Tofu, made from soy, is a healthy source of plant protein and is often used as a great alternative to meat. It is especially handy for vegans and vegetarians, as it provides essential amino acids. It is important to marinate the tofu before using it, as it will absorb the flavours and become much tastier. The marinade, made from soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, garlic powder and onion powder, will give the tofu an exceptional aroma and flavour.
