People always complain about the texture, but what if I told you that’s something you could change? It’s all about your preparation.

The prep work may sound extra, but as long as you do it the day before, you’re golden.
Now, it’s time to take on the best part: flavor town. The amount of different marinades you can use is endless. Here’s an article with a few different, delicious flavors to try. Guy Fieri has nothing on you.
Tofu makes cooking effortless. Just remember to plan ahead; it’s crucial for your tastebuds. Have a different way to make Tofu or other easy recipes? Let us know on our social media @auburncampusrec. Happy cooking!
Be well, Auburn.
