when i talk about marinating it in diluted soy sauce before frying this is the end result. It looks better in person though the lighting in my kitchen is fucked (i feel like a blind old man in this kitchen. All the lights are this soft fucking yellow, i can’t see shit captain)
the point is more the flavor though it just gives it this good savory base which i think will help people who don’t like the texture of tofu or find it bland even with sauces
Don’t mind if I do looks delish
Thank you i wish i could feed it to you when it’s done
if you do this method though I wasn’t kidding about needing to squeeze excess oil out, damn that shit was oily (now it’s perfect though)
Soy curds in soy sauce?! What next?! A side of edamame beans and gochujang? A glass of soy milk? Maybe a miso soup starter!
Soy’s pretty neat huh
Even if I am more of a chickpea guy :cool-legume:Gochujang and edamame are actually really good?
gochujung with some mayo and ketchup makes a hell of a dipping sauce
yeah everybody is all “sriracha aioli” and forgets the gochujang is RIGHT THERE
What does the ketchup add to it? Is it just to cut the spiciness down a bit?
zesty tang from the tomatoes and a little sweetness, i really think its a critical component of the trio
also to note there is no golden ratio to this trio. you want it less creamy and less sweet? make the main component the gochujung im not ur dad
Heck yeah they are. They’re just all made of soy and would actually weirdly go together
this is one of the times I’d CONSIDER posting to a comm other than chapotraphouse but tbh the food comm doesn’t get much engagement

My wife is starting her vegetarian journey recently, so tofu has become commonplace at our house. It’s honestly so much better and easier to work with than I thought.
Yeah I don’t understand why people have such visceral reactions to it, like, the american public is so brainwashed it’s like they think tofu will chop their nuts off if they eat it
Tofu piccata is really good imo. I skip the soy sauce marinade, but i do marinate it in vegan chicken stock (I find tofu to be almost flavorless so i think it needs some kinda marinade 100%. Overnight at least.) before breading it and frying it, then you just make a buttery sauce thickened with a light roux (or margariney) with lemon juice, capers, parsley
I think it’s as you said. There is so much brainwashing happening with the American public. “Meat is the only good protein” is such a prevalent mentality, it’s wild. Like…beans are fucking delicious, fuck off with that. And tofu rules, it just has to be prepared right. I agree it is a little bland, our first friend tofu tasted like pure vegetable oil and breading, not ideal. But has massively improved since with marinades and a tofu press!
Yo dawg! I heard you like beans, so we put some soy in your soy…
It puts the savory in the bean cheese
…or else it gets …no joy in eating? 🀄
Lmao
Also i know it looks greasy i’m gonna wipe and press some of that off before tossing in harissa
Looks good! I’m imagining putting it on a plate with diced potatoes and playing roulette though
I love tofu so much. I had some for lunch. Probably will eat some for dinner. I haven’t marinated it in a while. I should do that

The problem is the main one is some fucky LED thing that I don’t even know how to change. Like not an LED bulb, i thought it was a bulb but took off the cover and it’s just like a flat thing with an LED and it’s wired into the ceiling
Maybe i can replace it but i give up easily i looked at it and was like idk fuck this
Can probably find a sticker with a model # and then use that to look up the name and a subsequent video tutorial on how to swap it out.
fuck even robert kennedy jr is smarter than me
It’s called gumption son, and if you ever need tips on how to lash a severed whale head to the top of your car I can give you advice on that too.
Those little light modules are usually replaceable. There should be a clip where it plugs into the rest of the fixture so you can remove it. I know on my replacement modules, you can select the color temp so that it will match the rest of your lights. You can get them in a box of 10 or so in hardware stores
