1. 1

   Prepare: extra-firm tofu .
2. 2

   If using defrosted tofu and it’s still a bit frozen, you can place unpackaged tofu in the microwave and heat on high in 60- to 90-second intervals until you don’t feel any ice left inside the tofu. (If you forgot to freeze your tofu, no worries! The dish is still great with regular refrigerated tofu.)
3. 3

   Slice the tofu vertically into 4 slabs. Cover them with a few paper towels or a thin dish towel, then weigh them down with a couple heavy cookbooks. Press for 10-15 minutes . NOTE: If you have a tofu press, use that, but don’t slice the tofu into slabs.

   Once pressed, slice the tofu into ½- to ¾-inch ( timer .5 cm) cubes.
