The best way to get tofu to soak up marinades and cooking sauces is to FREEZE IT FIRST.

Put drained tofu into ziplocks or other containers.

Freeze for at least 24 hours, preferably 48 or more.

Thaw in fridge, or microwave.

Press gently to expel water.

Cut into pieces, slices, dices, etc.

Marinate or cook in liquid as desired.

NOTE: Frozen/thawed tofu transforms into a porous, chewy substance, quite useful for mock meat dishes, stir-frys, and many other dishes.
