when i talk about marinating it in diluted soy sauce before frying this is the end result. It looks better in person though the lighting in my kitchen is fucked (i feel like a blind old man in this kitchen. All the lights are this soft fucking yellow, i can't see shit captain)

the point is more the flavor though it just gives it this good savory base which i think will help people who don't like the texture of tofu or find it bland even with sauces
