How to Press Tofu

After you have pressed your tofu for at least 15 minutes, you may also want to slice it into strips or cubes and then freeze it. Freezing tofu will change the texture of the tofu, making it firmer and "chewier", as well as more absorbent, like a sponge. The tofu pictured above was frozen then marinated in a soy sauce marinade. Notice how it has changed colors from absorbing the soy sauce marinade.
