Does anyone have any favorite tofu marinades they’d like to share? I just discovered freezing tofu as a method of getting the water out of it, and it’s the first tofu I’ve actually enjoyed the texture of . It could use a little flavor though!
Freezing tofu is absolutely a gamechanger. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life!
We love doing the hawaiian garlic sauce from this recipe https://www.rabbitandwolves.com/crispy-hawaiian-garlic-tofu-vegan, and my husband (he’s the cook in this house, I am clueless) also does a great marinade that’s basically soy sauce, maple syrup and rice wine vinegar although what it’s called and what amounts everything is in I could not tell you. Nommy though.
We must be vastly different people, because I once trashed half kilo worth of thawed tofu. It was inedible for me, like this rubbery sponge, yuk.
As far as marinating tofu goes I either buy smoked stuff and only add soy sauce or, alternatively, I buy pre-marinated, which comes with soy sauce and onion powder (and garlic powder and “herbs and spices”, whatever that means exactly) and this is how I like it the most.
