Tips and ideas:
- Usually soak tofu or vegis in Marinade for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Or even overnight.
- It depends on how much flavor you want it to pick up,
- and how dense the food is.
- Less time is needed for a pressed tofu than tofu right out of the package.
- Mushrooms soak up flavor fast.
- Baking usually takes around 20 minutes on both sides, at 350
- or for grilling/broiling at a high heat usually around 5 minutes /side
- Reduce / thicken the marinade and use it as a sauce on the side
