How to make tofu taste legit Episode 1 A new series in my attempts to let the tofu non believers know that tofu can in fact taste legit- as long as you bring the flavorz (I'm gonna show you how)! I posted the video of how I built these nachos on my Instagram : @thedailykale Follow me over there to see my video content ;) I must say these were 1000 % inspired by Yard House! Yes out of all places, Yard House inspired these damn poke nachos. Unfortunately I haven’t been to Hawaii and tasted the real deal of what I can only imagine is insanely delicious and refreshing poke! Although I have had another place here in L.A. that I’ve heard is pretty authentic and it’s also really good (Sweetfin). But again, this particular recipe I created was my try at the dish I love to order when we go to Yard House. *Also can I just mention, it has been my dream since I was a kid to go to Hawaii. So if y’all wanna just put that wish out there for me in the world, I would so appreciate it! Without further ado, I give you, Poke Nachos. What you'll need for the nachos: Truffle aioli Rice paper chips Crispy garlic Spicy Mayo Cilantro Scallions Sesame seeds Edamame Purple cabbage Avocado Nori
Assembling the nachos:Remember, The amounts of certain ingredients are completely up to you. I added a little tofu into each rice paper chip. Then added edamame, cabbage, avocado, spicy Mayo, teriyaki glaze, truffle aioli, cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds and the crispy garlic. *Notes* If you won’t be eating these immediately I highly recommend not plating these a head of time because the rice paper will become soft with wet ingredients in it for too long. So if you were serving these at a party for example, serve it in a guacamole style/ deconstructed nachos way. Have the chips alone in a bowl and all of the other ingredients separate. Ummm DIY Poke Nacho Party anyone ?! Sounds fun to me ! ENJOY Y’ALL! tag me on Instagram @thedailykale if you make it !!

Rice Paper Chips
(Makes 16 chips )
Directions: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cut your rice papers into triangles. One rice paper makes 8 chips. Drop in one triangle at a time. It’ll puff up very fast, about 1-2 seconds so take it out fast and tap off the excess oil. I didn’t season these because I am making nachos but by all means if you ever want to make chips or a vegan ‘pork rind’ have fun with your seasoning! I personally think they taste good as is. |
