Notes
Helpful tips
- Make it gluten-free – Use a certified gluten-free miso.
- Use a shallow, wide container for marinating – This ensures that all tofu cubes are sitting in the marinade, allowing maximal flavor absorption. You can transfer them to a glass jar after a day for easy storage.
- Marinate tofu overnight if you can – For the best flavor, it is recommended to marinate tofu cubes for at least 8 hours. The longer it sits, the more briny and savory it is.
