Tips
- If you cannot find super firm tofu, use extra firm and press it for at least 30 minutes.
- Vegan mayo acts as an emulsifier in the marinade, but neutral oil can be used instead.
- You can add a dry rub in addition to or instead of the marinade; if using a rub, coat the tofu in oil first.
- The filets can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- You can dredge the tofu in cornstarch and shallow fry it for a crispy skin-like texture.
- Any leftover acid like lemon juice can be substituted for the vinegar.
