Great options include bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, or bok choy, as they complement the flavors of the soy sauce and add a nice crunch.
Can I use other types of tofu for this recipe?
Yes, you can use firm or extra-firm tofu for a better texture, but silken tofu may not hold up well during cooking.
How long should I marinate the tofu for the best flavor?
For optimal flavor, marinate the tofu for at least 24 hours, but even a few hours can enhance the taste significantly.
Is this marinated tofu recipe suitable for meal prep?
Absolutely! The marinated tofu can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, making it a great option for meal prep and quick meals throughout the week.
