marinated tofu
Flavored bean cake
Marinated tofu is tofu that has been soaked in a seasoned liquid—typically soy sauce, vinegar, oil, garlic, or spices—to infuse flavor before cooking.
Because tofu is bland and porous, marinating transforms it: The marinated tofu picked up all the ginger and sesame.
It's a staple technique in vegetarian and Asian cooking.
