When marinating tofu, remember that the marinade will only penetrate about 2 mm into the tofu. So you dont want to cut the tofu too big, otherwise there will be too much unflavoured tofu vs. flavoured tofu, and peopes misconceptions about it will be reinforced. Tofu has a bad reputation because many people eat it plain, expecting it to taste good that way. But you wouldnt hand someone an onion and expect them to enjoy ityou have to do something to it, or use it as just one ingredient of many. Think of tofu in the same way.
