Tofu is e very good meat replacer.
Just divide it in sizes you like, bake it first, and use instead of meat.
This is what we do with it when we use it, my experience is that it is best
to replace beef in recipes you want to make for vegetarians, or if you want
to go for a meatless day...
Never tried to marinade it in a chili sauce or powder, but as it works for
meat I think it will work for tofu, only it's can suck up more of the
marinade than meat, and this is depending on the quality of the tofu.
So, I think if you are going to marinate it you can use less marinade and do
it in a shorter time than when you use beef, well... if you like it just
like the meat you want to replace.
Correct me if I'm wrong on the 'I think' items.
