Marinated Tofu

This is some useful tofu: scoop it over a salad, toss with veggies for a stir-fry (shown below with brown rice and peas), or serve alone as a side dish.
It tastes like something from a particularly awesome and fresh Chinese restaurant. Adapted from the 1987 version of New Recipes from the Moosewood Restaurant by the Moosewood Collective.
