How To Marinate Tofu (Ultimate Flavor Guide!)

Step 1

Press (optional): To remove the excess water from your tofu, you can press it for 10 to 30 minutes before using. Either use a tofu press, or simply set the tofu on a tilted cutting board with a heavy pan on top to press out moisture.

Step 2

Cut: Cut tofu into your desired shape (cubes or slabs are common!)

Step 3

Mix: Choose your desired flavor and stir together all ingredients.

Step 4

Assemble: Add tofu to a bowl or plastic bag, along with the marinade. Allow tofu to marinate anywhere from 1 to 24 hours.

Step 5

Cook: Fish the pieces of tofu from the marinade and cook as desired (baked, air fried, or sauteed all work well with marinated tofu!)
