How to press tofu for marinades or frying (recipe)

1. Remove your tofu from its package and drain. Set the tofu on a flat cookie sheet. Please use Organic Tofu if you can find it. I don't use the regular kind because I do not want GMO in my meals.
2. Put a piece of wood or ceramic tile covered in tin foil on top of the tofu. Then use a heavy object to sit on top of the wood or tile. Whatever you use should be flat and fairly heavy.
3. Let the tofu press for at least 20 minutes on one side.
4. Flip the tofu and press an additional 15 minutes.
5. You should get a fair amount of liquid out of the tofu. I got slightly over 1/2 cup out of the two blocks of tofu I pressed.
6. Once this is done you can slice the tofu and marinade it or leave it whole. I am going to cut it in 4 equal pieces and poke holes in it with a wooden skewer so the marinade goes into the middle of the tofu as well.
7. You can marinade the tofu for several hours or over night. I wouldn't leave it any less then 3 hours. The longer the better!.
