[edit] About Pressing Tofu
Pressing tofu dispels some of the water, making the texture firmer and chewier. Wrap a block of tofu in a clean dishtowel and place on a plate or cutting board. Place a couple of cookbooks or flat, heavy objects (you might want to put a layer of plastic wrap between the two as the dishtowel will become soaked) on the tofu and let rest for 10 minutes. Unwrap the tofu and prepare.
