To make Tofu Feta: Cut tofu into roughly 1/2-inch (13-mm) cubes. Carefully place in a lidded storage container. In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, oil, miso, nutritional yeast, oregano, garlic powder and salt until combined. Pour marinade over the tofu. Cover securely with a lid and shake very gently to coat all of the tofu with the marinade. Place in refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 12 hours, but preferably 24 hours.
