I Tried To Make Vegan Fried Calamari Out Of Coconut

oh my god, there is no way we are making squid out of

coconut

s today, honestly we could

make

a video on how to open a

coconut

, we will give you that and more, if you were a kid, don't do this, don't do it. just get an adult to help you please honestly even if you are an adult find another adult to help you don't mind me if you cut your finger. Coconuts are great, coconuts are actually a very good source of fiber. What you are looking for is to get the meat out of the inside of this coconut because it has a nice squid-like texture.

Without further ado, let's open up this bad boy. You break it into a coconut. You will need a very sharp knife and a mallet. This is a

vegan

program I'm just saying the first thing we're going to do is shave this top with our very sharp knife, a very, very sharp knife, so we want to shave it until you see the little brown head underneath a little bit. fryer cut this is the name of the dangerous part this is a uniform fabric this is the pound we want you I'm going to

make

Matt weird today oh it's just me warming you up it just gets more and more dangerous from here let's take this but this knife and you are going to hold this and your safety grip, which is like holding a pencil, someone is going to yell at me for this, I know, I know, a firm grip, a firm grip is a must, you also need to have passion behind you. dolls when you do this because you can't think twice there's no turning back and concentrate okay here we go okay, let's do this a lot ah that's the sound we like here my points for being chosen for the roster of being on an island desert just shot up inside the coconuts there is this delicious liquid we call coconut water you probably buy some horrible version of this in the supermarket there is nothing better than coconut water or fresh coconut ah the sound of life look at this delicious beauty this se go quite ripe you want to keep ripe coconuts in life you also know that ripe coconuts are the ones I'll back you up like ah I want to drink it from this it's worth it delicious let's empty our coconut water that's good guys it's full of electrolytes we have a wet wipe, put it here, cutting board on top, that risky business is happening, we're going to go down on a final action here, one last drop like that. put your other fabric on top of this bad boy, you can take your mallet, this is where the doll comes in, if your doll becomes hesitant zigzagging all over the place, you're not going to have a consistent straight cut, it's going to go all over the place you'll be able to remove the meat as well as you would otherwise.

Hell yeah, damn it's okay. Oh, could you look at that now? You'll see that it's a dog thing before you get to these two little ones. our friends we are going to mix our marinade for the marinade we will use caper juice olive oil lemon juice lemon zest and my favorite thing in the world stir garlic so to clean the meat we are going to take a spoon now this is the opposite this is a comedown from the rush you just had beating this thing into oblivion now let's be tender and gentle what you want to do is try, if you can, to get the meat out in one go So this is what you want.

I did a good job. Basically I want a big slab like this because then we're going to cut it into strips of squid, we're going to remove some of the little pieces of the shell that stick to the meat, so I'm going to cut them into half inch strips and then I'm going to drop them right into my marinade. It looks like a squid when I first heard of it. I thought what, but now I see it. Good. Put them all there. I'll cover. Lift this up and I'm going to refrigerate it and let it marinate for about two to four hours.

I know it's a long time to start reading that book you have on your nightstand and you're pretending you're going to end with no, you're not going to take this opportunity to do that and I'll be back in two to four hours, bye, oh, okay, that's going to be fine, so we have our little squid strips from the refrigerator ready to go and then here we have our mixture, we're going to have some non-dairy milk. I'm using unsweetened almond milk and then a little bit of apple cider vinegar, so here we have our dry mix and we're going to add a little bit of all-purpose flour, a little bit of semolina flour and a little bit of salt, let's go To work until the end, we are going to take out our marinated squid strips, we are going to put them in our liquid mixture and we are going to let all the excess drain off and then you throw it into the dry myth.

I use my hands, it's the easiest way to cover it evenly. This way you can remove all the extra stuff so that there are no light bits of flour when you do it. When frying it, I'm going to put the dry batter in with one hand after I've been doing it for a while, you know, it's not macro at all. Wow, these get crispy pretty quickly. I don't like that at all. It's not like that at all, but this is a beautiful strip. Yes, that's how I've decided. I am comfortable operating with hot oil. I don't like.

Oh, I thought. Alright. Check these out, they look amazing. I feel like if I were to put them in front of someone, they wouldn't know the difference. I don't think they think there's anything suspicious, but we have to see what they taste like, so I'll go ahead and do that. right now I don't know about coconut like squid, I'm not going to lie, but my goodness how fresh it is, I feel like I'm floating in the ocean right now, great, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, just when I think it is not possible to improve.

I just do it. I would do it again and again. This is a humble hour with Merlin. I'm very excited about this, I feel very proud. I'm going to go ahead and bring my friends. make them try this if we have nothing to worry about I feel like they're going to love this onion Goodman ah these are fries no they're not no 15 Coco is working yes squid art mentally calm yes oh yay oh my god that makes I'm so happy, it's so strange, the texture is so perfect, well, let me ask you, do you like it?

I know what it's made of. You have to get some kind of toasting paper. I guess onion without all, no, no. It's not an onion, oh, is this a mushroom? Noby, oh I don't know this, you make coconut, how do you know I love coconut meat? That's why mmm, are you kidding me, oh my God, no, you're in a restaurant, here, wow sir, mmm, oh, I'll take him out after his shifts because now he'd say no to women, even if he waits, Sir. Kaul Mario says uh nine solid nine nine nine yeah, I would say seven.

I give it to you in total. I'm going to get rid of ten seven point five. I do. I really loved it. I am very satisfied with your job well done. You have cut. Good, excellent
