    First notice that tofu comes in different textures, which is basically a function of its water content - soft, firm, extra firm, etc.
    Second, tofu has very little taste of its own, so it will take on whatever seasonings you are using.

    Try this, one of my favorites:

    Also consider...silken does not do well for savory of any firmness...it is really for stuff like dressings, dips & desserts....mmmm grand mariner chocolate soufle! Best tofu dessert ever!

    Also, drain, press to dry it out, etc. Slice it into 1/2 inch thick slabs...marinate in soy sauce and srriacha. Grill like a burger or chicken. Oh yum! Can do the same w/bbq sauce & a little OJ and brown sugar...but I like the first way better

    Mapo tofu. Either home made or from a sauce. If you have an asian market there are lots of savory sauces.....
