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.

When you freeze tofu do you do you press it prior? Or do you press it after it thaws? Or both? What's the best meathod?

@jzzvid @thegiddystitcher press it first. Thaw it and give it another. This make it real dense, making it a fun texture

I asked the expert and he says both.
