Yesterday, I decided to cook tofu. Tofu is not something that I have a ton of experience cooking. I have thrown it into pasta and stir-fry many times, however I have not really focused on adding flavour to the tofu itself. I have seen my sister make it in many (delicious) ways and it always seems like a long process that I am just not patient enough to commit to. Due to this, I decided to try to find a simple enough method that I can make regularly.
I just looked up “simple tofu recipe”, and this marinated tofu recipe was one of the first things that popped up. I had a look and realized that, besides the tofu, I already had all of the ingredients! Immediately I was sold!
This recipe involved a lot of waiting (pressing the tofu + letting it soak), but I didn’t mind this too much because it gave me time to do homework and fold my laundry. I found that coming back and completing each step served as a good way to take breaks. While it technically took a long time to make – I spent most of my time doing other things.
Overall, I found the whole process very smooth! Each step was simple, and I love the way it turned out!
My Personal Ratings:
The Process – 8/10
I actually enjoyed making this! I honestly didn’t think that I would; I expected it to be too long and too boring to make. I really thought that I would make it just this once and then maybe again in months from now. However, I was completely wrong! This was relaxing and easy! I found it totally worth all of the time I spent waiting. I would recommend this as an easy way to make tofu and I will be making it again soon!
The Taste – 7.5/10
I love the flavour of this! Letting it soak in the marinade before cooking it really made a difference.
