HOW TO PRESS TOFU AND 3 TOFU MARINADES
HOW TO PRESS TOFU:
Source: Gina Pasquale
Split the block lengthwise. lay several layers of paper towel on a flat surface; place the tofu cut side down on the towels, put another couple of layers of paper towel on top, cover with something flat and rigid (I use a cutting board) and place a weight on top. I read somewhere that baking the tofu after pressing the water out and before marinating helps the tofu to absorb the marinade better. So, I cut up the tofu after pressing, then bake at 375 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Then I put the tofu in the marinade, wait awhile, then stir fry or grill. Works great for me.

Press it for 45 minutes or longer; this presses out the excess water in the tofu, and makes it chewier and less likely to crumble. It can then be grilled or baked, or cut up for use in stir-fries. I usually marinate it after pressing. Here are a couple of marinades to get you started:
1. 1/2 cup light soy sauce, 1/2 cup dry sherry, 2 tbsp fresh grated ginger, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
2. 1/2 cup fresh soy sauce, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 Serrano chiles, seeded and diced.
3. 1 cup orange juice and 3 tbsp Jamaican jerk sauce.
