This tofu marinade made with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili paste does double duty as a marinade and a sauce. But, allowing it to sit overnight is best and will give you maximum flavor. Mix the marinade ingredients in a baking dish or a mixing bowl (water, tamari or soy sauce, vinegar, syrup, garlic powder and cayenne powder) until well combined. If you let it marinate longer, it will have a more intense flavor.
Instructions to make Marinated Tofu:
- Mix Cold Water and Salt to make salty water. The saltiness is up to your preference.
