Guys, tell me what you want me to cook. Doesn't have to be Genshin. And if you guys have any video games you would recommend for me to play that has good food in it. Please post in the comments below.
The east asian name all food that has similar texture and shape to tofu as "xxx tofu" :) e.g. Tamago Tofu which is made by egg, fish tofu by minced fish, blood tofu by congealed blood ...
I mean that’s the reason he likes it- (Xiao likes almond tofu not for the taste, but because the texture is similar to the dreams he would devour when he was enslaved by one of the gods Rex Lapis killed)
So glad that you made this with just almond milk. The other videos require you to process the milk from the almonds yourself and I don't have time for that. I'll make this and eat while summoning for Xiao.
If you want to make this vegan: -use only almond milk instead of dairy milk -switch the gelatin for agar agar -switch the honey for maple or rice syrup (or Agave syrup, whatever you prefer) Edit: or vegan honey! That works too I hope this helps someone
There is a chance that there's osmanthus syrup in your local Chinese store/Asian store, a bit too sticky to be used straight out of bottle, so you might still have to mix it with some sugar water, but it tastes better than osmanthus tea. Still has the little flower buds in them, but honestly I'm a fan of that. Love that in desserts and porridges.
Instead of keeping the tea leaves in the syrup, you could probably use chopped almonds! It would provide a similar visual effect as the tea leaves and bring some lovely textural contrast to the almond tofu ^^
I made this and I gotta say, it's amazing! So quick and easy to make and it's the perfect snack for warm days, very refreshing! I also tried it with honey and nuts which was very nice (just make sure to not overdo it with the honey cause it's already pretty sweet on its own) and it also went well along with some chopped up strawberries! Honestly, I'll be making this all the time in summer, very light, airy and cool~!
Ah.. Yess.. Xiao will be coming on next banner. Perfect time for the ritual to summon him. Oh, don't forget your credit card also beside this almond tofu.
I always wondered why the in game recipe for this never used the usual tofu even though it's a item you can buy in the in game grocery shop which you can use for other dishs like Jewelry soup(my request for the next dish ironically) Also why rock sugar in particular? Can we substitute it with normal sugar?
I've made this using your recipe 3 times now. My family keeps asking for more lol. It's really tasty and definitely a keeper! I agree that the texture is better when you strain the tea leaves out of the syrup.
I really love seeing your genshin recipies. I've watched a few other make these recipies but I think you do them the most justice. Keep up the good work! I'd really love to see crystal shrimp!!
Ingredient list: (Tofu itself) • 1 cup milk • 1 cup store bought almond milk • Three tablespoons of sugar • Two tablespoons of gelatin (Eighths of a cup of water for it) Syrup: • One part water • One part rock sugar • 1 tablespoons honey • Osmantus tea leaves (Probably incorrect spelling) Extra: • Goji berries
as someone who loves tofu so much i refuse to accept that almond tofu does not actually include tofu (even tho i can't imagine what it would taste like if they actually used real tofu in it) 😤
From my understanding, the Chinese word for almond is similar to the same as their word for apricot seeds (which apparently aren’t uncommon to eat) I’ve seen some articles that say almond tofu is made with the apricot seeds to make the “milk” used in the gelatin mixture.
ChefMar: Here's a super easy recipe Me: Heads to supermarket across the road to buy pre-packed almond tofu Great effort and presentation! Xiao will be pleased. Yanxiao will be envious.
I tried making it with sweet apricot kernel, and I'm 100% sure it's way better with the sweet apricot kernel rather than just almond milk because the sweet apricot kernel has a distinct delicate fragrant that compliments the osmanthus syrup
Today i made almond tofu by using your recipe. First i have to say i wasnt able to get osmanthus syrup and goji berries. So i used mable syrup and blue berries. And i really like it. Thanks for your recipe. (Sorry for my bad english)
I can't wait to try this one out, keep up the good work! I would love to see you do the Pile 'Em Up and Golden Shrimp Balls recipes, I love how you try to get your presentation as close to the in game picture as possible and these ones look amazing in game.
Actual tofu probably didn't really need the gelatin, but this sure keeps its shape better. The normal cooking tofu squares and the fluffier "tofu fa" (flower tofu, which is one hell of a dessert) both pretty much solidifies like cheese, hence the shape and texture, just without yeast and fermentation.
That's because it is a jelly- like he said, it's basically a Chinese take on panna cotta but with a more delicate flavor due to not using heavy cream. Traditionally, it's made from sweet apricot seeds, not actually almonds despite the name- it's terminology being lost in translation much like how the Asian Plum is not actually a plum and is closer to an apricot- and is congealed with agar agar rather than gelatin. By comparison, agar agar will give it a much more fragile and softer texture.

I am today years old to know almond tofu is not tofu, but they still look delicious anyway!
almond tofu is also not usually not made out of almonds, it is actually made out of apricot seeds, which also mean almonds 杏仁 :D
I just remembered when I bought 100 tofus but it turns out that there are no tofus required to cook Almond's tofu
Lol
Bro that’s so painful
PLEASE BECAUSE I BOUGHT 600 BEFORE I STARTED COOKING
I DID THE EXACT SAME THING LASKFDSDF

Aww, knowing that osmanthus syrup was used in the almond tofu makes me think that Zhongli cooked that for xiao😭

Thankyou 😔💖
tysm! now i can make this and give some to the rest of my family (who are all vegan)
Now I understand why Xiao loves this dish
YES
This takes about a whole day to make combined with the effort. But in game, we just throw 3 things in a pot and then it's done
If Xiao gets a rerun ill cook this so he will come home
why is a game making me more cultured... what black magic is this?

"Osmathus wine tastes the same as i remember".
*playing with my zhongli main friend war flashbacks*
I somehow can never find osmanthus syrup in my local asian market, any idea what section it may be in?
Xiao: im hungry
Me:
say less
i love how were all collectively here for xiao
“Once the snow is thick enough, we can eat it.” Xiao
so excited to try this!! i was just reading up on Xiao and how this was his favorite dish, so excellent timing! 👌🏾
it'd be cool to see your take on either the golden shrimp balls or the moon pie!

Instead of keeping the tea leaves in the syrup, you could probably use chopped almonds! It would provide a similar visual effect as the tea leaves and bring some lovely textural contrast to the almond tofu ^^
I can see why Xiao loves this dish so much...it looks so tasty oh dear archons!
Ok so we got the tofu, now we just need Xiao.

Ah.. Yess.. Xiao will be coming on next banner. Perfect time for the ritual to summon him. Oh, don't forget your credit card also beside this almond tofu.
When I wish for him ill play this video.
Just to make sure that he'll come home!
I always wondered why the in game recipe for this never used the usual tofu even though it's a item you can buy in the in game grocery shop which you can use for other dishs like Jewelry soup(my request for the next dish ironically)
Also why rock sugar in particular? Can we substitute it with normal sugar?
Rock sugar is just whats traditionally used. You can sub regular sugar.
FOR REAL I'VE WONDERED THIS TOO
Rock sugar is less sweet than regular sugar. I sometime eat rock sugar. Its good.
You need to use rock sugar because its a Liyue specialty
Rock sugar because if you grew up Asian, you know rock sugar.
I've made this using your recipe 3 times now. My family keeps asking for more lol. It's really tasty and definitely a keeper! I agree that the texture is better when you strain the tea leaves out of the syrup.
I really love seeing your genshin recipies. I've watched a few other make these recipies but I think you do them the most justice.

Thanks! Finally someone who uses gelatin! It's impossible for me to get agar agar, the one used in other recipes :'(
I'm really grateful

I will cook this during Xiao's re-run hoping he'll like it 🙏🏼

It's 3am and my mouth is drooling like xiangling's
when you’re a xiao simp and this pops up in your reccomended:
my brain: *you need this for the ritual for xiao*
*Not me staying up from 4am to now just for watching how to make almond tofu, to be honest it is worth it*
I'm going to eat that when Xiao comes home for better luck
forgive me
*OSMANTHUS WINE TASTE THE SAME AS I REMEMBER BUT WHERE ARE THOSE WHO SHARE THE MEMORY*-Zhongli every five seconds
And here comes another dish i wish i could see with my own eyes once
I bet xiao was watching intensely when you are the almond tofu
I want Razor's dish! The little paws are so cute!
I tried making it with sweet apricot kernel, and I'm 100% sure it's way better with the sweet apricot kernel rather than just almond milk because the sweet apricot kernel has a distinct delicate fragrant that compliments the osmanthus syrup
suddenly i feel like xiao now, need to eat this.
Who would've thought Almond Tofu wasn't actually tofu...could've fooled me. This is one of the recipes that I've always wanted to try.
Just found channel. Everything looks so good. Better than my cafeteria food damn I gotta try some of these
Chef Mar! Thank you for making my favorite dish!
Xaio doesn't have favorite dish, he only eat almond tofu because that's the only food can handle his stomach.
Omggg I was just thinking about how someone should recreate the foods, but I thank youuuuuu
Gelatin is probably not needed. In China, Mongols have a dish called "milk tofu", which is made of yogurt.
This is the dish I immediately wanted to eat when I saw it, thanks for the video!
zhongli:*makes almond tofu for xiao*

Thank you. I will now proceed to cook this recipe for Xiao.

grrr xiao i have 10k primos for u just come home during rerun alright? ill wait
I'm so happy I now know how to make this. I will never have a bowl of popcorn again.
I’ll do this before pulling for him when I get the chance to do so.
