Will you marry me? ._.



[TheNolo73]

A good looking healthy Vegan Male for once! Myth busted!

[TheOctopus89]

Nice lightswitch cover! Haha. Love the videos!

[ZombieGate]

@TheOctopus89 haha thanks! you have to make due with what you have in the zombie apocalypse ;)

[rrupple85]

Happy new vegan, day 6 baby! Cold turkey and never looking back!

[ZombieGate]

@rrupple85 AWESOME! Congratulations!!!

[runnergurrl55]

I was wondering if you have a preference between tofu or tempeh. I've been told that tempeh is really incredible but I have no idea what to do with it! Do you have any recommendations?

[ZombieGate]

@runnergurrl55 I like both. We are currently working on some tempeh recipes so we should have a video in the near future.

[Stormerki]

cries

this recipe

it's perfect in every single way.

[ZombieGate]

@Stormerki :)

[xtraluv4u]

Can I ask what kind of training you've had? You cook like a professional chef. Any professional culinary training?

[ZombieGate]

@xtraluv4u Thank you. Lots of years of cooking and graduated from Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC.

[Tabathawabatha]

Is this still sort of mushy after it's baked? I eat super-firm tofu regularly, but I press the heck out of it and grill it for a firm bite.

[ZombieGate]

@Tabathawabatha It is firm and will stay together a lot better than before it is baked. But it's not chewy, it's easy to bite into.

[Tabathawabatha]

@ZombieGate Sa-weet! I love me some tofu, but I'm a bit of a texture freak. Anywhoozle, I'm marinating some right now. Thanks!

[ZombieGate]

@Tabathawabatha You're welcome! Let us know what you think of it.

[elfezombie]

is your dog vegan?

[tlx1124]

did you just play the shit out of indie?

btw this recipe is golden :')) been looking for something like this! also, that was like, seemed more like a half cup of olive oil you put instead of a 'tsp' ... maybe the zombies contaminated my water and i cant think straight

[ZombieGate]

@tlx1124 haha you got me, sometimes I go a little overboard with my olive oil :P

[vegansoaps]

looks yummy

[vegansoaps]

did you say wiquid like elmer fudd at 251

[ZombieGate]

@vegansoaps hahaha, I think so!

[Inkandtofu]

This is in the fridge marinating! I'm excited to try it! Most of the other baked tofu recipes I've seen have soy sauce and sage and are a little boring.

[john7137]

I'm just taking a batch of this out of the oven! Thanks!

[melanietube]

could u tell me how to press the tofu? pleas c:

[ZombieGate]

@melanietube That just means drain the water out of it. Put a paper towel on the bottom and one on the top of it and place a plate or small book or something with a little weight but not too heavy on it and leave it for 15-20 mins.

[melanietube]

@ZombieGate Thank you. I had just heard of other ideas like freezing the tofu and what not, but since it's this easy I will be making this recipe soon.

[Sugarmak123]

Awwwwwwww! Your so cute with Indy/indie

[HannahJayneWest]

Im scared to try tofu.. but I bought some to do this because I trust you haha

[ashleeluxe]

You are so great! I love your videos! I was singing your intro earlier today. Thanks for this recipe! I can't get baked tofu in my area. I'm going to make this Sunday! :)

[twizelby]

dr jones dr jones hold onto your potatoes

[andrewscottclark]

Can you make like a vegan apple or bananna cream pie pleeeeaaaassee! :D

[itsMinuteMaid]

This video wasn't that great. I was hoping you would have actually made some sort of meal with that.

[ZombieGate]

@itsMinuteMaid this was to show how to make the tofu that we used in our quesadilla and our alfredo videos. Some people couldn't find the Tofu Lin where they lived, so we wanted to show how easy it is to make their own. We also have an upcoming video that uses this tofu. We did the same with the veggie broth video... make this tofu and add it to your alfredo. You won't be sorry!

[BiohazardBunney]

@itsMinuteMaid Rude....

[veggiekidsblogspot]

I'm making this tonight! I just so happen to have some tofu in the 'fridge right now...woohoo!

[BiohazardBunney]

God that looks so good. I love tofu!! When I started being vegetarian I hated it, tasted like dirty socks lol now that I make it RIGHT, it's comfort food. I took advice from that omelette video you made and added some mustard and worcestershire suace while it was cooking in a scramble, a.ma.zing! I became addicted to liquid smoke too, why eat disgusting bacon when you can just get the same taste from all natural juice? :D Just felt like gushing for a sec lol

[OdatCat]

what a handsome dog. 

[BlueSeaWendy]

THANK YOU :D



[AAR112008]

"Ingredients hard to find": what is LIQUID SMOKE? Sorry, never heard of this over here... But I love your recipes all the same, lol. Greetings from (unfortunately still really not veganly) France ♥

[ZombieGate]

@AAR112008 It's easy to find, first you get yourself a fire breathing dragon and then...just kiddin ;P. It's kinda like a marinade with a strong smoky BBQ type flavor. If you can't find it, don't worry. You can still make this tofu. Use some mesquite and maybe a little worcestershire sauce. It might not taste exactly the same but it should still be good!

[AAR112008]

@ZombieGate I lOVE DRAGONS, lol. Thanks for your advice ;) (although I have another "ingredient hard to find": "mesquite" - sigh). Guess I'll try without those: with the other ingredients it should be enough to be fine for me ♥

[BiohazardBunney]

@AAR112008 Liquid smoke is the most delicious thing ever. I mean, you don't drink it, you drop it on stuff, like tofu, collard greens, tempeh, or whatever you want to replicate the flavor of bacon. It's amazing. Salty, sweet, smoky flavor. Well, thats why people like bacon--smoky salty flavor, may as well get it from the source, the smoke itself <3

[AAR112008]

@BiohazardBunney Thanks for your help! As I never liked bacon anyway, I'll try this "baked tofu" possibly without any smoke stuff, lol.

[maciekkk123]

Man this is great idea! I need to give a try!

[rockhsalt]

Are you a puppy? AAoooh! <3

[andrewscottclark]

Aww indie is such a cool doggie :D

[xoxluckycharmsx]

aww i want those kisses......j/k it's illegal i got a boyfriend already

[ZombieGate]

@xoxluckycharmsx Warning, boyfriend police!!!

[giantshimano]

thanks for another great vid!!

You said we sud squeeze it yet I didnt see you squeeze it? No? Not for this recipe?

New guy here; Just trying to make the switch. Thanks again

[ZombieGate]

@giantshimano Well, you don't wanna squeeze it so it falls apart. Put a paper towel down and one on top of the tofu. Then place a plate or something with similar weight on it for 10-20mins to drain the excess water.

[vStacy89]

I'm going to try this one today!

[buttfukbarbie]

I LOVE your channel! I just switched to a whole-foods diet somewhat suddenly. Whenever I get a craving for anything I used to enjoy, I always stop by your channel to get ideas. Made your lasagna rolls last week and it's just like my mom used to make. No joke. My own mom couldn't tell it was vegan :D

[ZombieGate]

@buttfukbarbie Awesome and thank you!

[MrDrewLarison]
