Trader Joe's

I have the same issue with most of the ready-to-eat baked #tofu products I’ve tried, and this one was no exception: I was satisfied with its hearty, firm texture but felt massively let down by the bland, watery marinade and how poorly it penetrated into the dense tofu. Although the nutrition label suggests a not-insubstantial amount of sodium in each piece, it sure didn’t taste that way, and I engaged in a lot of creative marinade-mixing to come up with something flavorful enough to enjoy and serve with pride. The problem wasn’t the tofu specifically — I can imagine a range of meals with this as my basic starting point — it’s that when the label advertises teriyaki, I expect teriyaki. Not terrible for $3.99, but I’ll stick with Trader Joe’s unflavored #soy products going forward.

beckyyy I feel the same way! The flavor never really penetrates as I hoped it would with any pre-marinated packs. I do buy the sriracha one often though as it is such a great size and texture for making vegan crab sushi rolls or bowls but it probably would be more cost effective to buy the large extra firm! 2 likesReply
berryveganplanet I agree with you both! Only buy when I’m in a pinch and need for a quick meal!2 likesReply
