However, it can be difficult to find in stores. If you can&#8217;t find extra-firm tofu, you can use firm tofu that has been pressed to remove some of the water content.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Press_The_Tofu\"><\/span><b>2.

You can place the tofu on a plate or cutting board and place a lint-free kitchen towel on top. Then, place a heavy object, such as a book or a pan, on top of the tofu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the tofu sit for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the water to drain out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some grocery stores sell pressed tofu, which has already been drained of water.

So, if you&#8217;re short on time, cut the tofu into smaller pieces before pressing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Pat_The_Tofu_Dry\"><\/span><b>4.
