Pressing tofu makes it more compact and gives it a great texture. I also find it marinates better once pressed.
This is how I press tofu.
Use firm or extra-firm tofu. Open and drain.
Cut into desired shapes. Place on large cutting board over double-layered towel.
Cover with additional double-layer towel.
Place cookie sheet or another cutting board on top and load up with heavy objects.
Press for 30 minutes. Peek-a-boo, I see tofu!
All pressed. Towels are soaked.
Ready to marinate and bake or saute!
