Saw some packaged tofu that was already pressed and marinated, and was pretty good!

I've always wanted to have good tofu at home, but I could never get it as good as like a restaurant, (maybe I should have invested in a tofu press by now). What do you like on your tofu, any recommended marinades?

    How do you store the extra properly? Usually just cook for myself so I often feel like a whole block is a lot to go thru quickly.

      I really like tofu so I'll usually eat a whole block if it's just me lol. It's like 45 g of protein for only 450 calories and I probably need it.

      But when I get a super big slab and want to save some of it (raw) I put it in a tupperware and usually cook with it the next day. If it's going to be longer I will put brine or water in the Tupperware. Raw tofu gets gross when it dries out, basically.

          Oh yes, many tofu dishes are raw or lightly steamed, particularly those with silken tofu. Tofu is curds of soy milk so it's already been cooked once.
