hello lovely people okay so in the
superfoods program one of our hero
ingredients is tofu let’s just kind of
have a little chat about it I challenged
15 today to make me a nice fresh lunch
with tofu but this is literally being
dressed in soy little lime juice little
rapeseed oil lovely herbs loads of
veggies and it’s delicious
very very simple way to do it but give
it a chance guys so where should we
start
nutritional okay and tofu is fantastic
it’s absolutely full of so many good
things of course it’s made from soya
beans although you can make it with
other beans and beans as we know are
fantastic for us it’s a really good
source of protein so in 100 grams of
tofu about 8.5 grams of protein it’s
fantastic a woman needs about 45 grams a
day so really really important
especially if you’re vegan or vegetarian
okay because that protein often comes
from meat and fish
it’s absolutely riddled with great
things like calcium and phosphorus
brilliant for bone health so really
really good in that sense as well
there’s a whole lot of macro nutrients
as well and I could kind of give you a
long list like thiamine manganese and
stuff like that and say what they do but
generally speaking good body health so
let’s get on to solve the cooking and
the emotion of stuff 15 maybe 20 years
ago tofu and meat replacement okay
you’ve ruined it already guys it’s not a
meat replacement okay it really isn’t
the Japanese have been making tofu but
God knows how many years okay it’s an
artisanal incredible thing in its own
right you’ve got the soft silken tofu
this is shiny and smooth and delicious
and then if you keep pressing it and
squeeze out more kind of a of the liquid
you get something that can be pressed
into something more condensed and with
more kind of texture this is better for
sort of cooking and stir frying it’s a
brilliant carrier of flavor so whether
they’re mild subtle flavors delicate
delicious or really pungent strong you
know curry pastes and sort of fermented
flavors like miso and stuff
can handle it a few recipes put you some
links to amazing when you whizz up tofu
silken tofu you can make it’s a very
clean base and two really good chocolate
it makes a spectacular chocolate pot or
mousse so click the link below and check
out the recipe it couldn’t be simpler
I’m talking about two minute recipe guys
that will if you get good chocolate it
will blow your mind
texturally and flavor wise and it’s also
vegan friendly as well which is great
because normally mousse is whatever
loaded cream also I’ve done a really
delicious veggie burger which is really
really fun in my new book James everyday
superfood so I’ll put a link to that as
well and then the lovely girl poo she
has done a lovely stir-fry whipped tofu
that I’ll do a link to because that’s
what she uses every day back home and so
check out her recipe as well so that’s
it big love if you’ve got great ideas
with tofu if you love it then then put
it down in the comments box below little
things the little quirky things that
make us want to use it and love it and
it should be celebrated we’re just being
an all-around brilliant healthy
delicious food but like any food guys
like any me any fish or anything it
needs love care attention a little
restraint and good taste okay and then
you’ll be laughing anyway over and out
now
