Chicken (Tofu) Style Strips - Vegetarian/Vegan

[AdamSeeb]

Supr resipe - I'd ad crusht cumin in the bredkrumz.

[RomanDonna]

How large (in weight) is your "pack" of tofu? I keep finding tofu recipes that just say "a package" or "a pack". I'm in Italy, and what I find here won't necessarily be the same thing as your standard size package, and I may have to adjust the recipe a bit. Thanks!

[mbed0123]

Tofu is interesting.



[ashleigh190291]

I am going to try this tonight! I can't believe some of the ignorant comments on this video.

And RummyKunt, ofcourse the inside is still white. When you marinade chicken does the flavour seep in through all of the chicken meat? No it doesnt. GAH!

[need2know4]

Hello, Thanks for the tip. Gave me some great idea. I was hoping for someone talking and showing you step by step, but it's cool.

[veganblogs]

awesome videos and bg

[Xlolita89X]

I haven't tried this yet but it looks so much tastier than the Quorn stuff! I'm going to fav this for future recepie!

[vergon69minas]

why do vegans want meat flavored dishes>?

[itsMinuteMaid]

@vergon69minas The reason many people are Vegans is not because they don't like the taste of animal products, but rather the cruelty that's involved in the the treatment of those animals that are used for food, and as well their eventual slaughter. Many Vegans (especially in the U.S.), were raised on these animal products and bi products, so they have naturally developed their tastes for those particular things. So, Vegans attempt to replicate those tastes without the cruelty or animal slaughter

[myagalactic]

Can't believe we save 100 animals a year, GO VEGANS!

Thanks for this recipe, I didn't know about leaving the tofu that it would take this taste. Seems so delicious and I have all the ingredients, I think that's what I'm gonna do for dinner :D

Loved being Vegetarian and it wasn't enough, I realize I was being not good to animals yet, now I'm Vegan

Everyone who loves animals, who loves Mother Earth or is awaken will turn Vegan

[deadwillwalk77]

Making this tonight. Looks delicious! I love being vegan. :)

[Adriennea1]

I LOVED the flavor of this recipe!!! Great job!

[beanpie0262]

Thanks new to this lifestyle change and learning to experiment with different recipes and protein sources. I enjoyed the video.

[kimberlily1983]

I made this a little while ago, and am going to make it again soon (just need to get to the store for some tofu!); it's fantastic! I'd never cooked with frozen and thawed tofu before, love the texture it gives it. Will definitely make this for my omnivore parents next time we visit, as well as a vegan cheesecake recipe I found on the Vegan Pandamonium site. I wish I could make everyone try these delicious recipes...

[RonaldBarone]

with all my respect... but if you are so proud to call yourself vegan... why do you still want to eat something that has or kind similar flavor of meat?

[kimberlily1983]

@RonaldBarone I don't know why people see a conflict here. Many people who go vegan lose the taste for meat, and many don't. Some miss the taste, and products/recipes like these go a long way keeping them on a vegan diet. Others, like me, do not miss the taste of meat at all, but enjoy simulated meat products. The taste is not 100% identical, but it's enough to satisfy those who miss it, and it's delicious for many of us who are completely grossed out by the real thing.

[djadvance22]

@savvy1954 and how exactly do you measure "one layer of the atmosphere"?

[Kaunstrikter]

I hate the music to this vid. & I end up coming back to it with out realizing it. Shit man! SHIT!

[stsxlalala]

That looks seriously delicious.

[MyNameIsBret]

Ah, when you said defrosted tofu, I took that simply as tofu that isn't frozen. Now I know why my "firm" tofu has the consistency of custard, even when I drain it properly..

The brand wouldn't have anything to do with it either, would it? I get the feeling mine's just cheap.

[xXSuicideJackXx]

Looks delicious...it reminds me a little bit off the things I used to eat at KFC some years ago (shame on me -.-).

Vegan Greetings from Germany! ;-)

[sicpooch]

vegan for a year saves 100 animals

[RogueTerenasEU]

This is so true. How could a person deliberatly decide to be responsible for the deaths of a hundred innocents?

[coolrecursion]

@sicpooch thank you for saving the animals and keeping the meat prices down for us

[Nigelxman]

@sicpooch I think it's actually 103.

[KungKevinRS]

@sicpooch im not sure, correct me if im not right but vegans dont save any animals? They still kill them but throw the meat away instead? im not sure but i cant see how vegans SAVES animals.

Sorry for my bad english but please, answer :)

[alexanderkunzli]

@KungKevinRS You're mis-informed. It's about supply and demand. Vegans don't consume anything animal related so therefore the demand decreases - or should do - over a period of time. It's easy to assume that everything in society that's supplied to us isn't demanded in the first place - one of the reasons that Humans don't question the mass slaughter and cruel treatment of animals worldwide is because 'it's already been killed'. People don't tend to think the other way around.

[RandomXxrainbowsXx]

@sicpooch so do vegetarains!

[maltazor]

this looks wonderful.  i'm going to try it!

[jblackapple]

cool.... I like your oven mit NO 1! lol

[susanneyu]

Love the recepie, I am marinating my Tofu now, thank you

[xsavethequeenx]

Did you freeze and the thaw the tofu to give it a chewier texture?

[VegetarianDatabase]

did you watch the whole video? the first ingredient listed says "1 pack defrosted firm tofu"

[xsavethequeenx]

I'm aware that you listed defrosted tofu. I asked if that was because it gave it a chewier texture, just like my question states. I've never bothered freezing tofu. I was just wondering why you froze it.

[VegetarianDatabase]

sorry i do apologise, i didnt read your question properly... yes, to give a better texture :)

[viper8red]

@VegetarianDatabase How could it give it a better texture. Freezing and thawing it should be the same?

[bluenick305]

I love being vegan!

[donivendetta]

the music is so well chosen...it relects a peaceful way of eating

[lilwave123]

people whos hair are falling, is because they have some sort of nutrition deficiency. Its not very easy at all to not get enough nutrition on a vegetarian diet. Its weird because people usually think the opposite (like with protein) but the average American actually get WELL over the daily allowance.

Like with any diet, variety is important. Not just to please you taste buds, but to get all the different nutrients.

[UzumakiMatrix]

is this healthy?

[lilwave123]

hell to the yea! if your a vegetarian you should watch how much soy you eat though :)

[UzumakiMatrix]

I substituted my milk to soy milk and I don't intake a lot of tofu. But I'll give this a try.

I have heard it's a little risky to substitute all your dairy for tofu, but for now, all i'm drinking is soy milk. I hope my hair doesn't fall nor anything lol.

^_^

Thanks for the relpy

[lilwave123]

nah, people's who's hair falls out are relying to much on junk food, and not getting enough variety.

you shouldn't have to worry to much :)

[Xinoutorah]

Yes variety is important, remember too much of ANYTHING is bad, whether it be all soy or all milk :)

Take care

[VegetarianDatabase]

@lilwave123 I agree, we should vary our sources of protein. Before being veggie I was never exposed to pulses and beans, but a few years down the line and now as a vegan, I love experimenting with all kinds of pulses, and one portion counts towards five a day!

[meltalk]

mmmmmmmm

[dandelion45]

beautiful dish!

[aquapoet1]

Thanks for sharing such a quick, easy to follow recipe. I was so intimidated by tofu until I watched this. I'll be trying this recipe asap!

[silverblaize]

this looks good :)

i love the calm music, its soothing and relaxing.

[qert079]

man.. this seriously takes veggie diet to another level.

i am seriously considering converting myself to healthy veggie diet and i am pretty much convinced.

thanks for the video!

btw, at what temperature you set to "bake" the chicken? :p

[chevon2020]

ohh, Yum. thats great and I enjoyed the relaxing music

[Houses03030]

that looks really good!!!

[lavenderlove889]

That looks great, I'll definitely have to try making it sometime! :) Thankyou

[RTypeMuseum]

Looks delicious and I really would like to try it out but unfortunately I cannot find a tofu as big as the size shown in your video.

[SisterSunnshine]

I use McKay's "chicken" flavor broth mix.. it works great for this type of dish!

[back5347]

omg, yay!

[hxcchick]

that looked yummy.

[StripedxSocks]

Mmmm, that looks delicious! I've been searching everywhere for simple and creative tofu dishes like this. Thank you for posting!!

[dirtydodger]

i will make this for dinner tonight, and in the future i will remember to blast my speakers with a shotgun before watching this again.

[jamcobs]

LOL!

[rotcafarg]

Heheh. I was waiting for Celine Dion to burst in and start wailing.

[TierraC44]

That looks awesome and I love the music. Thank you

[animalliberation0961]

Hey looks yummy, thanks for the recipe!

Can't possibly define just how horrible I found the music.lol

[81vic08]

i dont have numbers on my stove

[watsthatsmell]

hi! i have just recently become vegetarian, im still confused whether i like tofu or not. could you send me this recipe in a smaller amount, if its not to much trouble? i dont want to make alot of tofu just to find out i dont like it. thanks so much! :D

[Xinoutorah]

just convert it to a smaller recipe it's not too hard

[forevermuddledme]

how many calories would this contain roughly if you know, sorry, great dish by the way!!! :)

[Rummykunt]

hmm this was my first attempt they didnt come out too good :X i think i didnt let them sit in the marinade long enough becaus when i bit into one the insie was stil white

[VegetarianDatabase]

The recipe listed is for a light flavour, you can double the marinade amount to increase the flavour... good luck!

[Rummykunt]

sorry for my bad username its a friends account but i was wondering do i use just plain powder or can it be All purpose powder unbleached too?

[VegetarianDatabase]

Any is fine

[honestliving]

Not going to lie, this music makes me wanna shoot myself. Other than that great video. Does the tofu have to be frozen before hand, or can you just buy... err.. fresh tofu?

[VegetarianDatabase]

For this recipe I would recommend freezing the fresh tofu as it creates a more suitable texture.

Sorry about the music - I was going for tranquility and peace not suicidal... thanks for your input, I will take it into account.

[SandraLondon63]

The music is peaceful, I think if people get depressed with it, they probably are already depressed. Sorry. I like the recipe but unfortunately do not like the taste of soya milk. Can we replace this with coconut milk instead?

BTW, I am vegetarian too, so nice to see people like you! Thanks so much.

[VegetarianDatabase]

I'm not sure that would work so well, as coconut milk has a distinct flavour, also it is rather unhealthy and fatty... have you considered rice milk?

[SandraLondon63]

I never tried rice milk. Perhaps I should. BTW, I have very low cholesterol. My problem as with many vegetarians is low vitamin B12, low iron and low vitamin D (Vitamin D is from sunshine though...hehe)

[VegetarianDatabase]

Rice dream is the most expensive but the best tasting imho. Just some facts: Vegetarians don't need to supplement with B12 but Vegans do, it's a bacteria that's washed off vegetables, and deficiency signs only appear after 5 years, you can take a supplement a weekly dose of 2000ug. Millet is high in iron, as are Goji berries which have more iron than steak.

[SandraLondon63]

Oh, thanks for the info on Goji berries. Can we get these in England? Part of my iron problem is due to a health problem that I had last year and I had internal blood loss. The B12 I was told it could be due that I was born without intrinsic factor (although I never was told this before I was 36). I really don't like to overdose myself with vitamins, I did that with B12 on one occasion and I was told to stop immediately (apparently high B12 can increase cancer risk).

[VegetarianDatabase]

Curly kale and many other green vegetables have 6 times more calcium than cows milk. Flaxseed oil has 6 times more omega 3 than fish oils and no toxicity risk, hemp seed oil has omega 3, 6 and 9 in the correct ratio that the body needs it.

[SandraLondon63]

Thanks. I love an Italian vegetable called Cavolo Nero. It is used in expensive restaurants such as the River Cafe here in London, but has also recently been available at some supermarkets (Waitrose and Sainsburys). The taste is incredible and it is a lot richer in iron than spinach. Like I said, the taste is super delicous if you fry it with olive oil, a litle chilli and garlic and serve on top of nice pasta. Only problem is that now is no longer in season, but remember next Winter. Take care.

[rangergranger]

The music if fine. In fact, it's one of the reasons I watch these vids.

[NadrianATRS]

the music is ZZZzzz...

[rangergranger]

What would make ME shoot myself would be a recipe video set to the music of Rent, Spring Awakening, or some other shallow Y-Generation pap.

[sushigerl]

i thought bouillion cubes had meat juices in them??

[VegetarianDatabase]

not vegetable ones... in this case i used powdered not cubed too

[schpongl3]

That looks absolutely delicious

!

[moiptt]
