My favourite marinade for tofu and tempeh so far is 2 parts olive oil, 1 part tamari, and 1 part sesame oil. Garlic can be added too, or any other savoury you can think of.

I’m on my 2nd day of watching tofu recipes - you win. Pressing my tofu to cook later today.

This recipe is ridiculous! Both in ease of prep and deliciousness! I was snacking on them as soon as they came out of the oven!

[raeannemery]

For my baked tofu I let it set for several hours in a soy sauce based marinade in the fridge, then bake it.

Just used this technique to bake one package of firm tofu. The tofu was marinated overnight. It was Yummy!😋 My husband and I ate it all. We are not vegan but this recipe is making us consider it! Thanks for sharing the Delicious! 🙏🏽

I use a silicone mat which protects my baking pan and also is easier to remove the tofu-- I love your videos Chad. Make more!

I never got to use it in a recipe. It was so delicious that I kept eating a slice every time I went into the fridge. It’s REALLY delicious! I added garlic powder, onion powder and maple syrup to the mix. SOoooo good! THANK YOU!!

[INKOSK]

This is a wonderful way to do tofu! I will be making it soon! Thanks! 💜🙏🏼💜

[lynleman]

I’ve been making this for decades! So simple and is a staple in my kitchen. I leave out the olive oil and add a sprinkle of onion powder then bake on parchment paper. Soooo good 👍

[suzannefernandez]

I can go 100 different flavors with this base. Thank you!

[maryconner]

Thanks. New to tofu. I'm making this.

[nrheico]

I just used this technique with the marinade from your book recipe for plant bacon. Freaking delicious and addictive even without any oil.

[maryanne]

I had 2 x 350 tofu in the fridge - used soya sauce instead of the tamarind and added some lemon juice (because I was told years ago that it helped absorb protein) to your recipe and I love it! I keep snaking on it! I just eat it as is….I need to watch that!
Thank you so much for this base tofu recipe!

[CelesteKristan]

This will improve my current baked tofu so much, I never get it crispy enough - thanks!

[deborahneumann]

I just made these yesterday and they are scrumptious! Thank you! :)

[Galadrielgleans]

Also add garlic powder, smoked paprika and maple syrup

[NoahBailie]

Dang, I just tried this, but I used vegetable oil and soy sauce and hoisin sauce and salt for the marinade and it tastes pretty good! Thanks for the recipe

[thomashabetz]

That's awesome! I'm always looking for different ways to prepare tofu and you mentioned sandwiches! I'm going to try this and make a sandwich with it.

[jessicaveganjessica]

Hey! Freeze the tofu first (in the package), then thaw it in the fridge, then do this recipe--or anything else, trust me!! 20 years vegan and never did that, but then learned and I've been doing that ever since, with every pack of tofu, no matter what I do with it. ❤️🙏 Please try it.

[bvmkidt]

So simples! Love it! A family member who’s not veg or vegan (he’s cut down though most animal products yay!) is asking about how to make tofu. So I’ll give him this recipe. Also I’ll try this myself 🤤… thanks!
