In this new season of UnchainedTV's award-winning, plant-based, cooking series, New Day New Chef, hosts Jamie Logan and Jane Velez-Mitchell hang with Chef to the Stars Chris Tucker. He reveals the secret to making crispy, crunchy TVP tacos, which is basically a healthy version of a fast food taco. You can purchase TVP by the bushel and turn it into many, many marvelous, low cost, easy-to-make meals. Texturized Vegetable Protein can adapt to the flavors you add and is one of the most versatile, clean proteins on the planet. So, watch, try it at home, save money and chow down. For his second act, Chef Tucker reveals the neat tricks that can turn a slab of firm tofu into a deliciously eggy "egg" salad, but without any cholesterol. Hint. It involves a cheese grater. Here's the recipe, which you can print out: https://unchainedtv.com/2024/07/01/tofu-egg-salad/
