Breast of Tofu

[WEwalked]

What kind of extra-firm tofu are you getting? I always have to press it, or else it crumbles. :(

[RosElisabeth]

@WEwalked I always freeze the firm tofu because it changes the texture of it. Defrost, then cook. It's one of those things that ppl. don't mention.

When the tofu freezes, it makes cracks in it and when it's defrosted, it can be squeezed like a sponge!:)

[takeitorleaveit304]

why does it say breast was that a mistake

[VeganGirl1011]

AWESOME GRILL!!!!!!!! AND RECIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jbadal1]

Thanks for the versatile receipes and the Evo grill, I've never seen anything like that.

[chrixteee]

i love your vids! :D 

[MissJen27]

would you be able to use somthing more heathly in ur recipes? i dnt want to use flavour enhancers or msg.

[everydaydish]

@MissJen27 This is a healthy recipe. There's no msg. Just nutritional yeast, which adds a great flavor, protein and lots of B12.

[Sternschnuppen85]

What could you substitute for the nutritional yeast flakes?

[kaylarblue]

Yeast is a living organism !!!!!

[gaiagale]

@kaylarblue ...good call! : ) ...indeed a colony of living organisms cohabiting (sp?)

...the Italians would exclaim "a punto" laughing respectfully

[Chillsmack]

I've eaten a lot of extra firm tofu - but I've NEVER seen Tofu that firm right out of the package! What brand is that?

[1thislife]

Its hard to concentrate on the cooking when you are so stunningly beautiful.

[kateroonistudios]

are vegans/vegetarians still able to eat yeast??

[kaylarblue]

@kateroonistudios Yeast is a living organism !!!!!

[rukrukki]

hey I love your videos.

[AxelGermany1]

Personally I think that it's wrong to add this much water in the marinade (why use firm tofu and then adding water?). Caltwentynine's idea with the soy milk is good, but I think cooking soy milk, some wine and the spices and pouring it HOT over the tofu is still better.

[ShawnBoucke]

That is a beast of a block of tofu

[djodnyc]

i hope it doesnt taste like cardboard

[ezygrin]

Tofu and granular garlic and granular onion?

Just use fresh ones it is much more healthier!

[digimartyr]

whoa, that's some grill. I have to try this recipe though, usually I make my tofu like nuggets. I'd season them, mix flour and water, season that, then have a bowl of bread crumbs. Mix tofu with, flour/water mix, then drop in bread crumbs, then fry. It's amazing, you can even double batter it.

[Caltwentynine]

swap the water for soymilk

[camarocomputer]

You're gorgeous.

[rush7777me7777]

ayand, a bit of doggy drool...

[FM897]

OMG marinated tofu is awesome!!

[xXSuicideJackXx]

Where can you buy such a grill?

[everydaydish]

You can find them on our website everydaydish(dott)tv

[CoacoaBean08]

i love tofu and I love this recipe.! :]

[nevergoingtosmile]

your dog is cute

[punaviinius]

This is fab. Thank you so much for sharing!

[fdzwes]

See, now this is the stuff that should be on TV, not the typical crap. Com'on Fox, Go Vegan!

[partyongarth420]

im sure there is vegan stuff on tv occasionally its called. cooking shows"".... and the reason its not on tv as much as regular meat cooking is cause majority of people arent vegans.. personally i just bought some tofu.. and im waiting on eating cause i know its gonna taste like shit.. but i wanted some alternate sources of protein. no one said u cant mix soy and meat

[camper88]

Allow me to suggest foregoing the casserole dish for marinating and instead using a freezer bag that locks. It helps marinate all of the tofu, takes up less space and fits more easily in any area of the fridge (the door for example).

[nyunyu12]

great recipe! where would you be able to get the nutritional yeast? or can you just use normal yeast?

[everydaydish]

Definitely don't substitute regular yeast for the nutritional yeast. They are very different things. Look online or in bulk bins at well-stocked grocery and health food store.

Good luck!

[nyunyu12]

thank you!

[peanutking242]

a suggestion... try freezing the tofu and thaw it to create pockets in the tofu....and add kosher gelatin to the marinate....

that way the tofu will hold more marinate and the gelatin will improve texture

[mandyx4z]

Can't wait to try this!! Thank you!

[XatxiFly]

Yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

[skr0oface]

@ 5:50 you got me so excited to BBQ!

[fezan84]

Where can I get nutritional yeast? I've never heard of it before. I've been considering going vegetarian for a while -- I'm really getting tired of meat and the messy, potentially microbe-infecting residue it leaves on all my utensils and pots and pans when prepping for a meal.

Cute dog, btw!

[erinnn222]

You can usually get it at a co-op or natural foods store, or in the natural foods section of your grocery store. Red Star brand is one brand I know of, but I usually buy it in the bulk section of my co-op. You can also buy it online, I believe, at veganstore(dot)com or veganessentials(dot)com

[adriandoher]

oh jeesh that looks really good!! Thanks for this recipe!!! i will try it as soon as posible! :D

Just one small question, Julie: what can i do if the firmest tofu i can get is really moist, and when i try to press the liquid out it crumbes apart. Can you share a technique i could use to firm up a bit more this kind of tofu? I would really apreciate it! thanks again have a great day! :D

[mfranck1]

You are likely squeezing it too hard. I recommend putting the block of tofu in a clean dish towel and then pressing gently to help express some of the water. Similarly you can use the same technique and put a book on top of it for a while. Just don't let it squish too long or it willl crumble. You dont want to "dry" the tofu out, it will still be moist, but not as WET. Another idea is to freeze the tofu and then unthaw it before use, that will give it a more chewy texture and less moisture.

[adriandoher]

thanks!

[gaiagale]

@mfranck1 ...thank-you for the tip : ) ...but unthaw?!? : ) ...that would be to what 'freeze' or maybe re-freeze?!?

I trust you are smiling or at least understand the spirit of my comment ...it's kind of like Breast of tofu?!? ...what's up with that?!? ...vegetarians eating breast of any sort?!? ...incidently I've enjoyed marinated firm tofu for years and simply called it 'marinated tofu'

[balletgirl2311wp]

hi just wondering where u can buy that grill?

[everydaydish]

You can find it on the everyday dish website (everydaydish(dot)tv), click on "marketplace"

[y3llowbr1dg3]

as a vegetarian i really enjoyed the video! great stuff, i had mine on some nice toasted wheat bread mhmmmm. thanks again

[TheZuz689]

I'm going to try and make some tonight.

I have to go get some more nutritional yeast though, I used the last for my scramble this morning.

I'll let you know how it turns out ;)

[guillecara]

Hi it looks good but she doesn't tell you how many spoons of any of the items. She only tells you how much tofu you need. You need to Improve on your video so people can follow you

[askalice50]

All the ingredients for this and tons more recipes are on the Everyday Dish website. Google it. It's great!

[thatoneguyonline]

I just made this on the grill and it was pretty good! I used wheat flower and it was still crispy.

1) Don't turn it too soon or you might lose some of the coating.

2) Only make half the coating mixture if you're only going to use one block of tofu.

Thanks, again Julie! I like your videos, they inspire me to stay vegan.

[sleepycat79]

Hi Julie, looks really good. What does it taste like without the breading?

[everydaydish]

It still tastes good, but I really like it with the coating.

[john7137]

Hi Julie - These were fantastic - thanks so much! I have been eating the leftovers cold for breakfast, as a sandwich on toast with a little Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning. I already have another batch marinating!

[everydaydish]

So glad you enjoyed them! Bryanna has some amazing recipes, and this is one of them.

Aren't they killer on a sandwich?! I'll have to give them a try with Tony Chachere's.

[mustafatahirawrah]

Sounds good...can I bake this? If so at what heat and for how long?

[AutumnBrooke]

I love easy prep things, and this definitely seems to fit the bill.  I love that you can marinate it for up to a week. How convenient. I can't wait to try it!

[Mehektet]

OMG! Thank you so much for this!  I will defenetally be making his next week.

[ViolinCyndee]

Ooooooooooo gotta make this! Keep the recipes and videos coming, please!!
