My mum bought a weed grinder, it had a gothic picture of medusa on it, was clearly intended for weed. I was emptying the dishwasher and saw it like erm by little sister is quite bold putting this in the dishwasher, asked her, nope not hers. Mum found it in the cheapy shop by the lighters and tobacco tins and thought it was a weird place for them to stock garlic crushers. Bless her.
0:40 it’s dull because you’re not using the back of your knife to push away the stuff you cut up!! it’s making the blade dull when you use the sharp part :)
FRICKEN YUM!!!! vegan 53 years! I worked as a chef I invented vegan foods before you were born in the still just looks delicious especially right now it's 6:15 in the morning and I haven't been to bed and I love Savory food for breakfast so my tummy I'm so hungry. Thanks for your channel I'm glad to know that there still people doing this stuff. When I saw people wearing for again after all the work I did 40 years ago my heart just sunk, and then all the people letting their animals have babies after all the spay and neuter education. I'm glad to see that there are young smart beautiful people out there still getting the word out in one way or the other! new subscriber
What can I say that hasn't been said? Your sense of humor is so awesome. The jazz music is beyond soothing. Not the usual cheeseball music. And u got me back on the vegan bandwagon. Bam. I 💗 u and so do the animals that are still alive.
I just love the music you play. It is a compliment to the video; not a distraction. Soooooo tired of all the bubble gum pop and trance music in other videos being played at triple volume compared to the dialogue. Your videos are a pleasure. 👍💋
Ive been playing around with mapo tofu! It’s super good and easy! I saute ginger and garlic. In a separate bowl- mix vegan broth with corn starch and soy sauce, with a little sesame oil. Once the ginger/garlic is cooked a little, i add black bean paste and chili paste. Then add the liquid mixture. Let it thicken for a second then add the tofu!
Girl you are my kind of cook ! I’m the only one of my family of 5 ( 3 kids and a hubby) that loves to eat vegan! These are soooo easy and just what I need ! Thank you Rose 🥰❤️
Good tip if you are chopping garlic and dont want the smell on your hands is to put oil on your hands before you do it. Any oil is fine I just use canola
So I took Rose's advise, froze the tofu yesterday, thawed it today, dressed it with soya sauce and seasoned bread crumbs, fried it and guess what... I liked it! I have tried many recipies over the years but tofu just never was a fave. This one, I can eat. Thank you.
Yum! It's so relaxing how you shoot and edit your videos. I was stressed out after leaving work, but watching this totally chilled me out. Thank you! 💓
A really easy way to coat tofu cubes in potato starch or cornstarch is to place it all in a ziplock bag or a tupperware container and give it a good shake, works every time :D
Hey there! 👋 Loving these wallet-friendly tofu ideas - perfect for my plant-based cravings without blowing my budget! 🌱💰 Can't wait to whip up some tasty and affordable meals. Keep those awesome recipes coming! 🤩🍽
I thoroughly appreciate your embrace of the lazy adjective. Now I know what to do with the tofu, green onion, red onion and gochujang in the fridge. ✌🏽
I just made this recipe and it was really good! I loved it. I never thought I'd enjoy vegan food but i really liked it. I will definitely check out more vids! Also is kimchi vegan because I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!
You win the most sophisticated TH-cam video award.The music gave me hope that this pack of tofu would turn out just as good as your recipes looked.😉💗#classy
Your link to the handwritten recipes doesn't work, aaah! I'm type 2 diabetic and looking to work in some vegan recipes, so I was stoked to see the one with just the tofu and veggies (the sauce seems like a low enough amount to be ok) I'm worried I'll forget the recommended strategies when I try it. Attempting anything vegan has been tough, I feel like rice & pasta are really big factors in a lot of vegan diets and I can't do that. I'm also worried my husband will balk at anything I serve him that isn't meat or pasta/white rice. *shakes fist at blood sugar*
DragMeFromTheStars I would recommend really thinking about why you want to go vegan and watching some documentaries. I personally watched cowspiracy🌎 and earthlings🐄. I know that earthlings is pretty grafic and hard to watch (I cried through the whole thing) but I still think it's good to watch it. I think the most important thing is to educate yourself and have a reason for doing it. Another thing that makes it much easier is to watch yt videos about how people went vegan and tips on how to do it. Some good channels are CheapLazyVegan (obviously), hot for food and Liv's healthy life. Everyone transitions differently, some do it overnight like me and some take several months and you should do what you feel comfortable with for example you can go vegetarian first and then cut out eggs and direct dary and then start reading labels and look for more hidden ingredients like milk powder and stuff like that. If you have any other questions, just ask.💕 Hope you find this helpful, good luck 💚 (excuse my spelling)
food wise: i recommend always having frozen veggies in the fridge and some kind of dry filling food (idk the term) like rice, lentils, beans and stuff.. this stuff saves me on days im too lazy to do anything (and thats a lot of days lol) good luck to you! :)
1.) Figure out why you are going vegan and explore it! Learn all the different aspects to understand your own motivation and to prepare yourself for the questions that may come your way. 2.) Learn about vegan nutrition, even if you don't care about health. Vegan nutrition is actually very easy, even though sometimes it can seem overwhelming. At the very least, pick up a vegan B12 supplement, preferably with methylcobalamin and in liquid form. 3.) Subscribe to vegan TH-cam channels, especially ones that focus on cheap, easy meals, like the one you are on right now! I currently watch CheapLazyVegan, The Happy Pear, Edgy Veg, Liv's Healthy Life, Supreme Banana, Guilt Free TV, Bite Sized Vegan (informational), Mic the Vegan (informational), and Caitlin Shoemaker. 4.) Read some books on the health-side of veganism: The Starch Solution, The China Study, Proteinaholic, How NOT to Die, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Becoming Vegan, and I am sure there is a lot more. 5.) Find vegan food blogs: Minimalist Baker, The Vegan 8, Connoisseurus Veg 6.) Go visit Nutrition Facts.org. 7.) Stock your kitchen with vegan food staples! Get yourself some grains, legumes, vegetables (canned, fresh, or frozen), fruits, nuts (if you aren't allergic), and seeds. Buy some spices and vegan-friendly condiments, if you don't already have some. I recommend focusing on cheaper staples first (pasta, rice, frozen or canned vegetables & legumes, etc.). Once you transitioned and know what you eat, you can buy things fresh, if you'd like. 8.) Veganize or look up veganized versions of your favourite recipes. 9.) Determine if you need to avoid vegan versions of animal products (such as vegan cheeses, vegan meats, etc.) or if they will help your transition. I personally didn't need them while I transitioned, but I also kind of transitioned without much resistance. Even now, I rarely use vegan versions of animal products (except homemade vegan sour cream because oh my gosh, I love the texture). 10.) Think up things you have heard about veganism and research them to see if they are true. Finding out the truth should ease some concerns, if you have any. If not, that's awesome!!
The Korean red pepper paste is pretty specific, but traditional Ma Po Tofu uses its own specific paste called Doubanjiang (a major ingredient in Sichuan cuisine). So that's a big difference right there. I've seen people use Sambal Oelek (which has a completely different flavour altogether), so I suppose you could just use whatever hot sauce you find in the grocery store, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can find Doubanjiang, Korean red pepper paste and even Sambal Oelek at an Asian grocery store or online. If you don't like spicy stuff, try a different dish like Zhajiangmian (noodles in black-bean sauce) which uses a thick and savoury/sweet sauce, and you can add tofu to that. Good luck :)
Just tried your mapo tofu recipe. UGHH SO GOOD!!
annathuylinh YAAASSSS
Cheap Lazy Vegan Do u have any recommendations for a red pepper paste substitute?
annathuylinh eeiiiiii
The music is so chill
this was like perfectly timed because I have some tofu in the fridge and I didn't really know what to do with it so this helped me a lot💛
Sonja Hyvärinen haha me too!
I just tried the first recipe and it was so good!! 😋
yayyy!! :)
Would a weed grinder work for the garlic as well? Such a clever idea!
Terry Buckhart I'm going to try that next time
Yeah, she has used one before too, but didn't realise it until somebody pointed it out hahaha
My mum bought a weed grinder, it had a gothic picture of medusa on it, was clearly intended for weed. I was emptying the dishwasher and saw it like erm by little sister is quite bold putting this in the dishwasher, asked her, nope not hers. Mum found it in the cheapy shop by the lighters and tobacco tins and thought it was a weird place for them to stock garlic crushers. Bless her.
i was wondering if any other stoners out there noticed her garlic grinder looked like a fucking weed grinder.
Terry Buckhart you're hysterical 😂
This was SO relaxing to watch. I'm tired of other recipe videos with electronic music so this was a nice change of pace. 😎
Chik Lit so glad you enjoyed!!! I think jazz is so good for food videos 😀
0:40 it’s dull because you’re not using the back of your knife to push away the stuff you cut up!! it’s making the blade dull when you use the sharp part :)
Over the course of about two years i have really grown to trust you’re recipes, taste pallet, and you’re knowledge of foooood science!!!!
I always get back to you because you eat normal sized portions and down to earth delicious recipes :)
7:15 "some things are just, you know, too difficult to make at home, so you might as well just buy it from the store... YES" i loled ahahahaha

Ive been eating vegan for like 2 years now but never knew how to tofu , so basically you just levelled up my cooking game 😏 thank you so much 💛💛
I think adding some lentils to the first recipe would bulk it up and keep you fuller longer. Either way it looks good and imma try it.
I just love the music you play. It is a compliment to the video; not a distraction. Soooooo tired of all the bubble gum pop and trance music in other videos being played at triple volume compared to the dialogue. Your videos are a pleasure. 👍💋

The Korean mapo tofu is so delicious! If you have time, certainly try it out... it’s basically just chopping and mixing.
Hittin me with that smooth jazz though 😌 *chef kiss*
Omg I really wanna try tofu. Also, red pepper PASTE? I see the gates of heaven!
for Garlic or Onion hands use a stainless soap bar or rub your hands on your stainless steel sink for approx. 30 seconds. :)
Almost 300k subscribers! Yes! Keep rockin' Rose!

You're cool. I get a feeling that you're a very honest person with high integrity
I love maboo tofu. I never thought of making it myself but you make it look easy. I am also a cheap, lazy vegan.

Iv been looking for a vegan mapo tofu recipe! Thank you so much 😭
Hello. I couldn't get to the link that list the ingredients and written recipe page. Could you please check the link.
How spicy is Red Pepper Paste? If spicy, is there a non spicy alternative? I’m super whimp when it comes to hot foods.
what can you substitute for red pepper paste?
Hey...m indian i want to try this chinese recepi pls let me the preparation tgat red paste what u added wd soya sauce

Do you have to add oil because the pretty pan?
You saved my life today I needed to make something for a friend
The first recipe reminded me of Maangchi's braised tofu recipe! Both look so good
i'll definitely try this starch coating, i'm always so lazy when it comes to tofu, i just put it in a soup..

You are not lazy...but your music is haha I like the food you prepare.
Everything looks so good , thanks for sharing. Love your channel. Music can be more upbeat though
i think its yummier if u use tofu cut into cubes, fry it and mix with that sauce...
Have you ever done a video on your favorite bottled sauces?? Cuz we dont want to admit it, but we all use them sometimes, lol.
PoweredbyPlants I've done a video on my favourite Asian ingredients which might be useful but that's a good idea for a video!!! 😀
Those look very tasty!
I love your videos! You should have an app similar to tasty or tastemade, that compiles your videos & recipes. Lol
Goodluck!
I'm trying to transition to vegan, any tips or tricks that will make it easier
