Tofu pressing tips
If you’ve never heard of pressing your tofu, it’s a process that helps remove water from the block of tofu you purchase. You can either buy a tofu press that can press the water out for you, use pre-pressed tofu (usually vacuum packed and called super firm tofu), or press it by wrapping the tofu block in paper towels or a clean towel, placing it between two plates and resting a heavy book over top. Typically, press the tofu for at least an hour or more to achieve a chewy texture and better marination.
