Notes

How to press tofu without a press
  1. Remove the tofu from its packaging and drain off any excess liquid.
  2. Place the tofu onto a plate lined with a folded length of absorbent paper or a folded dishcloth.
  3. Place the tofu on top of the absorbent paper on the plate and add another layer of absorbent paper to the top.
  4. Place a flat plate or tray on top of the tofu.
  5. Place weight onto the plate. The weight should be large enough and heavy enough to press evenly over the top of the tofu without crushing it.
  6. Let the tofu sit for about 30 minutes. If the towels get too wet, you may need to replace them with fresh ones and continue pressing.
The recipe makes about 450 grams (15.87 ounces), almost 2 cups of dip.
