SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was very good. I minced 3 green onions and rolled the pasty tofu around in that and toasted sesame seeds before baking.
Following advice from above I froze my tofu ahead of time and let it marinate for a few hours before baking. The flavor really penetrated the tofu.
This is really good! The only suggestions I would make is to use tofu that has been frozen/thawed for a more "meaty" texture and to let the tofu marinade for a while so it can really absorb the flavors. It does come out a bit salty, but in a good way.
This is pretty good. I used rice wine vinegar instead of mirin, added a pinch of sugar, and didn't measure. I used a big block of tofu, so my marinade turned out a bit salty. I baked at about 425.
Yum! Perfect with rice, made this last night and the family couldn't get enough! Delish!
