The Holy Grail of Veggie Burgers

[TheaDragonSpirit]

I like your website! :-)

[koolhatesme]

Can anyone that reads this give me your best guess?? Is this the plain recipe for, say, ground beef? Like if you wanted to add different ingredients like whole black beans and corn, you'd start with this, correct?

[mizzbella202]

I'm dying I need my tofu guru videos make new ones!!!!

[iammallama]

NEW VIDEOS!!!

[LoveLocked101]

Thanks to you, I might consider becoming Vegan and stay that way with all your food ideas. You are my god now.

[reidchon]

Please make new videos!!

[Coldfire523]

More videos please! I'm going through withdrawals.

[iluvgir12390]

I'm not a vegan but this looks super yummy anyways (:

[lalabear25]

when are you going to make more videos :( my couisns are asking me why is there now more tofu guru?!?! P.s it's driving me carzy

[HarveyHopkins]

BAM .. That looks good fosho. You joined on my birthday as well. Subscribed. WORD.

[psilocybinist]

Ok these look great, I am sure they taste great too. Can't wait to try them thanks for sharing its really delicious eating vegan!

[reidchon]

I am having a withdrawal with no new videos!!! Please post one soon bcuz I am a huge fan!!!

[koolhatesme]

Do you think this would crumble well? Packaged veggie crumbles are always so soggy.

[gabbepawa]

I miss you :(

[victoriaroseh]

CAN YOU MAKE A VEGAN TOP RAMEN!? O_O .... i think i may die without it

[StoveTopHero]

Okay, Ive been watching food videos for the last hour. That was the coolest, most entertaining, super awesome thing on youtube! Please Please post this on our "healthy" cooking competition this month! You would be a GREAT addition. Have a look: StoveTopHero

I can post it for you, with your permission, if you like. Let me know, thanks Mike

[AbartsWorld]

meat is delicious. veganists are dumb

[eljagg01]

@AbartsWorld How convincing.

[AbartsWorld]

@eljagg01 i know

[lesaventuresdedani]

I tried this, and they did hold their shape! However, the texture was weird, maybe I didn't cook it enough but it didn't really get crispy anywhere except the side. It wasn't bad though, I think I am going to experiment with it more... oh also I didn't have black beans, but did have pinto, so I used those instead.

Two questions. What brand of TVP did you get? I got morning star crumbles and it just wasnt the same ....

AND WHY HAVEN'T YOU MADE ANY MORE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!?

[vegiluvsvball]

Where have you gone, O Tofu Guru? I am in need of more recipes seeing as I've made all of yours about 3x each......

[spvstu]

i miss these videos :(

[shinsetsu1985]

:(((( I've absolutely no idea what most of the ingredients are. And even if they are available somewhere, I bet they're waaaay too expensive :(

[eljagg01]

@shinsetsu1985 I know, right? It seems like many vegan foodies are running an international grocery store out of their kitchen or something. I live in Kentucky. What Save-a-Lot am I supposed to find NUTRITIONAL YEAST in???

[shinsetsu1985]

@eljagg01 LOL, I live in Poland and I could probably only get this stuff on the Internet (if at all!). That's too much trouble for me. But if I ever see it somewhere, I might buy it and start stocking up ;D

[seraphsanctus]

Love your show. You should really make a mini recipe book of Tofu gurus most popular , frequently requested recepies book. Presented and created by Tofu Guru Tastebuds. Lol just shootin an idea out there. I would buy! Im not a vegan but i have looked to your show for your fantastic recipes to incorporate into my diet. I love veggies and for my health i needed to incorporate more in a creative way. Thanks a bunch!

[itsponskansfry]

I prefer veggies over meat which is why I'm subscribed. Now I'm watching because you're so entertaining XD Not sure if that was a goal you had in mind but hey, keep up the good work.

[Snipe4261]

That's an awesome measuring cup.

[zacl79]

Wow, who would have known! they look amazing

[LadyAceKitchen]

These look amazing. Unfortunately, I live in a country where I can't get all the necessary products. When I get home, I'll be trying them immediately!

[sk8starr2000]

Man that's looks awesome it's 6 am and I might just make that for diner

[xpixilovesmakeupx]

One word.........yummy.........

[Debxter]

I'm gonna try this later this week. Thanks for doing these videos!

[gumdrop814]

HARRY POTTER TONKS HAIR YAY!

[eatinglightning19]

Why do you sound so depressed in your videos? You are a great vegan cook btw.

[edpavik]

You know, you look a lot like Vanessa Marano, but you talk a lot like Juno from the movie Juno, in my opinion. Don't worry, that's a big compliment!

I love these videos. Even though I am not a vegan, a lot of these recipes make my mouth water. Keep up the good work! :)

[Shellsyy]

I am no vegan, but your food seems super tasty makes me feel like I'm missing vegan food in my life lol you're nawrly!:)

[jennainthesky]

Come back tofu guru!!!

[Dcfan73]

Ya know, I'm a vegetarian, or at least trying to become one, and it's been hard I crave meat all the time, but your videoes keep me going, I mean aside from being amazingly entertaining, with all the great editing, and humor, your also a professional at it all, you show me that just because you don't eat animal products, you can still have a tasty meal :) Thanks!

[HoneyAndSulfur1991]

That actually looks good and I am no stranger to steaks lol. I will try it.

[blaxican2000]

that looks freggin delicious !!!!

[14atran]

POST SOON PLEASE! I miss your charisma!

[iMapleMochi]

OMG My grandma and aunt used to make this and I used to love it so much :o When I watched this vid I started craving it XD I HATE YOUUU!!! LOL I don't have ingredients to make it :( sad face

[IdoneitaFreak]

Go vegans!!!!!!!!

[DebbieParkins2010]

Both of my daughters (ages 19 and almost 21) are Vegan, I lived with them for a while and they got me eating mostly Vegan. Now tha Im back at home without them and their juicer, I am jonesin for juice and Vegan meals. So after watching a few of your videos, you inspired me to continue on that path of healthyness..is that a word? Oh well youre a really neat girl and its cool that you share your knowledge with others, maybe one day you'll get a show on TV Id watch it!

[MilkisPoison]

Can you bake them instead of fry them? That black charring looks unhealthy.

[321olga123]

im hungry

[MrAmbidex1]

you are the most beautiful girl ive ever seen

[FadeTM]

Just wanted to say that I love the face you are wearing in this video!

[MySongNumberOne]

VERY GOOD!

[BlingGrammy]

Have you ever made "wheat Meat"?

[tevvytevv]

But ..... will it blend?

[lilsweets4u22]

i remember you making vegan dog treats. maybe you could make vegan soap.?

[heyheyparty]

So.... your t-shirt.... I'm guessing you dont use/buy "kleenex"....or toilet paper?? :S

[elevensish]

Best veggie patty EVER! Awesome recipe! Thank you so much.

[spdougherty1]

I found your evil twin...EpicMealTime.

[superwoman5060]

just curious: do your song choices for each video have anything to do with what your cooking? you have very good taste in music :)

[colettechien]

i saw you yesterday walking around mass art at 2:30. i would have said hi but i was on a bus. :(

[knifey111]

pliz make a another vid soon :P



[alliecorinnemusic]

My mom makes those quite often

[vegiluvsvball]

I LOVE your videos! Watched all of them in one night a week ago. Haha. Can you do vegan waffles? Like to do in a waffle maker? That would be awesome. Also-where did you get your Kleercut shirt?

[MountainMomma4Ever]

Cool video as always! I saw a poster asking about a recipe for GF vegan burger. I know it's not a recipe but my favorite "burger" is Wildwood Sprouted Tofu burger - it's gluten free and WAY better than any of the vegan/veggie burgers out there. I have Celiacs as well and I'm happy to say they are GF. They also grill up perfectly.

[callierae8905]

I'm a total carnivore, but my son will be on pretty much an all vegan diet bc of a genetic deficiency, and I have to say, this looks super amazingly yummy!

[chadshord]

I will be using your recipe this holiday weekend. Thank you.

[BankruptMonkey]

So would rice flour, or garbanzo, or any other thing work? Totally gluten free here.......

[TheTofuGuru]

@BankruptMonkey Sorry, those won't behave the same way the wheat gluten does. :(

Feel free to give it a shot - I just can't vouch for the results.

[MsCruellady]

@BankruptMonkey You could always try Quinua instead of the bulgur. It works almost the same way. For the vital wheat gluten flour you could try to use corn flour/rice flour and blend it in a bowl with grated psyllium seeds/Ispaghula husk. The psyllium seeds hold the dough together. Or you could use a gluten substitute as GfG. Hope this helps :)

[icedevil0289]

looks good. can't wait to try it. I recently tried your lasagna and gyros and both were a big hit with my parents, especially the gyros.

I was wondering if you might be able to come up with a recipe for vegan hotdogs.

thank you

[DominicRiv]

I'm a vegetarian and I don't think of veggie patties as a meat substitute. The reason why meat are made into patties is b/c it is a convenient shape. The veggie burger isn't trying to be a substitute rather it's just taking that shape which is most convenient.

[bloodrayne45]

You're cute how can you lie to yourself like this ;( it's no way to live.

[meganc16]

These look really yummy but is there anything I can use to replace the mushrooms? PS luv your hair!

[snazzydee15]

Where do you get all of your stuff, like the nutritonal powder and textured stuff I forgot the proper names haha, thanks

[Scorpio13000]

i love veggie burgers! i personally dont consider veggie burgers to be a replacement of meat. i think it is it's own delicious category.

[nostalgiamyantidrug]

Mmmm. I really want to try this. Where can you get the ingredients to this? Also, if I don't have a food processor, can I just use a blender?

[ladyiola]

Excellent! I'll try it.

[loveendurance]

Btw I love tofu!!:)hate eggs!

[loveendurance]

Great!I am vegetarian, but working my way to being Vegan! This looks so good! Yummy

[1missbittersweet]

I love your recipes

I am not vegan but I am health conscious and I eat pretty healthy, most of the time I exclude meat from my diet, I do not think I am ready for giving up dairy and eggs entirely yet ;)

[albdj24]

Can't u go on a vegan diet if u are allergic to penuts p.s I like your videos and u goot some killer music I'm to punk and blues music

[johndharvey]

I feel like making a veggie burger taste and feel more like beef is a step backward. Black bean burgers FTW.

[gordonlstrom12]

you are great.

[hptwilighter]

Yum!

[TheHappyz]

did it come out yummy?

[princesscitric]

these look amazing!

where do you find nutritional yeast?

[TheTofuGuru]

@princesscitric Sometimes regular supermarkets carry it, but it's easiest to find at health food stores like Whole Foods - they'll know what you're talking about. :)

[ShaolinDove]

I was a Vegan for 10 months not Any more because I'am a Body builder Sorry Vegan Family.. :(

[drgatita]

@ShaolinDove That's not a problem. Look for information on the Internet. The director of Earthlings, Shaun Monson, is a body builder. Courage and GO VEGAN! :) veganbodybuilding (dot) com :D

[akmalhakimvlog]

omg this is so fuckin fun :D

[Pimpintology]

Youre hot, I hate Tofu. Hope that helps.

[MrIsaacBlack]

This looks so good! Vegan for almost 4 years, and my mother and I have never been able to perfect the vegan burger (she's vegan, too, along with my sister). We'll totally try this!

[MrRobloxianman]

That looks delish!!!! Even though I'm not vegan but still!!!

[DarkFilter612]

Why is their a golden bald fat guy half naked behind you?

[weegee62]

I was wondering, how long would the shelf life be of each patty if I were to contain it and pop it in the freezer? Or is this a meal that is meant to be eaten right away?

[TheTofuGuru]

@weegee62 I haven't tried freezing these yet, but I know that the uncooked dough keeps in the fridge for about a week. It tastes the best fresh, but I bet it would freeze well too.

[FreaknJoshwa]

I'm not subscribed to you? shame on me. I subscribed. :D

[Nocturnavis]

Looks delicious. I'm just annoyed that ingredients like nutritional yeast and TVP are so expensive here. I'll have to try it on a special occasion. I love the video though!

[SuperDuckyNarwhal]

veggie burgers from scratch?? very impressive! :) just wondering if you went through a bunch of trial recipes and stomach aches!

[MostYourBase]

Non vegan/vegetarian here.. why is it that vegans/vegetarians eat imitation meat? I don't mean to offend or anything, but wouldn't that idea be a bit... repulsive?

I get the part about making a sandwich with a grilled patty made of vegetables.. but why even compare to meat (i.e. texture)? Shouldn't it just be a vegan sandwich that just LOOKS like a hamburger?

If people are vegetarian for health reasons, then I get that too.. but i don't get it if it's for moral purposes.

[Nocturnavis]

@MostYourBase I'm vegetarian for moral purposes, but I used to eat meat. I grew up with it, and many of my favorite foods are meat based, like hamburgers. I loved the taste, and probably still would if I ate it. Therefore, replacements that taste similar and give me the same feeling, without killing an animal, are very welcome.

[courtneypants]

holy veganese. i picked you for "thestation2 is watching you" last fall, but then lost track of you...you look so different! also, those look delicious, but i most certainly would somehow manage to destroy the recipe =/

[TheGrayChannel]

I like this girl's innocence. The world is just a sadistic menagerie of predators and prey, but that doesn't seem to bother her one iota.

[missy85363]

I love the video.. I almost didn't recognize you!

[VictorvdHorst]

what a work for a burger.

wy don't cut a cow in pieces.

done

bye

love the vids

[johmarie7]

wow i want to eat that now.

how do you know all these recipes?

(VEGANPOWER!!)

[ruthomom]

can i get this ingrdients in the regular supermarket? i would love to make them.

[colettechien]

great tattoo B!

[HeTaLiAiSaWeSoMe]

This was uploaded on my birthday.

[kamichamakarin2008]

@HeTaLiAiSaWeSoMe Really? Happy birthday! Hope it was as awesome as Prussia! Wait... Is that even possible? XD

[colettechien]

@HeTaLiAiSaWeSoMe a vlogbrothers video was uploaded on my birthday

[itsabitofnuffing]

I was with you till you put the mustard on it. But looks like a good recipe. Awesome!

[OfficeHopscotch]

How prominent is the mushroom flavour? And are there alternatives that can be used instead of mushrooms? I just can't stand the taste of mushrooms.

[TheTofuGuru]

@OfficeHopscotch For the most part they get blended in with all the other flavors, so I don't really notice them. But I'm sure it would still work if you omit them entirely!

[justjacqueline2004]

Tried your recipe,which was quite expensive here in the UK,tasty but very oily.Any chance of removing oil?

[TheTofuGuru]

@justjacqueline2004 The oil's pretty necessary - otherwise they stick to the pan like crazy... You could experiment with the amount to try and get it down to the bare minimum, I usually use half the oil shown in the video when I'm just making these for myself. Good luck!

[theeastwatch]

Hmmm I don't have any of those ingredients but it looks good.

Faved the vid, I'll see if I can't order the stuff to make this next time I have the extra cash. thanks for posting.

-TEW

[GothLolipop]

The only reason why i'm just vegetarian not vegan is that i really hate the taste of tofu. cant stand it :/ makes me sick

[theeastwatch]

@GothLolipop Tofu doesn't really have a taste. Thats why its easily turned into so many dishes.

but hey, I'm not saying youre not allowed to dislike tofu :)

-TEW

[lolitaglitter]

@GothLolipop LOL. I am a vegan and I don't even eat tofu...rarely if ever. Try googling vegan recipes and see what you come up with. You may be in for a surprise. :)

[litomousie]

-DROOL-

[SMGCompany]

That actually looks so good! And I am not a vegan, whatsoever :)

[GooodAsian]

Because you uploaded a video, my day has become awesome :)

[HarHarHellooo]

woah, it looks like a real beef hamburger, triple thumbs up(:

[xseasonxchangex]

@fdsal0

I know I'm falling victim to a stupid troll but man, I'm not even a vegetarian and I love these recipes. I'd be proud to make and have that burger.

[naithom]

Can't wait to try this for my son, David! Thanks.

[ikeorch7]

So, as a vegetarian in South Texas (where beef is literally everywhere >_> ), veggie burgers were the first thing I discovered... I didn't even know there was controversy over it... Anyway, I love all your videos, and they've helped me find new ideas for vegetarian/vegan meals. Thank you so much! :D

[jkeeler2]

you remind me of ramona from scott pilgrim

[teddy5615]

what she said- Add ... cumin

what I heard- Add ... human

[sheenashine17]

Yummy! I love your videos!! <3

[jerpidge1]

wow that look so good! :)

[foxer135]

i like your hair

[Foifede]

Haha the little buddha statues in the beginning are so cute!

[superwoman5060]

i love you.

[TheSweetestVegan]

I dont care if vegans replace meat or not, but I dont really like the taste of meat or faux meat, but your VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!

[ATearWillShed]

[actshort]

I love you.....?

[2Humans1Dog1Cat]

Can't wait to try it. Looks really good!

[fashiongurl37]

[HelenicSeaways]

Your ingenious recipes make me want to be a vegan!

[HelenicSeaways]

I nearly leapt off my chair in excitement upon seeing the title of this video. Heartiest congratulations on achieving the impossible! :D

[hippyfriend]

Happy Birthday a day late John :)

Great burgers.

[lifd56]

Gah! I am sooo going to make those! I have been vegetarian for almost a year, and I'm in love with your channel! Thanks for all the awesome recipes! :D

[joey20070]

[marielgetsreal]

[Minoentje]

I'm not even vegan, but I LOVE your videos, can't stop watching them. I love your personality. Greetings from Belgium

[Epocseer]

@Minoentje Ditto, I LOVE!!! MEAT!!! But as a chef, i can enjoy a delicious recipe!

[MicoolJay]

@Minoentje Try vegetarian for a week. You might like! It took me about 3 weeks to lose the taste of meat from my tastebuds. Then all vegetarian foods began to pop with flavor!

[turdfacesaywhaaaa]

I don't even eat vegan food. But i love your videos.

[johmarie7]

@turdfacesaywhaaaa why dont you eat vegan?

[turdfacesaywhaaaa]

@johmarie7 Because i don't want to.

[Ziroana]
