HUNGRY? This makes FAST 

I don't know if you like egg salad, but I made up a recipe. I use a quarter of a block of extra firm tofu, 1/2 cold baked potato, peeled, I mash those together, I add chopped red onion, and celery. I season with garlic powder, turmeric, and some kala namak. Then I add vegan mayo. mix it all up, it's ready to put on a wrap or toasted bread, with romaine lettuce. It's really good.

I am liking Derek's "Imma go be a wizard now" phase.

Always nice to know what chefs make for themselves, I'm usually putting a lot of effort into food for my friends and family and find when I cook for myself I put barely any in. This seems like the perfect result for the time and effort put in, can't wait to try it soon. :)

I didn't feel hungry at all until I watched this!! You and Frankie make the perfect team!

I just love watching you and Frankie! Your videos have everything- kind and delicious food, kitchen tips, satisfying cooking sounds, mesmerizing knife skills, and an amazing dog companion as the chef’s kiss to the whole operation.

Hahaha Frankie spitting out the lettuce 😅 my dog does the same, it's like she takes it to be polite then spits it out the side of her mouth 😂

As someone who knows what it’s like to film and edit solo, you not only do such a great job at sharing your cuisine ideas, your craft and such, you do an amazing job of filming and editing it, solo. Thank you! We all appreciate you! 💜

i LOVE to see more super quick recipes, for us struggling folk! I´m gonna make that BBQ seasoning and try this.

I could sit and watch you cook all day! Watching you chop veggies is therapeutic. Thank you for another great meal!

Derek, if no one told you today, you look great. Love the hair.

I have not known anyone that eats tofu like you do. I will have to give it another chance with your teaching ….. You did inspire me to clean up my cast iron … I had put it away a long time ago … but kept my 3 favorite pieces from my grandmother’s kitchen. Appreciate the fun with Frankie … fur companions have a way of holding your heart and bring a lot love to your life. Thanks for sharing generously on your you tube channel.

Appreciate your dedication to showing us how to when you’re starving! Looks great!

I’m fasting- and drooling; but that looks heavenly! Love the red onion combo.

Quick and easy tofu sandwiches are one of the greatest things! (And a good reason to watch the flavor booster video again.)

Oh my! I’m droooooling! LOVE the food inspiration and the new look!

Well done . Your recipes are always simple and very tasty 😊

Keep going! You are an inspiration to not only vegans but humans who are trying to be kind and loving in everything we do :-) Hugs to you.

Looks yummy 👍🏻 Lost my dog two months ago after 12 years. Lovely to see Miss America ❤

Yesss sirrr - quick and looks good!

Easy peasy, and delicious! Thanks for posting 🙂

Just found your channel and I'm loving all of the content! Thank you for infusing compassion and meaning into the nourishment you prepare for yourself and Frankie. I'm currently on a juice cleanse and missing vegan meals, So your content is giving me so many ideas that I can incorporate back into my diet Once my cleanse is over. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the Recipe! Will be making this

Your meals just always look amazing! And love your filming style.

I just love your videos, the best happy therapy in the world. Love you both ❤

Quick and tasty. Tofu is so versatile.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful food world and Miss Frankie! Looks so delicious. My dog loves all veggies especially lettuce! You do such an incredible job! Now I'm hungry. And your old man slippers had just more charm not that you need it! 💚

That looks so great! Thank you for the excellent videos and the wonderful meals that you share. And the recipes. How we can eat healthy and fast. eating healthy is easy just got to do it. And look at all that protein in the tofu! Excellent!

Man, you are the ultimate vegan Wizard! I could watch you cook all day. I get so hungry seeing your delightful-looking food! I'll try this recipe for sure. Love to gorgeous Frankie.

Absolutely love the serene atmosphere in your kitchen. The tofu looks delicious! And that sensational lettuce rip moment 😄 Thank you for sharing the recipe, I'll definitely try it. Big hug to you and Miss America ❤

Everything you make looks beautiful!!!

Looks so delicious! I’m hungry, now~ thanks so much for your great cooking🌟🧡🌟🧡 thanks Derek 🥑🍒🍆, very dapper . My brother looked the same .. lol.

My tofu sammies have reached stratospheric levels of yum! Your breakfast one, was my first inspiration! Thanks! 😋

Found your channel yesterday, & quickly subscribed. I'm enjoying your videos. Frankie is adorbs. Recently lost my Terrie 🐶, so visually loving on Frankie. 💖

Wow! Just made this and it is incredible, so simple but so much flavor! Super quick and my kids love it too. Thank you for the continued inspiration. Loving all the new content.

you are so inspiring, always maintaining a clean cutting board, giving love to your pup, no one else on YT can compare...

every video, long or short is so great and enjoyable. thank you thank you::

Nice one Derek , I like that you always take time to include and spoil Frankie . Cheers

As always Derek good shit! Just did the same today, freaking hungry and did two of them. First one for Lunch nice an hot and the second i just finished. You are such a good inspiration! Looking forward for the monastery recipes! Thank you so much for all the videos. Cheers to you and Frankie.

That looks Amazing!!

That looks so good. I'm gonna try it next but with your vegan BBQ sauce.

Love what you do Derek. Keep doing you.

Derek - your work is awesome, your presentation style is calming and instructing,,, Just great.

Looks delicious!

Yummy, I love this! Thank you for sharing something so quick and easy. My struggle is always trying to find time and stuff my kids will like, lol.

I love watching your videos! I am eating raw vegan right now in my life but I get inspired by your recepies. You are so amazing!

That is just what I needed for making a quick, easy meal. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏💕 Hugs to Frankie 💜🐾💜

It’s very satisfying watching you wipe and clean as you go. Also I love tofu sandwiches so much. It’s perfect! And will try mine with pan fried tomatoes next time.

All your dishes are so delicious 😋 thank you.

OMG! I made this last night. I am not a huge fan of tofu on sandwiches, but I made it exactly as written for my husband and it was amazing. For me, I added some smashed avocado and cilantro to the recipe, and it was perhaps the best sandwich I’ve ever ever had! The onions and jalapeños and barbecue sauce just made this meal. Amazing! I just discovered your channel with this video and watch several since then. I like seeing some of your techniques as much as the recipe themselves. It’s nice to see how a professional does things and your little tips and tweaks that really help save time. For example, like why do I not toast my buns? Lol that simple thing elevated the sandwich so much Thank you.

Looks absolutely amazing

Man you make me want to make videos like this. Love it.

I still love seeing your beautiful spirit ❤

Frankie is adorbs. Thanks for sharing your culinary ideas too.

I always wondered how to eat tofu without breading it and all that. This looks wonderful and I need to try this! Thank you for this! Hello to Frankie!!!!

I made this for my family and it was so good! Restaurant quality combination of flavors, yet pretty straight forward to make. I was out of tofu and subbed soy curls that I soaked in Better Than Bouillon Italian Herb Broth and then tossed in your BBQ Beast recipe and drizzled with BBQ sauce. Other than adding dill pickles and pickled jalapenos, the rest of the recipe was unchanged. Filling, delicious, quick. Didnt feel heavy after eating. Perfect. Thank you to you and Frankie!

Will be making this soon.

Soooo, your version of fast is still more effort than us lazy people who consider fast as heating up left overs! 😊 you are very inspiring and I hope to have the connection and love for food that you do one day...💜🐶💜

Derek, you're my hero. Thanks for this vid

Diggin the recipe. Lovin the slippers as you always knock it out the ballpark. ❤️ 🥘 🥪

Thanks for sharing real life cooking with us ❤🥰❤️

Thank you for sharing your recipes and its good to see America's sweetheart every video! (Frankie ofc).

Derek, I've made this sandwich 3 times since you posted it and I love it for a really quick meal... But it's also so so tasty! I've been calling it the Sarno Sandwich and it just keeps getting better every time I make it!

Frankie loves the tofu!❤. The sandwich looks bomb! I made a breakfast sandwich today, with slabs of tofu, nooch mixture, and some roasted potatoes, onions and peppers..sooo good and fast….I need to get some Baby Rays BBQ sauce and make your sandwich, though. Thanks for the inspo, Derek!

That looks SO GOOD!!

I'm new to your channel, but I've been watching nonstop this week! I just want to say, thank you for sharing a little slice of your life, and communicating with love through the food you make and share with us! I'm more of a flexitarian and my girlfriend is vegetarian. It's shocking how many vegetarian recipes are so boring! Veggies can be droolworthy!

Yep! Im making that!😊

Oh my!! Looks amazing.

Yum 😋 will defo be making this 👍

Good looking sandwich, Derek! Thanks.

The foods you make is amazing!

Fast & fabulous.🔥Another winner!💯

Oh I'm making this one! Thanks Derek

just made this for lunch and it was exceptional!

Looks delicious! 💚 I also did a quick tofu with roasted red peppers 😋 I’m definitely going to try this one! 😉

Delicious recipe 😋

Thanks for a recipe without microwave, grill etc. I don’t have any of these. Will definitely try this recipe….it’s very easy and simple!!

Your sandwiches 🥳 OMG..They are bonkers they look so good. I cook for alot of non vegetarians/ vegans.So I love these ideas the nutritional yeast bbq flavor jar! mind blown so smart.

I adore you 🥰 I actually make the same when I am hungry. If I don't have any tofu, I will make it with mushrooms. You inspired me to make my own nutritional beast seasonings, in larger batches! And I wanna tank you for that 😁 I bought a crockpot yesterday, and ordered a tofu press. Gonna make som delicious vegan yoghurt and experiment with tofu making!

I'm doing some similar Sammy today only instead of lettuce using bread&butter sweet pickles, slab of portobello mushroom and thin sliced tofu strips. THANK YOU DEREK!!

Just made this for dinner for my wife and myself. You came through again brother 🙌🏾. I gotta make the nooch boosts but combining it with my usual seasonings made it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hi Derek, Aww thanks i love fried food but totally agree having to open the door or windows cooking onions. love it.🧅🤩

looks so good omg never thought of making a tofu burger

LOVE these videos !! thx for sharing :) - I've become a HUGE tofu fan. It’s such a perfect ingredient, especially when I'm on a cut & watching my calories. 👏👏✌🖤

Finally! Something at my cooking skill level🍻🍻🍻I will be making this this weekend 🙌

Looks incredible ❤

I saw the video yesterday and i had to try it. I'm not vegan, but i want to eat less meat and I'm eating this burger right now, and its just amazing! Flavourfull, delicious and i dont miss anything. Even my daughter loved it (without the onions 😅). Thank u so much for the inspiration. Greetings and all the best to Frankie and you from austria.

Great inspiration, will try this weekend. Btw. the beard makes you look very… sophisticated! 🎉😂

Awesome sandwich.. I’ve been making mine just like this minus the bbq beast. Gonna try and make my own seasoning. Thanks for sharing

Wow, delicious-looking burger - I need to start making and using nutritional yeast! Thank you ;)

That's a super good, quick meal for sure. Ms Frankie watching you devour that tofu sandwich 😯😂 🌱😋

What a wholesome person!!

Looks delicious! So simple and quick, but you still make it look gourmet! 🙂

I basically make the exact same sandwich but I'll press into the tofu salt, pepper and nooch. Gives it a great little crust and it's so tasty!

Aaaand… we’re making this tomorrow! I really enjoyed the short format. A quick idea from a brilliant mind is always welcome!

My mouths watering. Looks amazing. I love your chickpea salad sandwich recipe. Any suggestions for bumping up the protein in the chickpea salad sandwich other than adding tofu?

Mmmmm. Will make these for a packed lunch this week 😊

So satisfying ❤

Love it! I've never tried seasoning the tofu after cooking (other than minor sprinkles), just marinating it before. Definitely have to try this!

pick it! i love watching your fast and easy meal ideas!

Feel like there’s a story to the “clickety clack” of the tongs.
