      The reverse osmosis trick also works very well to marinate tofu in miso, which, after several weeks of marinating, transforms the tofu into a very addicting cheese-like product.

    This looks so good! Here's a typed up version:
    1 block extra firm tofu
    1 small saucepan
    water
    salt
    1 Tbsp Vegemite
    baking sheet
    parchment paper
    olive oil
    pepper
    onion powder
    garlic powder
    paprika, smoked paprika is best
    1 green bell pepper
    1 small onion
    baby bella mushrooms
    skillet
    3 slices vegan chao cheese
    nutritional yeast
    Sodium Citrate
    whisk
    1/4 cup water
    hoagie bun
    vegan mayo
    Drain 1 block extra firm tofu, no need to press it. Slice tofu in half lengthwise. Fill a small saucepan halfway with water and salt it. Add 1 Tbsp Vegemite. Bring to boil on high heat. Throw 2 slices tofu in the pot and simmer for 20 min. Get a baking sheet and line with a sheet of parchment paper and grease it with a little olive oil. Slice the tofu as thin as possible crosswise (shorter side) with a knife and place overlayed on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Preheat oven 350F / 180c, goes faster with convection oven. If no convection, just add a few extra minutes to baking time. Drizzle some coconut aminos and olive oil over the tofu slices. Sprinkle some black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika (smoked paprika is best) over tofu slices. Bake at 350F / 180c for 30 minutes but watch it closely! It should be drier and crispy, but not burnt. While that bakes, dice 1 bell pepper, 1 small onion, and some baby bella mushrooms. Heat some olive oil in a skillet and cook the veggies down, seasoning with a little bit of salt (not too much, tofu is very salty as is) and some ground black pepper. In the meantime, let's make the cheese sauce. Put a little water in a small saucepan (rinsed out one from earlier?), enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Bring to almost a boil, water should be steaming. Add 3 slices of vegan chao cheese slices to the steaming water along with a handful of nutritional yeast and a small handful of Sodium Citrate to keep the cheese in a saucy consistency. Whisk the cheesy sauce with a whisk. The tofu should be done around now. Pull tofu out of the oven and roughly chop while on baking sheet still. Break apart the tofu pieces with hands and toss into skillet with the cooked veggies. Drizzle some olive oil into the skillet and add about 1/4 cup water, enough to cover the bottom of the pan, drizzling water over top so everything steams for 4-5 min. Get a vegan hoagie bun, slice it open lengthwise, spread vegan mayo on it. Top with tofu veggie mixture, then drizzle cheesy sauce over it. Cut in half crosswise for easier eating and admiring the steak-like tofu.

    FYI, when I made this, I kept some of the dried strips of tofu and kept them aside. It ends up being the closest thing to turkey bacon I've found. I'm adding liquid smoke to the cooking liquid and making BLTs tonight.

    I just made this the other night, and it's probably the best baked tofu I've ever had. First, boiling it in the Marmite broth really added some umami that I've been missing. For the baking, I've found that that for an oven without convection it takes about double the baking time (60-65 minutes), but the texture is SO MUCH BETTER than any other attempt I've made at baking tofu.
    One suggestion for a future video: I'd love it if you did a gyro marinade version for both tofu and chick-un.

    Excellent recipe! I used it to make myself a Philly Cheese, but I did one thing different that I think lent to a better texture and easier absorption of the broth. That's not to say that the texture of this recipe isn't great. I actually tried them side by side. When prepping the tofu, I froze one of my tofu blocks (undrained in package). It didn't dry out because I didn't drain it until just before boiling it in the "beef" broth which is actually important so that it doesn't over absorb the salt from the brine, but it did absorb the brine more than the unfrozen tofu because it had holes formed by the ice crystals. This meant that the broth penetrated the tofu and I didn't have to add additional flavor when baking. The frozen tofu had a more fragmented striated texture like a rib eye or fattier cut, the unfrozen tofu was similar to a thin cut top round which is generally less fatty and firmer. Try it out and compare! I used the extra leftovers to make a Philly Cheesesteak pizza which used to be my guilty pleasure :) Thank you for your amazing content! The recipes and ideas in your channel have made being vegan/vegetarian a lot easier for me. I come from a family of barbeque (my grandfather and uncles literally built whole hog smokers and would compete at the state fair) and it has taken a long time to ween myself off of meat.
    If anyone out there is reading this comment and feels stuck in a meat eating rut just know that you can do it. It has taken me almost 4 years to get to this point. First I cut out pork, then red meat, then chicken, then seafood, and now I am fully plant based. A lot of people try to go cold turkey, but human's are generally creatures of habit so for me I went slow and steady so I could really change for good. Good luck and know that I'm rooting for you!

My tofu was too salty, but it worked out by just not seasoning the vegetables. This has a great flavor. I’d suggest it to anyone.

    I tore a block of tofu into bite sized pieces, and sauteed half of it with olive oil, spices, and worcestershire. Oh man, it was amazing! IT LOOKED LIKE STEAK!!!! Just like yours did!! So I did the same with the rest of it today; just made a few french fries on the side. It was terrific. I'm not vegan, but I appreciate plant based proteins because although I LOVE real meat, steak is my number one favourite food; it's too overwhelming for my system. It takes up a LOT of energy just to digest, and I have no energy left to just live life. So meat of all kinds is a once or twice a week treat. Especially my beloved steak with butter and a huge pile of grilled onions, mushrooms, and jalapenos. Been haunting this site a lot, collecting recipes. The hard part is deciding what to make. I have my vital wheat gluten, pea protein crumbles, and the new Shroomeats I haven't tried yet. Looking forward to trying those and also Eat Meati. 🎉

    I have been vegan for nearly 10 years but even I was skeptical. I had a block of extra firm tofu in the fridge so I figured that I would give it a try. Since it was extra firm I skipped boiling the tofu in the salt water. Extra firm tofu isn't packed in much water so I didn't feel that this step was necessary.
    I mixed up a cup of beefless better than bullion, added a few teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, MSG, browning sauce (for color), mushroom seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Removed the peppers and onions from the skillet and added the tofu and the broth and cooked until the broth was completely evaporated before adding the peppers and onions back to the pan. Topped with a Chao cheese sauce and I can truly say that they were fantastic.
    I have made cheesesteaks with crumbles, vegan burgers, seitan, and steak strips, but this is by far and away my new favorite method.

    long time watcher, first time commenter. I made this tofu but didnt make the sandwich bit. It was wonderful and steaky. The yeast extract flavor came in very nice for mine along with the crispy and some chewy. I was wondering if you've had any experience in freezing tofu , I love this so much I want to have it as a go to. Not sure if it freezes well though.

      you can def freeze tofu! there's actually a method of freezing and refreezing tofu to get different textures which makes it get very spongy and fibrous! i highly recommend you try it :) x

    My mother no longer eats beef, she used to love beef stroganoff so much but hasn't had it for about 20 years. We used to make it with thin strips of tender beef steak. I wonder if I could use this tofu beef to make a beef stroganoff for my mom. She's 89 years old and I try to make her happy. At her age giving her foods she likes is a pretty big deal. Last time I visited I made her homemade jam and preserves with fresh fruit that used Splenda, so much better than the sugsr free jams in the store. I get mom to freeze and save all of her apple peels so I can use them for their natural pectin. Mom hates monkfruit sweetener so I do have to use Splenda.
    On my last visit, just for kicks because we were out of real cheese, I made a cheese sauce from oats, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke and roasted peppers. It was a big no, honestly not good. I made chicken-ish nuggets from soy curls, they were OK, but not as good as the plant based nuggets I buy but it was my first attempt. They were edible, especially with the vegan faux chick-a-fillet sauce I made. Next visit I am definitely making Jack fruit pulled pork-ish BBQ. I love your channel, such great ideas, you inspire me thank you!

    I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but I've been trying to reduce my meat intake, and try to do more meat free meals each week.
    I didn't exactly follow the recipe (I pressed it, sliced it, marinated the tofu, then baked it), and then used it the same in the pan, and it was still fantastic. Definitely going to use these techniques again in the future. I feel like this would make a great option for like, chinese beef & broccoli or black pepper steak, or would probably work in a bulgogi or bibimbap.
    Would this fool a meat eater (as a meat eater)? Honestly, if I wasn't paying attention, maybe it would. The texture is great, and honestly better than some of the actual beef based cheese steaks I've had. The flavor is great, but that might be where you could tell that it's not exactly beef. Overall a great recipe and I'll keep using the techniques moving forward and experiment with other places this makes sense.

    Tofu is more like 45% protien so technically not "mostly" protien but still excessively high in protein for a protien source. Considering that people only need about 5-9% protien for optimal health and some normal grain such as wheat, oats, barley abd rye are about 12-18% protien they could also be a main source of protien. As well as nuts, seeds and certain fruits and vegetables (and legumes obviously). Although variety in your diet is best.

    • @phillippinter7518
      @phillippinter7518 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They average amount of protien a person utilizes is 0.66g/kg of healthy body weight (healthy meaning less/your healthy weight if your overweight) eg 40g/day for a 60kg person witch would be 7% if they were consuming 2300kcal/day.
