There are other tofu marinades besides Asian? Oh yes! This Sweet and Sour Marinated Tofu recipe soaks tofu in a delicious mustard and maple syrup marinade. I love the marriage of flavors in this sauce-sweet, sour, salty, and spicy.
I highly recommend trying this marinade for baked tofu; the texture of the final product is incredible. Caramelized on the outside but wet and sticky on the inside, it's an absolute treat!
