00:00:10.74\00:00:12.31
A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:12.34\00:00:13.78
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:30.26\00:00:32.19
My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:32.23\00:00:34.46
And you know I
always say eat the rainbow,
00:00:34.50\00:00:38.10
eat the rainbow.
00:00:38.13\00:00:39.47
People say it, well, if
you eat the different colors,
00:00:39.50\00:00:42.77
what about white food?
00:00:42.80\00:00:44.97
Well, there are a lot
of different varieties
00:00:45.01\00:00:47.61
of vegetables that are white
00:00:47.64\00:00:49.58
like I did the
jicama on one show,
00:00:49.61\00:00:53.52
and then we have white onions.
00:00:53.55\00:00:55.55
And today I'm using fennel.
00:00:55.58\00:00:57.92
Fennel is a delicious kind
of liquorish taste vegetable
00:00:57.95\00:01:02.82
and it adds a great topping
to any salads or any dishes.
00:01:02.86\00:01:08.23
So let me read the recipe.
00:01:08.26\00:01:09.63
I'm doing a carrot-fennel salad
00:01:12.63\00:01:15.30
with maple-lemon vinaigrette
and a macadamia and cheese.
00:01:15.34\00:01:20.54
For the vinaigrette we need:
00:01:20.58\00:01:22.24
For the macadamia
and cheese recipe I need:
00:01:38.03\00:01:41.53
For the salad we need:
00:02:00.45\00:02:02.25
So we're using this
wonderful little tool,
00:02:19.27\00:02:21.87
it's called a Mandoline
00:02:21.90\00:02:23.47
and it gives you uniform slices.
00:02:23.51\00:02:27.28
So we're gonna slice the fennel.
00:02:27.31\00:02:33.62
Oh, it smells wonderful.
00:02:33.65\00:02:36.32
And we just use
this and make sure
00:02:36.35\00:02:41.62
that you are very
conscious of what you are doing.
00:02:41.66\00:02:44.26
You are not talking to anyone
00:02:44.29\00:02:46.26
and you wanna thinly slice it.
00:02:46.29\00:02:49.10
Until the end.
00:02:56.57\00:03:00.01
And you wanna reserve
00:03:00.04\00:03:01.38
these little, the
green part of the fennel,
00:03:01.41\00:03:04.21
so you can use
them as decoration.
00:03:04.25\00:03:08.28
So we have the fennel here.
00:03:08.32\00:03:10.92
I'm gonna put it in a bowl.
00:03:10.95\00:03:12.29
Now with the other fennel.
00:03:23.23\00:03:24.57
And we have some
carrots that have been shredded.
00:03:28.90\00:03:32.51
I'm gonna toss that.
00:03:35.91\00:03:37.25
This is a real
quick and easy recipe.
00:03:37.28\00:03:41.32
And it's a different taste
than most people are used to
00:03:41.35\00:03:44.72
but it is a great
accompaniment to any meal.
00:03:44.75\00:03:47.96
And then I'm gonna put
some red onions in here.
00:03:52.23\00:03:55.36
And for the vinaigrette,
00:04:06.84\00:04:11.11
we just, oh, I need this again.
00:04:11.15\00:04:13.52
For the vinaigrette,
00:04:13.55\00:04:15.42
we're gonna mince
00:04:15.45\00:04:19.69
our garlic, clove,
00:04:19.72\00:04:23.73
and this recipe only
requires one appliance,
00:04:23.76\00:04:30.17
is the food processor.
00:04:30.20\00:04:35.10
So you don't have a
lot of different appliances
00:04:35.14\00:04:37.77
that you need, you
just need a good knife.
00:04:37.81\00:04:40.91
So I'm gonna pour my olive oil,
00:04:45.95\00:04:49.65
my lemon and my maple syrup,
00:04:49.68\00:04:57.63
and my sea salt,
00:04:57.66\00:05:01.46
and then my garlic.
00:05:01.50\00:05:02.83
And I'm gonna let that
hangout for a little bit
00:05:08.80\00:05:10.94
so the flavors will mingle.
00:05:10.97\00:05:13.74
Now, in my food processor,
00:05:24.85\00:05:27.02
I'm making the
macadamia and cheese.
00:05:27.06\00:05:29.89
So I have some macadamian nuts
00:05:29.92\00:05:33.66
that have been soaked overnight,
00:05:33.70\00:05:38.77
and yeast flakes,
00:05:38.80\00:05:42.14
lemon juice,
00:05:42.17\00:05:46.47
and green onions,
00:05:46.51\00:05:53.85
and let's give it a whirl.
00:05:53.88\00:05:57.85
You don't wanna
process it to, it's a mush
00:06:18.04\00:06:20.41
but you want to let
it be a little bit grainy
00:06:20.44\00:06:23.45
so it represent
like feta cheese.
00:06:23.48\00:06:26.18
So you wanna take this
00:06:32.15\00:06:34.72
and put...
00:06:34.76\00:06:38.19
your cheese on here,
00:06:42.56\00:06:49.20
spread it up
00:06:49.24\00:06:50.57
and make sure
that you dehydrate this
00:06:50.61\00:06:54.71
for about maybe four hours.
00:06:54.74\00:06:56.24
And it comes out
like so wonderful.
00:07:03.55\00:07:10.13
Look at it.
00:07:10.16\00:07:11.49
It just, it looks
similar to parmesan.
00:07:11.53\00:07:16.16
So now we take a marinade
00:07:16.20\00:07:21.27
and pour it over the salad.
00:07:21.30\00:07:23.00
Make sure that it's mixed.
00:07:26.61\00:07:28.34
Remember those are fennel tops,
00:07:34.75\00:07:37.72
just take a little bit of them
and sprinkle it into the salad
00:07:37.75\00:07:41.99
so we have a little color.
00:07:42.02\00:07:43.39
I'm gonna take our walnuts.
00:07:55.77\00:07:59.97
Kind of crunch
them up a little bit
00:08:00.01\00:08:03.21
while you're sprinkling it.
00:08:03.24\00:08:04.71
And last but not least,
00:08:10.15\00:08:12.79
our macadamia and feta cheese.
00:08:12.82\00:08:15.69
Yummy.
00:08:19.16\00:08:20.50
Now this was
really easy and quick.
00:08:24.67\00:08:28.30
Now you can dehydrate
this for about four hours
00:08:28.34\00:08:32.94
for the macadamia and cheese
00:08:32.97\00:08:34.71
or you can just use this
00:08:34.74\00:08:36.08
straight out of
the food processor
00:08:36.11\00:08:37.55
but I like it to
firm up a little bit.
00:08:37.58\00:08:40.32
So this is what makes it look
like the cheese consistency.
00:08:40.35\00:08:44.25
So it has been
another great recipe
00:08:47.26\00:08:50.16
on the Taste of
Paradise with Evita Tezeno
00:08:50.19\00:08:52.96
and, remember,
to live life fresh.
00:08:52.99\00:08:56.46
Welcome back to A
Taste of Paradise,
00:09:02.40\00:09:04.11
where you know we
are always cooking up
00:09:04.14\00:09:05.47
something good on
this side of town.
00:09:05.51\00:09:07.44
Today we are gonna have
something special for you.
00:09:07.48\00:09:09.61
A lot of people
are asking questions,
00:09:09.64\00:09:11.31
soy, what about it?
00:09:11.35\00:09:12.68
Is it good? Is it bad?
00:09:12.71\00:09:14.05
Or whatever and
we've explained that
00:09:14.08\00:09:16.05
on several shows before,
00:09:16.08\00:09:17.79
but a lot of
people don't know as well
00:09:17.82\00:09:19.72
how to actually make tofu.
00:09:19.75\00:09:22.49
How is tofu made?
00:09:22.52\00:09:23.86
Where does it come from?
00:09:23.89\00:09:25.23
We know it's soy, what
do they do to the bean?
00:09:25.26\00:09:27.06
Do they pulverize it?
00:09:27.10\00:09:28.70
Do they mix it up?
00:09:28.73\00:09:30.07
Do they crush
it? What do they do?
00:09:30.10\00:09:31.83
Well, today we're gonna show you
00:09:31.87\00:09:33.20
some simple, simple
things on how to do it.
00:09:33.23\00:09:36.00
And what I've realized is
00:09:36.04\00:09:37.51
as you tell adults
all the time this, this,
00:09:37.54\00:09:40.61
for some reason they forget.
00:09:40.64\00:09:42.28
So I said, let us
focus on the young adults
00:09:42.31\00:09:45.15
because if we can educate them
00:09:45.18\00:09:46.92
on some of these
principles and these things,
00:09:46.95\00:09:49.12
it will last them a lifetime,
00:09:49.15\00:09:50.59
so Nyse won't have to repeat
it again and again and again.
00:09:50.62\00:09:53.89
So, I brought my own nephew here
00:09:53.92\00:09:55.89
to come and hangout with us
00:09:55.92\00:09:57.26
because this season
we're gonna be doing stuff
00:09:57.29\00:09:59.19
with the kids as
well and here he is.
00:09:59.23\00:10:02.40
Maquel, what's
going on, brother?
00:10:02.43\00:10:04.30
How you doing,
Nyse? You doing all right?
00:10:04.33\00:10:05.77
Yes, sir, I am. How you doing?
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.30
I know he looks like my nephew
00:10:07.34\00:10:09.54
but he's probably
eating too much tofu
00:10:09.57\00:10:12.34
or something like that.
00:10:12.37\00:10:14.04
How old are you now? I'm 17.
00:10:14.08\00:10:15.71
Seven...
00:10:15.74\00:10:17.08
Seventeen, you know what I mean?
00:10:17.11\00:10:18.51
Check this out.
00:10:18.55\00:10:19.88
All right, 17?
00:10:19.91\00:10:21.38
How tall are you?
00:10:21.42\00:10:22.78
About 6'2'', 6'3''.
00:10:22.82\00:10:24.59
Are you sure?
00:10:24.62\00:10:25.95
Let us line up here real quick,
00:10:25.99\00:10:27.36
you know, 'cause I tell
people I'm a 5'11'' and 99.9
00:10:27.39\00:10:31.19
so I think I could get 6', no?
00:10:31.23\00:10:32.63
Possibly.
00:10:32.66\00:10:34.00
On a good day, on a good day.
00:10:34.03\00:10:35.36
That's why I brought the
hair back as you can see.
00:10:35.40\00:10:36.90
But you have some good hair too.
00:10:36.93\00:10:38.27
So what grade are you in?
00:10:38.30\00:10:40.47
Eleven.
00:10:40.50\00:10:41.84
Eleventh grade.
00:10:41.87\00:10:43.20
Now you know a
lot of parents say,
00:10:43.24\00:10:44.57
oh, my teenagers or adolescents
00:10:44.61\00:10:46.27
or young adults
they don't like to cook.
00:10:46.31\00:10:47.81
Do you like to cook?
00:10:47.84\00:10:49.34
I like to eat, I don't really...
00:10:49.38\00:10:51.81
So it is true.
00:10:51.85\00:10:53.18
It is true.
00:10:53.21\00:10:54.55
They don't like to
cook but they like to eat.
00:10:54.58\00:10:56.65
I could tell, brother,
you better eat too much.
00:10:56.69\00:10:59.42
But I don't know
where he's going,
00:10:59.45\00:11:00.79
it's like a bottomless...
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.16
Yeah.
00:11:02.19\00:11:03.53
What do they
say? Bottomless pit.
00:11:03.56\00:11:04.89
Uh-oh, well, it's not bottom
00:11:04.93\00:11:06.26
'cause this is
reaching high on this man here.
00:11:06.29\00:11:08.10
Well, thank you
so much for coming
00:11:08.13\00:11:09.60
and hanging out with uncle.
00:11:09.63\00:11:11.10
And hopefully we can
learn some things one day
00:11:11.13\00:11:13.57
when I grow and
become a strong young man,
00:11:13.60\00:11:16.30
I'll look like him
one day, all right.
00:11:16.34\00:11:17.71
So check it out, you
better watch out here.
00:11:17.74\00:11:20.38
We're gonna make
some tofu. Yes, sir.
00:11:20.41\00:11:21.91
You know how to make tofu? No.
00:11:21.94\00:11:23.78
Not quite, that's why
I brought him on the show
00:11:23.81\00:11:25.51
so he can learn.
00:11:25.55\00:11:26.88
Remember, the key is
if you can teach them now,
00:11:26.92\00:11:28.65
they'll last a lifetime.
00:11:28.68\00:11:30.02
But do you eat tofu?
00:11:30.05\00:11:31.39
Oh, yes, I do.
00:11:31.42\00:11:32.75
Did you hear
anything good about tofu,
00:11:32.79\00:11:34.12
bad about tofu?
00:11:34.16\00:11:35.49
I mean, it's
healthier than eggs.
00:11:35.52\00:11:36.86
That's for sure.
00:11:36.89\00:11:38.23
All right. Yeah.
00:11:38.26\00:11:39.59
Healthier than eggs, so
all right, that's for sure.
00:11:39.63\00:11:40.96
You heard some bad
things about it too?
00:11:41.00\00:11:42.70
No, actually I haven't.
00:11:42.73\00:11:44.07
Good, good because you know what
00:11:44.10\00:11:45.43
they have been saying lately,
00:11:45.47\00:11:46.80
they say people who
eat boys, little boys,
00:11:46.84\00:11:48.84
who eat a lot of
soy and stuff like that,
00:11:48.87\00:11:51.67
they say they start
to have feminine traits
00:11:51.71\00:11:53.68
or qualities and all
of these other stuff.
00:11:53.71\00:11:56.28
You heard this man's voice?
00:11:56.31\00:11:57.65
Do you eat a lot of tofu?
00:11:57.68\00:11:59.01
Yeah, I do actually.
00:11:59.05\00:12:00.38
You hear that voice,
00:12:00.42\00:12:01.75
ain't nothing
feminine about that.
00:12:01.78\00:12:03.12
You know what I mean?
00:12:03.15\00:12:04.49
This is, you know, my name
is Maquel Harris, all right.
00:12:04.52\00:12:05.85
So good, so it's
been working for you
00:12:05.89\00:12:07.22
and today we're gonna learn
how it works for all for us.
00:12:07.26\00:12:09.16
We're gonna learn
how to make some tofu.
00:12:09.19\00:12:12.03
So teach us here,
00:12:12.06\00:12:13.40
'cause we're
gonna learn together,
00:12:13.43\00:12:14.76
how to make some tofu.
00:12:14.80\00:12:16.13
Here's the simple, it's
like so simple, bro, I mean.
00:12:16.16\00:12:17.67
It's just two ingredients.
00:12:17.70\00:12:19.03
It's just two
ingredients, all right,
00:12:19.07\00:12:20.40
so here's the
ingredients on how to make tofu.
00:12:20.44\00:12:23.27
Maquel, tell us how it goes.
00:12:23.30\00:12:24.64
So it's easy as that.
00:12:31.41\00:12:33.38
Yeah, and anything else?
00:12:33.42\00:12:36.42
That's it.
00:12:36.45\00:12:38.85
Literally, I'm telling
y'all this thing is so easy
00:12:38.89\00:12:41.42
and I don't know
why people are like,
00:12:41.46\00:12:42.79
ah, they put this
in that, that and that,
00:12:42.82\00:12:44.39
this and that, that and that,
00:12:44.43\00:12:46.03
it's a piece of cake.
00:12:46.06\00:12:47.43
So what are we gonna do?
00:12:47.46\00:12:48.80
We're gonna take
basically the four cups of what?
00:12:48.83\00:12:51.53
The soy milk.
00:12:51.57\00:12:52.90
Soy milk, this man
needs some power bars
00:12:52.93\00:12:54.94
or something
like that, no problem.
00:12:54.97\00:12:56.54
The soy milk and
then we're gonna add what?
00:12:56.57\00:12:58.37
The lemon juice.
00:12:58.41\00:12:59.74
Lemon juice, what
does lemon juice works as?
00:12:59.77\00:13:01.34
As a coagulant, all right?
00:13:01.38\00:13:04.48
So what that's gonna do
00:13:04.51\00:13:05.85
it's gonna bring it all together
00:13:05.88\00:13:07.22
and stuff like that.
00:13:07.25\00:13:08.58
So I'm gonna head
over to the pot here.
00:13:08.62\00:13:09.95
We already got it boiling.
00:13:09.98\00:13:11.32
All right.
00:13:11.35\00:13:12.69
Oh, look at it, it's
starting to get good there
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.42
and I'm gonna need
you to give me a hand.
00:13:14.46\00:13:16.29
I got you.
00:13:16.32\00:13:17.66
Let's grab the lemon juice.
00:13:17.69\00:13:19.26
And get it going.
00:13:19.29\00:13:20.63
So what are we gonna
do, we're just gonna pour
00:13:20.66\00:13:23.10
in the lemon juice there,
00:13:23.13\00:13:24.47
just a little bit and hold up.
00:13:24.50\00:13:25.83
Let's get it going
00:13:25.87\00:13:27.20
because what is it trying to do?
00:13:27.24\00:13:28.57
It's trying to co... Coagulant.
00:13:28.60\00:13:29.94
Coagulate, yep,
oh, look at that,
00:13:29.97\00:13:31.44
did you see that, bro?
00:13:31.47\00:13:33.48
What!
00:13:33.51\00:13:34.84
So just pour a little bit more.
00:13:34.88\00:13:36.21
Maybe get some more
coagulation going on.
00:13:36.24\00:13:38.65
Pour it all in actually.
00:13:38.68\00:13:41.52
And then, oh, my glory.
00:13:41.55\00:13:45.49
You have, do you see what I see?
00:13:45.52\00:13:47.09
Yeah.
00:13:47.12\00:13:48.46
What does that
look like a little bit?
00:13:48.49\00:13:49.82
A little bit like tofu.
00:13:49.86\00:13:52.03
This is not like
rocket science here.
00:13:52.06\00:13:54.86
This is so
simple of how it's made.
00:13:54.90\00:13:57.80
The only catch is a lot
of people when they go ahead
00:13:57.83\00:14:00.44
and use that coagulator
or whatever like that,
00:14:00.47\00:14:02.67
they try to use
other things so they...
00:14:02.70\00:14:04.17
Some people may
even use Epsom salt
00:14:04.21\00:14:05.97
like you use googling
00:14:06.01\00:14:07.34
and stuff like that or whatever.
00:14:07.38\00:14:08.71
So if you look it up,
00:14:08.74\00:14:10.08
they will be
like, add Epsom salt.
00:14:10.11\00:14:11.45
I'm like, why are
you gonna add Epsom salt
00:14:11.48\00:14:12.81
and then put this in your body
00:14:12.85\00:14:14.18
'cause Epsom salt, you know
what Epsom salt is good for?
00:14:14.22\00:14:15.55
Cleansing?
00:14:15.58\00:14:16.92
All right, so some people
might use it for cleansing
00:14:16.95\00:14:18.52
but also,
because of the magnesium,
00:14:18.55\00:14:20.72
they take baths in it.
00:14:20.76\00:14:22.36
So it's very good for the skin
00:14:22.39\00:14:23.73
and it helps to relax
the muscles and all of that.
00:14:23.76\00:14:25.59
You play ball or
anything? I play basketball.
00:14:25.63\00:14:27.20
Yeah?
00:14:27.23\00:14:28.56
I saw your dad
hopping other day.
00:14:28.60\00:14:29.93
Did you dunk on
him or something?
00:14:29.96\00:14:31.53
Almost, almost, almost.
00:14:31.57\00:14:33.17
Well, I'll get it one day.
00:14:33.20\00:14:34.67
You will be
able to dunk one day.
00:14:34.70\00:14:36.57
You know how to
dunk down? I can dunk.
00:14:36.60\00:14:38.01
Oh, I was about to say, brother.
00:14:38.04\00:14:41.54
So they use Epsom salt
00:14:41.58\00:14:44.48
to relax the muscles
and stuff after a game,
00:14:44.51\00:14:46.82
like I was playing
basketball other day as well,
00:14:46.85\00:14:49.78
and I'm not gonna be.
00:14:49.82\00:14:51.39
I'm gonna tell you the truth.
00:14:51.42\00:14:52.75
My bones, my muscles was hurt
00:14:52.79\00:14:54.86
and these guys I
thought they were playing
00:14:54.89\00:14:56.49
football out there.
00:14:56.52\00:14:57.86
I mean, they were hurting me
00:14:57.89\00:14:59.29
and I just took some Epsom salt,
00:14:59.33\00:15:01.16
took a nice warm bath,
00:15:01.20\00:15:02.66
and what happens to
the muscle, they did what?
00:15:02.70\00:15:04.10
Relax your muscle.
Relax and stuff like that.
00:15:04.13\00:15:06.03
Cool.
00:15:06.07\00:15:07.40
So here it is so
we boil the what?
00:15:07.44\00:15:08.97
What do we boil here?
00:15:09.00\00:15:10.44
So run us through real
quick, we boil the milk...?
00:15:10.47\00:15:12.47
And then we add
it the lemon juice.
00:15:12.51\00:15:14.24
And we add it the lemon juice.
00:15:14.28\00:15:16.08
That's how simple it is.
00:15:16.11\00:15:17.45
Then we're going
to take a little what?
00:15:17.48\00:15:19.95
It's kind of like...
00:15:19.98\00:15:21.32
Like a spoon strainer
00:15:21.35\00:15:23.18
or something
like that, all right,
00:15:23.22\00:15:24.55
you do it matter of fact.
00:15:24.59\00:15:27.09
So, go ahead and
you take that out
00:15:27.12\00:15:30.23
and just hold it
right there for a second,
00:15:30.26\00:15:31.59
I want everybody to
see this real quick,
00:15:31.63\00:15:32.99
just don't move, don't move,
00:15:33.03\00:15:34.36
hold it right
there, check that out.
00:15:34.40\00:15:35.80
Look at tofu in action.
00:15:35.83\00:15:39.20
Can you believe that?
00:15:39.23\00:15:40.57
It's pretty crazy.
00:15:40.60\00:15:41.94
I mean, nothing
impresses this guy
00:15:41.97\00:15:43.30
at least say, wow,
or something like that.
00:15:43.34\00:15:45.01
He's like he is crazy.
00:15:45.04\00:15:46.51
You know, all right,
and what are we going to do?
00:15:46.54\00:15:48.21
We're gonna put that in
a strainer with cheesecloth
00:15:48.24\00:15:50.95
or just whatever item you have,
00:15:50.98\00:15:53.78
just put it in there.
00:15:53.82\00:15:55.42
All right, and then
we're gonna do it again.
00:15:55.45\00:15:59.05
And we're gonna get
all of that out, man,
00:15:59.09\00:16:00.76
'cause this stuff is,
this stuff is not cheap.
00:16:00.79\00:16:03.39
All right, and then you
have basically scoop it all out.
00:16:03.43\00:16:07.36
You have that, can
y'all see that tofu?
00:16:07.40\00:16:09.06
This is amazing.
00:16:09.10\00:16:11.77
And so hold it right there
00:16:11.80\00:16:14.20
and this is one
of the simple ways
00:16:14.24\00:16:16.10
that you can do it.
00:16:16.14\00:16:17.47
Now, I'm not saying
even though at the beginning
00:16:17.51\00:16:19.44
I was talking about
how tofu is not gonna
00:16:19.47\00:16:21.38
cause these major
problems or whatever,
00:16:21.41\00:16:24.25
but I'm not gonna
say, you should go out
00:16:24.28\00:16:25.61
and drink and eat tofu
and take baths in tofu either.
00:16:25.65\00:16:29.62
But you can enjoy
tofu, it's good for you,
00:16:29.65\00:16:32.45
but the one that
is probably the best
00:16:32.49\00:16:34.29
is not the
genetically modified one.
00:16:34.32\00:16:37.09
So that's the one that we
want to keep our eye out on
00:16:37.13\00:16:39.39
'cause, you know,
sometimes they mess
00:16:39.43\00:16:40.76
with the genes
and stuff like that.
00:16:40.80\00:16:42.13
You heard it or
something? Yeah, I've actually.
00:16:42.16\00:16:43.50
And so they just be
mixing fish and tomatoes
00:16:43.53\00:16:45.93
and all kind of
crazy stuff or whatever.
00:16:45.97\00:16:48.27
But you do a
little farming yourself?
00:16:48.30\00:16:50.24
Yeah. Yeah?
00:16:50.27\00:16:51.61
Well, what are
some things you grow?
00:16:51.64\00:16:53.07
Kale, tomatoes,
bell peppers, eggplant,
00:16:53.11\00:16:58.58
a lot of things honestly.
00:16:58.61\00:17:00.02
This is why he's so tall
00:17:00.05\00:17:02.05
'cause he's growing
and eaten all this kale
00:17:02.08\00:17:04.75
and all of that other stuff.
00:17:04.79\00:17:06.12
Man, pretty good.
00:17:06.15\00:17:08.46
And as a result
00:17:08.49\00:17:10.63
this is actually
very good education
00:17:10.66\00:17:12.19
because if you can get the
kids and everybody like that,
00:17:12.23\00:17:14.86
I can't say he's a kid anymore.
00:17:14.90\00:17:16.23
I get beat up if I do that,
00:17:16.26\00:17:17.67
but if you get them to learn
00:17:17.70\00:17:19.27
how to make these items to
grow their own foods and stuff,
00:17:19.30\00:17:22.97
you literally help
them for a lifetime,
00:17:23.00\00:17:25.61
you help them for a lifetime.
00:17:25.64\00:17:26.98
So now literally
00:17:27.01\00:17:29.31
I would never
have to tell Maquel
00:17:29.34\00:17:30.98
how to make tofu
00:17:31.01\00:17:32.51
'cause he learned
how to do it himself,
00:17:32.55\00:17:33.88
all right.
00:17:33.92\00:17:35.25
So Maquel is not
trying to waste one bit
00:17:35.28\00:17:37.29
as you know soy milk
00:17:37.32\00:17:38.65
is not the
cheapest thing around town.
00:17:38.69\00:17:40.02
No, it isn't.
00:17:40.06\00:17:41.39
But we get one of
the little soy machines
00:17:41.42\00:17:42.76
or whatever, you can
make tons of it yourself.
00:17:42.79\00:17:44.89
So, very good,
we put that there.
00:17:44.93\00:17:47.26
Look at it.
00:17:47.30\00:17:48.63
It almost looks
like scrambled tofu.
00:17:48.66\00:17:50.00
It is looking like that.
00:17:50.03\00:17:51.37
So what are we going to do?
00:17:51.40\00:17:52.73
We're going to put over the...
00:17:52.77\00:17:54.40
Cheesecloth?
00:17:54.44\00:17:55.77
The cheesecloth, very good,
00:17:55.80\00:17:58.67
and then we have
to kind of press it.
00:17:58.71\00:18:00.18
Yeah?
00:18:00.21\00:18:01.54
So, let's grab that
little pot there with water
00:18:01.58\00:18:04.41
and just sit it on there.
00:18:04.45\00:18:07.98
Just sit it on there.
00:18:08.02\00:18:09.35
We're gonna leave
there for a little while,
00:18:09.38\00:18:10.72
what is it going to do
basically it's gonna...
00:18:10.75\00:18:12.25
Strain all the water out.
00:18:12.29\00:18:13.62
Strain all the water out
00:18:13.66\00:18:14.99
and then what are
you gonna be left with?
00:18:15.02\00:18:16.36
Just the tofu. Just tofu.
00:18:16.39\00:18:17.73
Now you really like
tofu, huh? I actually do.
00:18:17.76\00:18:19.89
Yeah, why do you like it?
00:18:19.93\00:18:21.26
It's probably my mom makes
it, it's pretty similar to.
00:18:21.30\00:18:24.10
Mom is making?
00:18:24.13\00:18:25.47
You're too big for mom
00:18:25.50\00:18:26.84
to be still making stuff, y'all,
00:18:26.87\00:18:28.20
if I had kids, man,
soon as they get of age,
00:18:28.24\00:18:31.44
actually it shows as
I was reading one thing,
00:18:31.47\00:18:33.58
it shows that by the
age of eight or nine or ten,
00:18:33.61\00:18:36.28
the kids should handle
the affairs of the kitchen.
00:18:36.31\00:18:40.08
You lucky you ain't my son
00:18:40.12\00:18:41.65
because I would
never have to cook again.
00:18:41.68\00:18:43.69
He'll be doing all the cooking,
00:18:43.72\00:18:45.05
I'll just work and
do what I got to do
00:18:45.09\00:18:46.42
but that's all right.
00:18:46.45\00:18:47.79
I'm not gonna tell you mother
cause I don't want, you know.
00:18:47.82\00:18:49.16
Cashing her.
00:18:49.19\00:18:50.53
You about do your thing,
00:18:50.56\00:18:51.89
all right, so
we're gonna take this,
00:18:51.93\00:18:53.26
we're gonna put this aside
and show us a little bit here,
00:18:53.29\00:18:54.66
if you can grab that,
Maquel, this one here.
00:18:54.70\00:18:58.27
This is what it should
look like overtime, all right?
00:18:58.30\00:19:02.47
So you wanna help
me open it up there?
00:19:02.50\00:19:05.54
And then, we'll get
the cheesecloth off of it.
00:19:05.57\00:19:08.61
Voila! Can
anybody see what I see?
00:19:08.64\00:19:12.38
Do you see what I
see? Look at that.
00:19:12.41\00:19:15.62
That is what it
should look like overtime.
00:19:15.65\00:19:17.79
You ready for this,
ready for consistency?
00:19:17.82\00:19:21.59
Look at that
thing! Check this out.
00:19:21.62\00:19:25.63
Look at that thing go.
Does that look like tofu?
00:19:25.66\00:19:28.06
It does look like tofu.
00:19:28.10\00:19:29.43
It looks like tofu,
you can do it yourself.
00:19:29.46\00:19:32.60
This is really simple and easy.
00:19:32.63\00:19:34.14
You think you'll
try it maybe one day?
00:19:34.17\00:19:35.50
On one of these days.
00:19:35.54\00:19:36.87
One of these days, you sure?
00:19:36.91\00:19:38.24
Yeah. All right, good.
00:19:38.27\00:19:39.61
So what are we gonna do,
00:19:39.64\00:19:40.98
we're not just
gonna make the tofu,
00:19:41.01\00:19:42.34
will you eat that?
00:19:42.38\00:19:43.71
No.
00:19:43.75\00:19:45.08
You just said you like
tofu? Not just like that though.
00:19:45.11\00:19:47.02
Well, how do you like it?
00:19:47.05\00:19:48.38
I like it with like
bread toast I guess.
00:19:48.42\00:19:51.35
So if I just gave you
00:19:51.39\00:19:52.72
that flat little piece
there or whatever like that,
00:19:52.75\00:19:54.26
you're not gonna eat it.
00:19:54.29\00:19:55.62
Because, you know,
00:19:55.66\00:19:56.99
I did a little
pretty one here for you,
00:19:57.03\00:19:58.36
if y'all take a
quick look at this.
00:19:58.39\00:19:59.73
You telling me you
won't eat it just like that?
00:19:59.76\00:20:01.10
With the lettuce
and tomato, yeah.
00:20:01.13\00:20:02.46
Yeah, with the
lettuce and tomatoes,
00:20:02.50\00:20:03.83
but just like that?
00:20:03.87\00:20:05.20
No.
00:20:05.23\00:20:06.57
No, why? It doesn't look good.
00:20:06.60\00:20:08.84
This doesn't
look appetizing to me.
00:20:08.87\00:20:10.21
It's not appetizing
00:20:10.24\00:20:11.57
because we got
to take care of it,
00:20:11.61\00:20:12.94
we've got to cook
it and get it rolling,
00:20:12.97\00:20:14.44
and so some of the
ways you said with,
00:20:14.48\00:20:16.01
with those items but
seasonings and flavorings
00:20:16.04\00:20:18.05
or stuff like that.
00:20:18.08\00:20:19.41
So maybe do you
do scrambled tofu?
00:20:19.45\00:20:21.42
Yeah, with like bell
pepper and tomato and salt,
00:20:21.45\00:20:24.89
you know, different things.
00:20:24.92\00:20:26.25
And salt and it works
and stuff like that, cool.
00:20:26.29\00:20:28.49
So here it is.
00:20:28.52\00:20:29.86
We're gonna make a
simple scrambled tofu
00:20:29.89\00:20:32.49
but not this 'cause I've
done scrambled tofu before,
00:20:32.53\00:20:34.66
you've done it before,
00:20:34.70\00:20:36.03
we're gonna make
tofu lettuce wrap.
00:20:36.06\00:20:39.13
You ever had tofu lettuce wraps?
00:20:39.17\00:20:41.84
No, actually I haven't.
00:20:41.87\00:20:43.20
Yes.
00:20:43.24\00:20:44.57
So what's gonna happen here,
00:20:44.61\00:20:45.94
this is gonna be his first time,
00:20:45.97\00:20:47.38
yes, I am teaching.
00:20:47.41\00:20:48.74
At least you could say
my daddy didn't teach me,
00:20:48.78\00:20:50.45
Uncle Nyse taught me.
00:20:50.48\00:20:51.81
We're gonna make
some scrambled tofu.
00:20:51.85\00:20:53.31
You've done this before,
at least the scrambled tofu?
00:20:53.35\00:20:54.68
Oh, yes.
00:20:54.72\00:20:56.05
And then we're gonna put
that in the lettuce wraps.
00:20:56.08\00:20:57.85
All right, so, here it is.
00:20:57.89\00:20:59.25
The simple recipe
00:20:59.29\00:21:00.76
and if you can
help us with, Maquel,
00:21:00.79\00:21:02.32
read off this
recipe's simple items.
00:21:02.36\00:21:04.19
Grab your pens and papers.
00:21:04.23\00:21:05.56
Here it is.
00:21:05.59\00:21:06.93
Here is the tofu lettuce wraps
or scrambled tofu all in one.
00:21:06.96\00:21:10.30
Okay, you need:
00:21:10.33\00:21:11.67
Excellent. Thank you so much.
00:21:52.81\00:21:54.14
Here we are. We're
gonna make this recipe.
00:21:54.18\00:21:56.54
Man, you already
got started here.
00:21:56.58\00:21:57.95
Look at that.
00:21:57.98\00:21:59.31
You are what,
00:21:59.35\00:22:00.68
what are you
basically doing here?
00:22:00.72\00:22:02.05
Right now I'm sort of
00:22:02.08\00:22:03.42
like grinding the
tofu kind of getting it
00:22:03.45\00:22:04.79
to a smaller
shape and size of the...
00:22:04.82\00:22:08.52
What happened?
00:22:08.56\00:22:09.89
You didn't like it
the way it came out or?
00:22:09.92\00:22:11.53
Warming to get it fully cooked,
00:22:11.56\00:22:13.80
you can't just
cook a block of tofu
00:22:13.83\00:22:15.23
on the stove like that.
00:22:15.26\00:22:16.60
You know, you've got
to actually mix it up
00:22:16.63\00:22:18.33
and mush it down, you know.
00:22:18.37\00:22:20.84
Excuse me, excuse me, all right,
00:22:20.87\00:22:24.24
so what we're gonna do then
00:22:24.27\00:22:26.68
is do what the chef says there,
00:22:26.71\00:22:29.84
and I'll follow the
simple instructions.
00:22:29.88\00:22:32.11
Okay, so where we're
basically crumbling it up there
00:22:32.15\00:22:34.18
but sometimes if you want strips
00:22:34.22\00:22:35.55
or something like that,
00:22:35.58\00:22:36.92
you could just cut it off of it.
00:22:36.95\00:22:38.29
Just slice it up.
00:22:38.32\00:22:39.65
Well, what are we making?
00:22:39.69\00:22:41.02
We are making tofu...
00:22:41.06\00:22:42.39
Scrambled tofu.
00:22:42.42\00:22:43.76
Scrambled tofu with
00:22:43.79\00:22:45.13
that you just basically
put on a tofu lettuce wrap.
00:22:45.16\00:22:46.49
So we'll get that
going here on the fire.
00:22:46.53\00:22:51.33
All right, so we'll
take a nice little saucepan.
00:22:51.37\00:22:54.80
Go right ahead
00:22:54.84\00:22:56.30
and then I'll turn
this up a little bit.
00:22:56.34\00:22:58.37
All right, however,
00:23:02.24\00:23:03.58
we're gonna need a
little bit of what?
00:23:03.61\00:23:06.25
Olive oil.
Little bit of olive oil.
00:23:06.28\00:23:08.72
Let me step
around you here, chef.
00:23:08.75\00:23:10.95
So we got the
little olive oil going.
00:23:10.99\00:23:15.22
A lot of times you
can do it that way,
00:23:15.26\00:23:17.26
you can do it another way
00:23:17.29\00:23:18.63
by just sauteing
the onion and garlic,
00:23:18.66\00:23:20.66
I mean, you decide
what works best for you.
00:23:20.70\00:23:23.13
Let me get this
out of your way, chef.
00:23:23.16\00:23:25.13
All right, what
else are we gonna do?
00:23:25.17\00:23:27.57
So you gonna mix
that up a little bit.
00:23:27.60\00:23:30.54
Now you know
we're in a kitchen here
00:23:30.57\00:23:32.94
so we got to put a little what?
00:23:32.97\00:23:34.31
Salt.
00:23:34.34\00:23:35.68
Little salt, you see,
00:23:35.71\00:23:37.05
'cause tofu as we all know
is a sweet, salty, what is it?
00:23:37.08\00:23:40.52
It's really
actually neutral flavor.
00:23:40.55\00:23:42.88
It's a neutral
flavor, watch it now, neutral.
00:23:42.92\00:23:46.39
Me, I would have been like,
it's bland, they have no taste,
00:23:46.42\00:23:49.32
but it has a neutral flavor,
00:23:49.36\00:23:50.69
so I'm gonna go ahead
00:23:50.73\00:23:52.06
and I'm gonna add
some salt to that.
00:23:52.09\00:23:54.10
What else are we gonna do here?
00:23:54.13\00:23:55.46
So you're gonna get
00:23:55.50\00:23:56.83
that going a little bit I guess?
00:23:56.87\00:23:58.20
Yes.
00:23:58.23\00:23:59.57
Because sometimes if you don't,
00:23:59.60\00:24:01.14
it become very...
00:24:01.17\00:24:02.94
It's mushy or whatever
00:24:02.97\00:24:04.31
so you wanna cook
it just a little bit.
00:24:04.34\00:24:05.67
Yeah.
00:24:05.71\00:24:07.04
And then we're gonna add some
of our other ingredients here.
00:24:07.08\00:24:09.98
We have what?
00:24:10.01\00:24:11.35
We have the
chicken-like seasoning.
00:24:11.38\00:24:14.22
All right, so
chicken-like seasoning,
00:24:14.25\00:24:15.75
we can add that there.
00:24:15.78\00:24:17.32
I like to put my
seasonings directly there
00:24:17.35\00:24:20.42
on the tofu
00:24:20.46\00:24:22.32
because the tofu basically takes
00:24:22.36\00:24:24.36
whatever flavor you add to it.
00:24:24.39\00:24:26.16
Then we have the what?
00:24:26.19\00:24:27.53
This is the onion
powder, I believe.
00:24:27.56\00:24:29.63
Onion power or if
it's garlic powder,
00:24:29.66\00:24:32.53
use whatever you have.
00:24:32.57\00:24:34.64
And then here it
is. Just a, you know.
00:24:34.67\00:24:37.91
All right, so we get that going,
00:24:37.94\00:24:39.97
then we're gonna
add some of the...
00:24:40.01\00:24:42.28
Onions, chopped onions.
00:24:42.31\00:24:43.65
The chopped onions.
00:24:43.68\00:24:45.88
You did a good job
there chopping them up.
00:24:45.91\00:24:49.02
Okay.
00:24:49.05\00:24:50.55
And I really love tofu
lettuce wraps, I usually,
00:24:50.59\00:24:54.92
sometimes there's
this one restaurant
00:24:54.96\00:24:56.32
that I love to go to
00:24:56.36\00:24:57.69
and they make and
they're really good.
00:24:57.73\00:24:59.09
But I can only
imagine what they add to them,
00:24:59.13\00:25:02.20
so now we can do our own
little tofu lettuce wraps.
00:25:02.23\00:25:06.23
Man, do you smell that?
00:25:06.27\00:25:07.60
It smells really
good. It is smelling good.
00:25:07.64\00:25:09.24
This is
smelling good here today.
00:25:09.27\00:25:10.91
This is the
nutritional yeast flakes.
00:25:10.94\00:25:12.57
This is the
nutritional yeast flakes.
00:25:12.61\00:25:14.81
You hit that on the head there.
00:25:14.84\00:25:18.35
Oh, man, chef,
you just mixing in,
00:25:18.38\00:25:21.52
you might as well
flip the thing in the air
00:25:21.55\00:25:23.12
if you wanted to.
00:25:23.15\00:25:24.49
And then we're
gonna add some what?
00:25:24.52\00:25:26.29
This is
turmeric. This is turmeric.
00:25:26.32\00:25:27.99
Let me get something here.
00:25:28.02\00:25:29.66
We make sure, what is this,
why we're gonna turmeric, bro?
00:25:29.69\00:25:33.36
Little color?
00:25:33.40\00:25:34.73
Yeah, little bit of
a color to deal with.
00:25:34.76\00:25:36.10
Little color also they
say that turmeric is very good
00:25:36.13\00:25:39.20
for to fight
against inflammation,
00:25:39.23\00:25:41.60
you know,
sometimes ladies even men
00:25:41.64\00:25:44.61
that are dealing with tumors,
this and different growth.
00:25:44.64\00:25:48.14
Turmeric helps out
with that quite a bit so.
00:25:48.18\00:25:52.68
And then you cannot forget what?
00:25:52.71\00:25:56.05
This is the cilantro.
00:25:56.08\00:25:57.42
Cilantro, why you're
adding some cilantro there?
00:25:57.45\00:26:00.16
Is this a Mexican
dish or something?
00:26:00.19\00:26:01.52
No, it isn't.
00:26:01.56\00:26:02.89
It just gives you a
little bit of flavor.
00:26:02.92\00:26:04.26
Just a little flavor.
00:26:04.29\00:26:05.96
Man, and it
also, what, looks good.
00:26:05.99\00:26:08.46
Yes. So we have
all of that there.
00:26:08.50\00:26:12.20
Wow!
00:26:12.23\00:26:14.20
Is this,
00:26:14.24\00:26:15.57
is this one of your
favorite recipes or what?
00:26:15.60\00:26:17.91
No, I can't say it is.
00:26:17.94\00:26:19.27
Oh, why you gotta
be like that, man?
00:26:19.31\00:26:22.38
I thought he was gonna say,
this is the best, Uncle Nyse.
00:26:22.41\00:26:25.38
But I guess not, so
you have that going.
00:26:25.41\00:26:29.55
How long, does it have
to get brown or anything?
00:26:29.58\00:26:31.49
Yeah, a little bit.
00:26:31.52\00:26:32.85
Maybe a little bit,
00:26:32.89\00:26:34.22
little brown I want
to see a little bit,
00:26:34.26\00:26:35.59
make sure you
know it's cooked fully.
00:26:35.62\00:26:37.89
All right, very good.
00:26:37.93\00:26:39.26
And then even though
00:26:39.29\00:26:40.63
this per se wasn't
on the ingredients,
00:26:40.66\00:26:43.70
ingredients but we told you
00:26:43.73\00:26:45.07
we were gonna make
some lettuce, right?
00:26:45.10\00:26:46.43
So here it is, we're
just gonna take some,
00:26:46.47\00:26:48.44
what, some
lettuce as you see here.
00:26:48.47\00:26:52.37
Some lettuce leaves
00:26:52.41\00:26:54.44
and now we're
gonna lay them out there
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.34
and let me see
00:26:56.38\00:26:57.71
if I can grab
maybe a little spoon.
00:26:57.75\00:27:01.05
All right, so
that looks pretty good.
00:27:01.08\00:27:03.32
Let's turn off the
fire, if you don't mind.
00:27:03.35\00:27:07.59
We can't waste nothing, brother,
00:27:07.62\00:27:09.02
we're gonna get
every little drop.
00:27:09.06\00:27:11.09
We'll take that here
and you ready for this?
00:27:11.13\00:27:13.93
This is where it
becomes the tofu lettuce wrap,
00:27:13.96\00:27:16.60
can I do it?
00:27:16.63\00:27:17.97
Yeah. All, right so, bam!
00:27:18.00\00:27:20.50
You put that on there like this
00:27:20.54\00:27:22.40
and you have one
that's already made here.
00:27:22.44\00:27:25.87
If you can grab that for us
and show us before we wrap up
00:27:25.91\00:27:29.01
because I'm gonna have
me some tofu lettuce wraps.
00:27:29.04\00:27:31.65
You lined it up nicely,
you can allow it to cool.
00:27:31.68\00:27:34.58
I put it on here hot,
00:27:34.62\00:27:35.95
you can allow it
to cool a little bit
00:27:35.98\00:27:37.35
or else your
lettuce is gonna get
00:27:37.39\00:27:39.05
real tight or whatever.
00:27:39.09\00:27:40.42
And here is our
finished tofu lettuce wraps
00:27:40.46\00:27:47.20
made from scratch.
00:27:47.23\00:27:49.60
Like, literally, we
made this from scratch.
00:27:49.63\00:27:52.30
Now, Maquel, I
couldn't do it without you.
00:27:52.33\00:27:54.20
Thank you so much
for coming through.
00:27:54.24\00:27:55.90
Ouch! Don't hurt me now.
00:27:55.94\00:27:57.44
God bless and enjoy
your tofu lettuce wraps.
