Tofu is a weird one, I hate soft/silken tofu, but the extra firm stuff is ok if you marinade it well. I've left my tofu in a plastic jar in the fridge overnight with soy sauce and herbs, and use it in stirfrys the next day. Think silken only works if you add sugar and berries and use a blender to make a smoothie.
There is a recipe for baked tofu on fatfreevegan (under meat substitutes) which I'm gonna try this weekend
As a poor student I also found dried soya chunks a bargain source of protein, you have to soak them in water as it says on the packet then I used to marinade them in herbs and use them in tomatobased pasta sauces. Also beans are a cheap if you're looking for protein, cheaper to buy dry, but I buy canned because I don't like soaking and boiling for ages.
All the best in your tofu quest Gaia! P.S. Loving Junebugs marinade, will try, thank you!!
