Just roast or fry it. It might be ok raw too, add some scallions and just eat it.
I’d suggest not buying marinated tofu. It takes just a few minutes of labor to prep it yourself, and then you know that it was pressed first and how long and with what ingredients it was marinated.
thanks, but im still a little confused about marinading tofu, every time i have cooked it my goal has been to get as much water out as i can and to make it dryer and chewer by stuff like freezing and pressing. can i marinade tofu without making it more wet, or is just a price people pay for more flavor?
It’s just to add flavor. I rarely marinate. My usual method is: Press the water out. Toss in oil salt pepper and sesame seeds. Roast at 425 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
