Does anyone else think that the longer you stare at the word tofu, the weirder it looks???

Thank youuuuu!!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Dude! Thank you!
Thank you… she’s hard to listen to
What you said about people not eating steamed chicken. Lol that’s exactly what I tell people when they talk to me about their tofu dislikes. I actually love the natural taste of tofu, and the flavoured recipes too. 💖💖
I love the natural taste of tofu too! And flavored too! And it goes well in a ton of recipes!
Madalina Zbranca so many recipes! It’s the most versatile thing. Crunchy, or soft, whatever you want. ☺️💚
Yes, indeed! And it's amazing in sweet or savory recipes, because it takes the flavor of anything you cook it with :)
Right?! I don't mind it plain either, but it's definitely better with seasoning
Caitlin Shoemaker for sure! Haha 💖
I’m not vegan but i love tofu. I think people just don’t know how to cook it. Thanks a lot for the recipes!
i bought tofu once and i didn't even know how to cook it so it went bad sitting in the fridge for a long time.
Kylie Finstad it's probably best to either find a recipe that you like the look of in advance of even buy it or straight after you buy it. I think we all sometimes buy something thinking it would be great to try it but forget about or can't decide exactly what it would go with and then before you know it's gone off!
I made tofu at home fr first time hence luking fr sm tofu recipes.. ☺️
honestly east and southeast asians have always known how to cook and season tofu. But with all these modern healthy eating trends and westernized societies increasingly being exposed to foods like tofu (and tempeh), they're the ones claiming that tofu is bland (listen... salt and pepper won't do). pretty annoying cos i grew up poor and eating tofu five times a week and i can confirm that tofu is flavorful af (also cheap, not everyone is rich enough to buy meats every day). please educate yourselves with some chinese, japanese, korean, indonesian etc. recipes.
Priya Vijay Some people have to learn to adjust to it, but you’ve been eating it all your life so you love it.
I LOVE tofu and I appreciate all the ways tofu is/was cooked. Whatever the method, the tofu is just beautifully tasteful. I love the texture and the taste and the..... satisfaction of being full on an empty stomach kind of feel??? if you get me???? I just love tofu. I have a Korean sister (adopted) from South Korea and she is full blooded Korean, (we lived in Korea for 2 years) and I appraise her culture. I love Korea and Korean food. I am fortunate enough to have tasted and have been able to incorporate this into my daily healthy life. I love Korea food. and TOFU!!!
I like fried tofu with just salt and pepper. It's a nice snack.
Thank you for bringing the light on tempe ! It is an affordable and nutrisious food that is overlooked by so many of people. You could cook a day of meals from a block of tempe that costs less than a dollar. It is easily my favorite food alongside of tofu.
so true girl!!!
The title of this video made me lol. I love freezing tofu and pressing out the excess water - total game changer!
What's the temperature of the oven ?
when you suggested freezing tofu, i literally got up, and did it! This is why I watch your videos. I love your tips!
haha love it!
How'd it go?
How Long did the tofu take to thaw?
You and Liv B both freeze tofu as a hack for different reasons. I apparently need to freeze mine from now on lol! Thank you for these tips!
it takes a little extra time but it's so worth it to me!
How long do you freeze it? And then do you thaw on the counter or in the fridge? The thing that always prevents me from freezing my tofu is planning! So trying to get my head around the time it takes to do this - thank you!
Trish's Healthy Appetite i freeze all my tofu (except for soft or medium soft) and it changes the texture completely :) not to mention when i squeeze liquid out more seems to come out. Its SO good! Plus its nice to have extra tofu on hand :)
I have a block of tofu defrosting in my refrigerator right now! =) Can't wait to see how it turns out!
@@Alesija1 i just made some last week but i pressed it before freezing. have you tried it both ways or only freezing first? i'm trying to find out which was is better before i freeze the tofu i just bought lol
Can I just say THANK YOU for showing a healthy vegan ranch recipe that's quick and easy! Most of them call for cashews or mayo or a ton of oil so this will seriously help my fiancé and I eat more salads. 🥗
that orange sauce isn't exactly quick and easy...but yeah everything else was
I always thought tofu was going to be gross until I tried it at chipotle and LOVED it! I genuinely thought they gave me real meat at first.
oooh yes! Sofritas is so good!
Taylor Daniels I love the tofu from Chipotle. Do you have a recipe ?
"It's bland, gross, or boring." So is meat, though. People season it and put sauces on it. Meat-eater argument logic.
I came here to say this! Yeah like duh you gotta season it fam.
Some meats taste good without seasonings 🤦♀️
@@ayofrtho7014 Sounds like an opinion.
@@furfancyfree1817 so's your original comment
@@ayofrtho7014 What meats? I never cooked meats without seasoning. But I guess some people like bland and boring.
I tried the orange tofu with a fresh salad for lunch today and I absolutely LOVED it.
Definitely subscribing. Thank you, I can't wait to try more of your recipes!
Yes, more tofu recipes! And maybe some using tempeh?
For recipes that call for tofu to me coated in a sauce/glaze I prefer to fry the tofu after lightly coating it in cornstarch. I think it creates a better crispy outside w/ a soft inside texture than the baking method.
I never enjoyed baking my tofu and drying it out, it creates too tough of a texture for me. If anyone else feels the same way, try the method of lightly coating it in cornstarch then frying it.
Very cool! I've never really known how to properly use cornstarch and baking powder. If I used baking powder could I still get a crispy tofu?
@@SailorsInZeeBoats no
fun recipes. i also love how tofu is a canvas for other flavors but i love it plain too. i lived in japan for a few years and there is definitely an opportunity to eat "plain" tofu. it's subtle and delicious. a common snack you can get at the convenience store is a tofu cube with a packets of ground ginger, soy sauce and bonito flakes. you just sprinkle everything on and dig in. yum!
What a great hack!!! I'm going to start freezing tofu! Thanks for the tip.
Amazing! We love it . I just made it for me and my husband, using the millet and brown rice ramen noodles from Costco with steamed cauliflower and broccoli. Yum! Thank you so much!
You’ve been cranking out so many videos lately and I saw your Instagram post you deserve a break and post so often so we understand and love your videos!😊
thank you! Just doin my job 😁
Thank you! This gave me an idea for tomorrow’s lunch 🤗
Dude, this was seriously one of the most informative vegan cooking videos I’ve seen in a while!! Thanks for all the awesome tips and tricks! ✌🏼💜
Hey Caitlin, thanks love these informative videos! So helpful!
Literally JUST made that buffalo tofu recipe and i'm IN LOVE!!!
Omg, freezing the tofu...freaking genius! Thank you! This will also help me from wasting tofu that sits in my fridge. I can’t wait to try both of these.
yes - it definitely keeps longer in the freezer as well!
im so glad you posted this because i just bought tofu an got home, open youtube and seen i got a notification for this video !!!
It looks yummy this time too!
Thank you for your videos every time!
Thanks for the tip of everyday life!
Love that top!
Your recipes are amazing! xx
thank you Riya
I don't typically subscribe very often but I enjoyed the sense of humor you added to your videos. I've been wondering how I can change up my tofu recipes and you gave me some great ideas. Thanks so much and look forward to more videos from you.
Currently watching this while eating some tofu (Buddha bowl) and I can’t wait to try these hacks for next time
Made your buffalo tofu hemp ranch salad, and it was delicious! I have to say, I've made quite a few of your recipes lately, and you're the only blogger thus far whose food has not disappointed! Thank you for sharing and for your work in putting together this compassionate deliciousness for us! ❤️
You're honestly my fave vegan youtuber! Always get excited to view your content & I love the minimalistic aesthetic
Such great recipe ideas!! Cannot wait to try them, thank you Caitlin 😍
I have saved this to refer to when cooking and want to be sure I have details for the spices. Thank you for the clarity with which you communicate.
I like your chill attitude
Your buffalo tofu sounds so good! Literally when I started trying out tofu I really wasn't that keen on it but I'm so glad I just kept making it, I feel like I forced myself to love tofu 😂. It's just so versatile, and such a staple food in my diet now that it really makes me sad when people say they don't like tofu, all because they really don't know how to cook it.
I love your recipe for ranch ive never seen it done that way before! cant wait to try!!
Your videos keep getting better! Digging the music in this one.
I will need to try these both. Thanks for the ideas!! I always make my tofu one way. So having options will be awesome.
Made the orange tofu Buddha bowl this evening. Another hit with my family! So Yummy! Thank You!
I always thought freezing tofu was not a good idea but now I've learned something new. Thanks for the video!
Already cooked my tofu for meal prep yesterday but I’m definitely making this ranch dressing tonight! Thanks for all your awesome videos!
Wonderful Tofu ideas!!! I am always looking forward to your recipes, thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, love you 💗
this might be my favorite video because i'm OBSESSED with tofu haha. thanks for the tips!
I made the Orange Tofu for lunch, today...and it is so good!! I left the tofu in the oven a little too long but that didn't hurt...it is super chewy and the Nooch/Tamari/Orange Sauce flavors are addictive. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Both look awesome but I am so excited about recreating the ranch dressing!! Looks soooo good!!
Well made...
Thanks for sharinng...
These recipes look amazing! I'm definitely going to try both.
THESE ALL LOOK AMAZINGGGGGGG
This is helpful!! I bought tofo yesterday very clueless but excited because it will help my taste buds adjust to non meat alternatives for when I go vegetarian! ❤️
Omg, putting the tofu in the freezer idea is genius!!! Thx caitlin✌
Dayum! Just made this orange tofu buddha bowl. Soooo goooood!
I LOVE that you provided EXCELLENT explanations for those of us who are new to the "Tofu Side of The World". Thank you!
I'm excited for this video but I'm more excited to try and make the hemp seed ranch!!! Love the simplicity of it all!!
Amazing. My boyfriend and I are starting to get into vegan recipes and the orange tofu looks amazing. I will definitely try!
Lovely recipes and presentation, I think I will they them both
these both look so good! i will be trying this 🤩
Great job! I really enjoyed the video. It answers a lot of my questions about tofu. I also thought the orange sauce looked amazing. I can’t wait to try it.
Your are the best! I enjoy your videos and recipes so much.
Finding your account was the highlight of my week, thanks a lot!
i love ur recipes and you're so inspirational!
Looks so delicious! I love how good that salad looks, I definitely wanna try the hemp seed dressing as well 😄
These look amazing!! Can't wait to try them. I know my whole family will love them. Not sure which to try first. I want them both right now! :) Much healthier and easier than frying them up in a pan, and I love that you made one into a buddha bowl and one into a salad. Thank You!
The Buffalo Tofu salad recipe is AMAZING!! I am obsessed 🙂
Wow... That color blouse looks awesome on you, Caitlin!
I will try this recipe, thank you!
Thanks I've been needing some not suck recipes lately!
That salad looked amazing
I wish you put a write up in the description box. Sounds really good
I’m so excited to try the frozen tofu! Thanks girl!!!
Simply delightful videos.
thanks! These are great ideas!
Thank you Caitlin. I've been stuck on failing tofu recipes and I think your advice may help. I love tofu I've had in restaurants. I've tried baking tofu after marinading but it always comes out like shoe leather. Freezing the tofu first may help. Love the orange marinade you feature. I've subscribed so keep up the excellent TH-cam channel.
simple, to the point. subscribed
I just made the buffalo tofu and it was DELICIOUS!!! Thank you, Caitlin for blessing us with all of these wonderful recipes :)
I love this!!!! I can’t wait to freeze my tofu and try it out after! Thanks!!
I really like that you have such different recipes! I already know how to cook with tofu but I still got some inspiration from this :)
Hi Caitlin i had the salad for dinner tonight and it was delicious as soon as i seen it i knew i had to make it plus that ranch dressing with hemp hearts such a great Idea since most of the ranch sauce usually involve mayo
Never thought of freezing tofu to get a nice texture! That’s a great tip! Thanks! 😍
Thank you so much for this video! So extremely helpful:)
I personally love tofu the way it is 😁 I think that it’s actually tasty! 😋 am I the only one?
Amazing recipes Cait! Thank you! (So prettyyy) 💜❤️
No, you're not the only one! I like the natural flavor of tofu too, but I love cooking with it too!
I don't mind it plain, but I have also eaten it since I was a little kid. I can definitely see how it would be an acquired taste
Lol! No, you're not the only one. I prefer it cooked even though I sometimes taste it raw while cooking it😂.
l like it as is or with a bit of soy sauce sprinkled on. l first tasted bean cake when l worked at a Chinese restaurant and it's definitely an acquired taste. The only kind we used was soft and they put it in the staff meals. lmagine my surprise when l found it in firm and extra firm! But l mostly like it prepared in a recipe. Also makes a fine "egg" in a bun with some vegan cheeze :~))
You're definitely not the only one. You'll actually find that in a lot of east Asian cuisine where they use tofu, it isn't always nearly as dressed as how people make here, especially in soups. Many of them like the natural taste as well.
I've never tried to freeze my tofu before, I think I'd like the way I normally do it better because I actually enjoy a softer texture inside with the crispy outside, but to each their own!
ahhh i’ve been waiting for that buffalo tofu since ya posted it on your story!! these look amazingggg omg
Tried the buffalo tofu salad today and holy moly it was awesome! I don't think I will ever fry tofu again-thank you!!
Love your videos I am such a big fan😍😍❤
thank you!
Yes!!! I've never met anyone else who freezes tofu - my fiance discovered the wonders of freezing tofu almost on accident, but it really does make such a difference
That looks good. Great job!!
I love it ! Im going to try and freeze mine too
The orange tofu is my fave recipe 😍
both of these look great, can't wait to try them, putting tofu in the freezer now, thanks
0:50 - THANK YOU!!!
Every time I try these crispy tofu recipes, they don't actually come out crispy.. but I'm glad to see that I don't have to use arrowroot. I will so try this
Just met you and your channel...really great...your parents should be proud of you...wonderful info and presentation!
I am going to make the orange tofu. Sounds yummy and i am sure tastes yummi too :). Thank you!💜
Love your recipes. One thing I love the most, not necessarily, is the servings are NOT 6 or 12 servings that need to be eaten in a few days. As one single person, I really appreciate the serving sizes and the variety. Great job, Caitlin. Thank you!
The food you make always look soo good! I'm terrible at cooking but you make it look really easy so I'll have to give it a go
Tried the orange sauce and it turned out SO BOMB!! Definitely going to make a bigger batch next time!
Orange tofu done!! It was really amazing taste and very easy to cook
You have the best recipes. Amazing for your age! I will be making your recipes
Made the orange sauce a few times for my baked tofu cubes. Unreal. This stuff is easy to make and tastes incredible. That says a lot for a vegan dude who is not Mr. Super Chef in the kitchen. Thanks for posting!!
