We must be vastly different people, because I once trashed half kilo worth of thawed tofu. It was inedible for me, like this rubbery sponge, yuk.
As far as marinating tofu goes I either buy smoked stuff and only add soy sauce or, alternatively, I buy pre-marinated, which comes with soy sauce and onion powder (and garlic powder and “herbs and spices”, whatever that means exactly) and this is how I like it the most.
