“The BEST Ways to cook Tofu. (5 recipes, easy & TASTY)” üzerine 48 yorum
Just thought "i'd love to see some mina video rn" and there she postes 26 seconds ago!! <3
Aaa this is going to be so useful!! Mina's videos are the most peaceful things ever 💖
This is so incredibly well timed for me, I was just revisiting tofu recipes from Mina videos! This notification was both very welcome (as always) and also very surprising
For me it was mindblowing when I made the grated tofu for the first time, so I guess that's my favorite way – but I also just add Tofu cubes to any stirfry or curry or just basically anything 😀
I didn’t know what to do for lunch but now I’m shredding tofu!! Thank you Mina! I always love your videos! Very wholesome and relaxing! ❤
I have to try all of these
3:40 i love nora cooks! i found sooo many amazing dessert recipes there that i come back to time and time again. i didn't know there were savory dishes on that website, thanks!
Thanks to beautiful Mina for these 5 tofu recipes and tofu is among my favourite vegan ingredients. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞& appreciate Mina.
minaaaa i have tofu expiring tmr and u saved meeeee ty 🫶🏼 love your videos so much 🥹
Thank you for these amazing videos that you share ! I love the diversity of recipes
My favorite way is to roast shredded tofu in the oven for like 30 minutes. I use a marinade of gochujang, sriracha, agave syrup, white miso paste, paprika, cumin, soy sauce and garlic. It ends up tasting like a vegan gyros, just so much richer in spices.
this is lovely, actually! just today me and my roommate had some wraps with tofu and veggies for dinner, and i was wondering if i could prepare the tofu in some different way 🙂 thanks for the tips!
I think what I love most about your channel isn't the recipes (although I loved every single one I ever tried) but that you really thaught me how to cook and how to just mix together a few ingredients to have the nicest sauce/ topping/ combination. Cooking with this method is so much fun and makes what I eat so versatile without being super fancy or effortful. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for that♥♥♥!
My favorite way to prepare tofu at the moment: crumble into small pieces, add paprika and soy sauce and fry it until crispy – makes a great "minced meat" for sauces or just to eat with some rice and korean cucumber salat!
Great ideas thankyou, I use lots of tofu but I had very few ideas so now I'm inspired 😊
❤❤❤❤❤ lovely way to end the weekend
hi Mina, thanks for these recipies, look delicious
Toll gemacht ❤
best way to start my sunday morningggg☺
Anyone else ever feel like it would be the best to just hang out with Mina and cook? Or is it just me? 😅
As much as I love tofu, I think chickpeas (or, really, any legume) are my favourite ingredient to cook with. Also soooo versatile. Just like tofu!
I'm not a hat person either, but I like the idea of wearing things just cause they are fun, regardless of whether it's flattering or not. You look good though 😊
That wooden spatula with the heart is so cute 💕
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Slightly off-topic but what brand is your piano? I've been looking for one for a while and was just wondering 🥰
Thank you for the video Mina! 🙂
I want to say thank you Mina. I have been stressed and doomscrolling a lot in the USA this week and just having a calm, consistent break with your sweet videos has helped more than I can say or more than I even realized myself. I will certainly try the cookie cheesecake as a self care treat this week. Please keep sharing your cozy content 💖
I feel like extra firm tofu here in the U.S. looks softer than yours
this video made me want to rewatch starstruck so bad haha
also, that biscoff tofu mousse!!! 🤩
Love Tofu and I always love finding new ways of preparing it! Been looking for an easy 'Butter Chicken' recipe, gonna try that soon!
Ahhhh my heart leapt of joy when I saw the video in my feed 😍 of course I’m always happy about a new Mina video but this TN and Tofuuuuu my loooove – made my day!
i make a variant of the first recipe all the time after another older video of yours!! i mix a sauce of gochujang, soy sauce, rice vingar, garlic and literally anything else i have on hand. it's so delicious
Great video….everything looked delicious ❤❤❤
Picking a favourite tofu cooking method is like picking a favourite child
WE Just Had Yesterday Tikka Masala with the in oven baked tofu "Chicken" and it was delicious. I soon will try the Tofu "Steaks" which look interesting…😊
Delicious recipes! Thank you so much!
GOOD MORNING YES I NEED THIS RN
Hats suit you very well!!
5:21 my favorite way to make tofu is breaded. With panko and few seasonings like smoked paprika, black pepper, smoked salt, garlic powder, and than baked in air fryer, LOVE IT
I recently fried tofu with a bit of soy sauce, nutritional yeast, black pepper, seed mix, parsley, and onion and garlic powder. And I love it. It seems to work better when you break the tofu up by hand instead of with a knife. It's really simple, but I add it to almost all my rice and pasta now.
Hey 😁 wo kaufst du deinen Tofu?
Always happy to see a new video of yours <3
This butter chickn looks amazing
Great recipes! I really love how versatile tofu is.
I like freezing and thawing it then marinading and cooking. It's absorbs so much more flavor and makes it somewhat chickeny
you look sooooo cute in the hat btw keep rockin them
i can't wait to try those recipes !!
oh you are so right about normally not having to use a knive when eating vegan meals
Thanks 🌸❤️
The fast parts sounds like „cooking Mama“ from Nintendo. 😂😂😂
Just learned today that you can actually cook tofu! Apparently cooking it drains all the water out
Great ideas!!!! thank you so much 🥰
