you could even use Jackfruit as the meat
Love this... I have been eating this at my local buddhist temple since I was little
I've been waiting for this video! So glad you made it, Merle! And it looked so good. Does anyone know where to find tofu skins? I've never seen them in any grocery stores here in the States.
Try an Asian grocery store :)
@@smudge8882 Oh, thanks! 😊
@@mollyscozykitchen4693 No problem! My partner's family is from China and that's how they get a lot of their traditional ingredients. I very much recommend checking out all the different produce there. :)
As a laotian, LOVE THE TSHIRT
The concept looks super cool
Not a fully vegan story, but I used to go Years ago to a dim sum place that had shrimp fritter things served on sugar cane pieces. The sugar cane added flavour and had it's own juiciness.
Theyd be a great "bone" in recipes 😍
Merrllll! Love watching u make vegan foodiesss! Ur sooo bubbly!! And cute!!
A Sauce Stache version of Vegan "Fried Chicken." Good job Merle.
the beer lao shirt is a whole vibe!! 😌🇱🇦
These tofu skins are really good in cold salads with herby, spicy, cilantro-ey vinaigrette. Cut them like thin noodles and mix in onions, carrots, leafy greens and optional seaweed.
aaaa looks delicious!! I haven't had tofu skin crisped up like that before
Try making vegan calamari with konyaku jelly!
You can get this easily in Malaysia ❤️
I don't think either has been done before but I would LOVE to see you try to make Vegan Tuna Noodle Casserole (this person allergic to all seafood would be highly grateful) OR a classic Pie a la mode (but made vegan- its summer! use that fruit!)
It was really hard from the preview to tell whether she liked it or not 😂. I skipped forward to get the reaction surprised to see 9.5. I had saved this recipe on Tik Tok when the original creator put it out with the intention to try it later, but I had completely forgot about it! Now I will definitely give it a try.
That looks soooooooo good omg
Loved this
1:18 Merle, it's DRIFTING through the wind
I have only ever used fresh yuba skins to cook with. I wonder if that may have worked out better and been half the time.
Thee Burger Dude made an awesome looking vegan Italian roast beef sandwich out of tofu skins. If you have any skins left, I'd be great if you could make it for Aria to try, too! 😋
Love your show. I just wanted to see if you knew about compostable cling wrap as an alternative to the conventional stuff…
I made vegan "duck" with the tofu skin using 5 spice and plum sauce for our Christmas dinner. It's good but the fried yuba is really oily so add some salads and sides.
I would use a scallion / green onion instead of sugar cane etc and just eat the whole thing 😂😋
Me too!!
It's reminding me of sate lilit from Bali since Merle uses lemongrass
I had those vegan chicken drums in Malaysia. Both Thailand and Malaysia have Buddhist vegetarian eating places whose quality and service range from very basic, though the quality of the food is always very high but you may have to sit on plastic stools and may have to share your table with others. Many are self service and you pay according to the quantity you put in your plate. They are the original creators of mock meat and fish. If you have the chance, it would be great to spend a few weeks in South East Asia to try their healthy and delicious food and don't forget a cameraman, you'll get plenty of ideas! I would love to watch a series where you travel around the world hunting for great vegan food!
💖😄🤗😁😍😊😉
Gurl please u hated it 😂😂😂 your face said it all.
looks similar with Sate Lilit from Bali, Indonesia
"Going to keep going this till the cows come home" 😂😂😂
Awesome shirt! Haven't had Beer Lao since I was in Laos which was in 2012.
It looks so good I want to try it!
Sooooo cool thanks for sharing. You are awesome. Subscribing, liking, and commenting. Rock on
That's very similar to soya chaap which is made of soy and is extremely popular in India.
That Beer Lao shirt is fire
Great! Thank you, where can we get the skins?
Asian food markets
@@bazli83 thank you!!!!
I don't understand why people try to replicate meat when they are trying to be vegan, simply go for good vegetables, fruits, eggless breads or rice simple!
You don't understand why people like to cook or eat foods they like (taste, texture, etc.)?
Omg I need to try this!
I am in Australia and I am trying so hard to find giant yuba . Can you please tell me exactly what the brand and what it is called please. I may be able to order it on Amazon or find it in the city near me. Thanks so much :)
Love the Beerlao shirt!
I'm a vegetarian (but I only eat ghee) and I suggest to try Indian dishes..since most of the Indian are vegetarians you would have plenty of mouthwatering dishes and street foods..you'll never go back or think of meat... and they are very healthy...most of the dishes are a mix of pulses,veggies, lentils, sprouts etc....
They actually look good
Japanese food is so amazing!!
This looks similar to Soya chaap( Indian vegan soy food). Soya chaap is really very tasty, do try it if it's available in your place.
French macarons!!
Yep this is what we eat as drumsticks on vegetarian days! Man haven't had this for so long
Being allergic to lemongrass this made me reeeeeeeal anxious. 😅
I showed my meat eater husband the pictures on instagram and asked him what he thought it was. He gave me weird look and said "chicken" like it was obvious! 👏🏻
Wow! Please could you tell me where do you buy the soya skin?
I was hoping we would get a taste test cameo from Aria
I like your beer lao shirt!
I'm just scrolling to find this comment!
@@thipphavanhvirakhom4955 Represent !! 🙏😁
Sad that Ari didn't get to try it
i wanna try this!
Beerlaoooo 🙌🙌🙌 ❤️ (sorry I got excited :D )
I wish aria tried some I like to see his opinion on it.
