“2.​Pressing Tofu: This is far simpler than it sounds. Here’s how to press it like a pro: slice open the package of tofu with a knife, pour out the water, slice the tofu, and wrap each slice in a clean kitchen towel while pressing the excess water out, which is absorbed by the kitchen towel. That’s all. Just get the excess water out. People also use paper towels to do it, but it’s wasteful and costs more money, so I stick to clean kitchen towels. You can also wrap the tofu in a towel and put something heavy on it like a book to press it for a few minutes while you prep other things.”
