Made these last night, and find myself craving them this morning! Best marinated tofu recipe I’ve EVER tried!
I adore simple marinated tofu and this one looks perfect. Thanks!
Super yummy! My family enjoyed it so much! thank you!
Bless your heart for posting your marinades! This makes it all SO much easier!
This had great flavor, but way too salty for me. I think using lite soy sauce would help that.
So good! New to eating tofu, we really enjoyed it! Very flavourful.
