Review of Organic Baked Tofu - Teriyaki - Trader Joe's by kyu
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.
