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, but pre-pressed tofu (usually it is vacuum packed and called super firm tofu) or you can press it the older fashion way by wrapping the tofu block in paper towels or a clean towel, placing it between 2 plates and resting a heavy book over top. Typically you want to try and press the tofu for as much time as you can. You should try to press the tofu for at least an hour if not more to get a really nice chewy texture. It also helps with marinating the tofu better.
