Yes freshly made tofu tastes sooo good. 😍And thnk you for just lightly patting the moisture. Idk why people squeeze all the moisture out and squish them with pans. 😂 Edit war zone in the comments 😅
@@madisonevans7950 Silken and firm tofu are different things. You can't dry out silken tofu or sundubu! Firm tofu can be dried on the surface so that it can brown when fried.
@@roses31375 which one? Tempeh just a product of soybeans so it tastes nutty but a lot firmer than tofu. Maybe cause the beans still retaining the shape while fermenting.
Freshly made tofu is so much better!! We usually coat it in breading and fry it, then we dip it in soy sauce with vinegar and chopped onion. Yuuuum! Now I want tofu 🤤
Try marinating it with garlic, salt, and water. That's how we typically make fried tofu in indonesia. Paired with sambal and kecap manis, an amazing budget meal👌
it doesn't taste like anything, a very mild soybean flavor if anything. tofu will soak any spice you used for cooking them. deep fried tofu is my recommendation ❤️
In my country, freshly made tofu are actually more common than the tofu available in that rectangular plastic. These fresh tofu are bought in public markets and they are placed in big piles or drums
There is a good dish here in Philippines we call it "Tokwangsisig" It's fried tofu with the sisig's taste which is made with White onion, oyster sauce, mayonnaise, green or red peppers and tofu. It's really savoury so it's good with rice
Siling haba (similar to jalapeno) & lots of onions are the key flavors here, I think. Also street style tokwa sisig is often made with Knorr seasoning. One of my fave simple vegan ulam
I’ve been wanting to find fresh tofu for so long! It’s really the only tofu that works for making fried tofu puffs (for my laksa cravings)! I love your videos jeanelle!
here in the Philippines it's very common for us to make tofu sisig. just small diced tofu mixed with oyster sauce, mayonnaise and red and green chillies
We buy fresh tofu from taho vendors whenever it's available. I love frying them as is without any spices and dipping them in toyomansi with onions. Besides the strong tofu flavor, I love the hint of sweetness fresh tofu has.
I literally just got done making Korean-style braised tofu (doobu-jorim) for my friend group, it’s one of the easiest yet tastiest ways that I enjoy tofu!
I buy fresh tofu often! It’s so good. Sometimes it almost has a sort of tea flavor. Although, I crave silken tofu sometimes, and that’s much harder to come by fresh in my area.
Besides America🤣 I’m writing down all these mouth watering Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, Mediterranean, and other dishes but I’ve never heard a commenter be like “America really does this right or makes the best _” haha we do have good candy but that’s all I can think of
@@qwertyhimym ur right, the United States doesn't have 1 particular food or dish, instead we have the best of all the cultures that came together to create "America".
Growing up in China. We had stores that only sell soya products. There were fresh tofu, fresh soya milk, and they sell the left over fibre bits after the milk has been extracted (which you can mix in flour to make mantou) good memories!
I used to buy fresh tofu when I lived in Korea and honestly I miss it so much. The taste difference, the texture difference, the quality difference was insane
I got myself a mesh frying pan cover for that reason, they're like 10 bucks on Amazon where I'm from. They also prevent your stove top from getting all greasy!!
my mom love these!! she will order one at least once a week, we buy tofu from a guy riding a motorcycle going around our neigbourhood every morning :))
Freshly made tofu is great!! We have them here in the philippines, they have a strong soybean taste and most of the time stinky and a bit sour. We fry them, and then put some vinegar and soy sauce with pepper, chili and fresh onions. Then we serve it with congee(lugaw).
Here in Indonesia, we have cubes of yellow tofu but the insides is still white tho. It's usually sold on motorcycles and shops, you can still find it on supermarket tho but I think the ones sold on motorcycles has more of an authentic taste. It tastes best when you just simply fry it or make an "tahu isi" which is bahasa for stuffed tofu by cutting the tofu in triangles and stuff the inside with seasoned mix of carrot and bean sprouts, dip it into a thick flour-water batter and then deep fry it until it's a little bit golden brown.
In Indonesia it's one of the most common and easiest foods to find. But because of that a lot of people don't see it as precious food, some of them even think that tofu is more like the food of lower economic folks since it's considered very cheap. But I personally love tofu and its best friend, called 'tempe', also made of soybeans. Sometimes I only saute them with some salt, garlic, pepper, and sweet soy sauce 🥺🥺
a fool proof way to try it is in korean soonduboo jigae. Lovely slightly spicy tofu stew. Both easy to find and easy to make if you cant find it. CAnt have it without a fresh egg thoo
@@tancy1660 halal means food Muslims are allowed to eat. In Islam you cannot eat pig, alcohol or animal not slaughtered in a certain way in name of Allah. Haram foods are not allowed. Halal are allowed.
Yesss it’s such a HUGE difference!! I always buy my fresh tofu at Hmart near me, it’s so worth it. Only thing is it doesn’t keep as long as the packaged tofu, but I like to keep both on hand :)
Ah Hmart. I like how they clip coupons for your and stick it near the price tag. I bought 15 pies for pie day at 1.29 per pie in 2015(super pi day 3.14.15) Allan Jackson did his 25th performance at the rodeo. Kroger had the best Grapefruit I had in my life on Jan 27th. They served grapefruit vodka at the karaoke bars. Houston is pretty cool.
i also eat tofu often, since in my country tofu is really cheap u can get freshly made tofu for less than 50 cent, sometimes we cook it in soup, just fry it or cook it with egg, also the variety of tofu in here are really much, there are special tofu from each region that had different flavor
You can marinate tofu with salt, minced garlic, and water or you can add little bit tumeric powder or corriander powder to make it more flavorful, and I usually deep fried the tofu with high heat so it will turn crunchy outside but soft inside.
I get packaged tofu, but my spouse spent most of his childhood on a commune that grew their own organic soybeans and made their own tofu, tempeh, tofu milk, ice cream, etc. Sometimes they made their own in the house or got it from the commune's soy "dairy."
Hey I'm from India and we have this dish called paneer and it's very similar to tofu. They both has the same texture but paneer made is from milk anf we can actually made it at home. Paneer is very common in here and it can use in anything snacks, curry, rolls, sandwiches and it's delicious.
In the Philippines. We buy fresh made, still hot tofu from magtataho. Or people who sell "Taho", a Filipino sweet dessert made of soft tofu, arnibal(simple syrup), and sago(tapioca balls).
Are u in seattle area because I recognize that tofu and used to go to the place that makes it regularly. It’s the best tofu and is sold hot and fresh. They even have a deep fried with onion version which is the best tofu product I’ve ever had.
My town has a local tofu shop and I’ve only ever bought tofu fresh. Didn’t know it was sold any other way!! It’s also pretty fun and easy to make fresh so that can be fun to do too.
The firm tofu is like cheese. It tasted so good fried and is a great substitute for meat. I love meat but sometimes tofu is better in my opinion. Especially for Thai noodles like pad see ew
There's a tofu vendor in my city, here in Indonesia, who sells freshly made tofu in the afternoon. They're soft and still warm. I usually eat it right away, no cooking required, and they're sooo good.
In Hawai'i we buy a lot of stuff from the store, cold in water in a plastic tub, or packaged in a square box from Long's Drugs. It looks like the same difference between "Mozzarella" you find in blocks and fresh mozzarella in a lumpy water-filled package.
I fry it in unrefined virgin coconut oil. I fry rice in the left over oil. I can do 23 pull-ups and my friend lost weight eating double portions but he added pineapple and sriracha to it. I think it is great for people who want to stay fit. Definitely plant based protein.
With those blocks specifically, we'd fry them up in slices like you do, but also would add tomatoes, cilantro, and onion back into the pan with a splash of fish sauce. Makes for a great stir fry that goes well with rice!
Oo I wanna try this now! I'm always disappointed whenever I had tofu at the watery-ness and thought that was just a tofu thing but fresh tofu sounds way nicer!
I never ate frozen or supermarket tofus except those silky ones. I always ate freshly made tofu from the market, and I really like how when I just bought it, it felt really warm and all pillowy between my hands. Coupled that with the warmth of a freshly made Tempeh, it felt like a nice feeling touching it with your own hands. Small things like these made me love going to the traditional market instead of the supermarket.
You should try season the tofu with garlic! First crush the garlic until it become a paste then add salt, after that you add half cup of water, mix well. Dip the tofu into garlic water and then fry, it's so simple yet delicious 😋
Indonesia tofu : making tofu noon yesterday and sell on market next day morning... I never saw frozen tofu in Local Market except in Big Market like Giant, Lotte, etc... my fave tofu is frying crispy.. i like skin tofu than tofu steam/soup...
I have the same cutting board like yours. When it gets yellowish or brownish in colour after multiple use, I use a little bit of bleach on it. Then I hand-wash it, and rinse it thoroughly. And it is like new once again.
In Vietnamese market, almost every tofu shops make their own tofu daily and sell it. We can also buy other freshly made products there like soy milk or "tào phớ" (a snack that looked like small pieces of tofu)
That looks delicious everyone ive met says bad things about tofu but the first time i tried it i was amazed it was so good and the texture was spot on usually im very picky
Fried tofu is called tahu goreng indonesia Best way to eat it: 1. Buy tempe and tofu 2. Cut ur tempe thin 3. Salt/season ur tofu and tempe 4. Fry them to ur liking 5. Dip then in indonesian sambal 6. Eat with rice 7. Enjoy
Used to live in a place where tofu was the cheapest protein option, now it's usually more expensive than the cheapest meat. I miss it sometimes, it was an easy dinner option.
I had bought tofu before but was always scared of trying it so it went bad but after seeing it again in this video i decided to go out and buy it today and i fried it just to try it and after tring it i dont know what i was afraid of i just kind of tasted in my opinion like a cooked noodle thank you for helping me try something new and i actually ended up getting the same kind as you
I absolutely love tofu! Even my picky eater.. 11 year old girl.. lives ut! I make soups,stir fry, all kinds of things. I typically will get.extra firm. The fresh tofu you and Doug got sounds amazing 😁
The way my mom does it , is by letting it soak in clean water then fry it in oil till it’s brown on all sides. Then add fried shallot with shallot oil or fried leeks nuoc toung or Chinese soy sauce with some sugar and black pepper
I need this now!! Even if I get extra firm, when I’m trying to pat it dry, no matter how gentle I am, it always breaks apart into pieces and still there was too much water left and that makes it impossible To make a good piece with a crispy skin and not a mouthful of tofu water. Can’t use the fryer then cause cold no water and hot ass oil don’t mix and will give u terrible burns from exploding. So yea I need this I
My family usually fried the tofu (just like what you did in the video) and dip them in fish sauce 🤤🤤(I usually put some chillies and vinegar in the sauce so it would be more delicious and flavorful)
Grew up eating tofu pretty much my whole life. We use to get like those huge buckets of tofu from the Korean store. It was blocks of tofu submerged in water basically. They look like those 5 gallon buckets of ice cream. Now I buy the smaller tofu packages at H mart. The Vietnamese tofu is pretty great though.
My family selling tofu in traditional market, the tofu always make one days ago and being deliver to every market in the night so we can sell it early in the morning. They are many types of tofu so sometimes I got confuse specially when the customer want the type of tofu that we didnt sell

Fried tofu & fried frozen tofu.
tofu scramble!
mapo tofu
Stir Fry.
Fish And Tofu Tausi, plus we buy our tofu here in the philippines from taho vendors so they're always freshly made.
Yes freshly made tofu tastes sooo good. 😍And thnk you for just lightly patting the moisture. Idk why people squeeze all the moisture out and squish them with pans. 😂
Edit war zone in the comments 😅
I usually only see people press it to make meat substitutes. Which I've still yet to try,looks good yho
Riiight... I also think moist tofu taste better....
@@moonjun2617 I hella agree. Im a huge silken tofu person. Could eat soonduboo jigae every day if I had the money
@@madisonevans7950 Silken and firm tofu are different things. You can't dry out silken tofu or sundubu! Firm tofu can be dried on the surface so that it can brown when fried.
Pressing with pans is only suitable if you will cook them in a sauce of some kind so they absorb the sauce.
my indonesian mom used to buy freshly made tofu prolly twice a week and yeah it actually tastes really different from the soft tofu
hey i have an indonesian mom too 😄 ! (i live in malaysia hehe)
Freshly made tempeh hits different too ❤️ also tempe gembus is my new favorite
@@kumarules118 never got one how does it taste?
@@roses31375 which one? Tempeh just a product of soybeans so it tastes nutty but a lot firmer than tofu. Maybe cause the beans still retaining the shape while fermenting.
Haha my mom too, we're Chinese but live in Indonesia, so my mom steams it with seaweed.
I honestly mistook it for 'Paneer' because this one looks exactly like it. No doubt it's hella fresh and tastes amazing
Same
Same
Omg I wanna try it now
It probably would make a good sub for paneer if you’re in a pinch!
@@JuriAmari but not vice versa as … paneer is cow excretions (“cheese” or “milk” something) , correct? 🥴
yall are gonna think i'm weird but my favorite way to eat tofu is "raw" :')) i just think it taste so good and fresh!!
People normally eat tofu raw all the time
I love raw tofu!
Freshly made tofu is so much better!! We usually coat it in breading and fry it, then we dip it in soy sauce with vinegar and chopped onion. Yuuuum! Now I want tofu 🤤
I don't dip my fried tofu in anything but I do agree that tofu with breadings taste amazing.
or teryaki sauce
Oh god that sounds bomb. New plans for dinner tomorrow night
THAT ACTULALLY SOUNDS DELICIOUS. 😋
I have not tried tofu yet but your recipe sounds good! I may have to try it.
Try marinating it with garlic, salt, and water. That's how we typically make fried tofu in indonesia. Paired with sambal and kecap manis, an amazing budget meal👌
Yooooo, it's the best
Ohhhh that sounds so good. Thanks for the tip!
Indonesia fact:kecap only grows on Indonesia
So it is like soy sauce
i’ve never had tofu before, and i’m curious about the taste, but i’m kinda nervous.
Give it a try, it's so soft, so good and cheap. Soak it in water and salt first then fry it. Sambal would be a perfect combo.
It's delicious 😋
it doesn’t have too much taste. even if you don’t like it, i don’t think you’ll find it gross
it doesn't taste like anything, a very mild soybean flavor if anything. tofu will soak any spice you used for cooking them. deep fried tofu is my recommendation ❤️
If you add a bit of soy sauce at the end of the frying process it'll make it incredibly delicious

On the constrary I have only had fresh tofu all my life, never saw frozen ones until I went to Australia for studying
I've never seen frozen tofu. I only ever see it refrigerated at the store.
Fresh made the same day though? I’ve never seen frozen either, but that doesn’t mean the refrigerated ones are made fresh *that day*
frozen tofu?
I've seen silken. But frozen no
Frozen and refrigerated aren’t the same!
