    thanks, but im still a little confused about marinading tofu, every time i have cooked it my goal has been to get as much water out as i can and to make it dryer and chewer by stuff like freezing and pressing. can i marinade tofu without making it more wet, or is just a price people pay for more flavor?

      It’s just to add flavor. I rarely marinate. My usual method is: Press the water out. Toss in oil salt pepper and sesame seeds. Roast at 425 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
